Default Mechanical Clunk on Take off? 2012

Hi,

I've done some searching and managed to find Perth WRX

I have a 2012 WRX that has done about 20,000km.

On take off last wednesday in the wet I decided to test out how good launching in the wet is... sounds fun right?

After take off (clutch to 3-4k rpm) drop clutch and go, the front of the car makes a loud clunk clunk clunk probably 0.5 second apart that sounds like I've just run over a length of steel.

I thought this was odd... so I did it again in the dry... it happened again, not as severe.

Tried some lower rpm take offs...no problems.

I believe the issue is that whenever I get the front wheels slipping, it makes the clunk...

Now I might be just full retard, but is this normal? I called subaru osbourne park after it was wet and happened and they didn't say too much about it.

Any ideas? It only happens when traction control is off.
