oh dear... you're engine is detonating... go get the timing sorted ASAP... go put premium (98octane) in before you do anything.
Go to a workshop and tell them the engine is pinging like a motha ****a and they will sort the shit out.
tips...
DONT push the car
PUT premium in.

if its not detonation, if could be lose bolts... does it sound like ball bearings rattling in a tin-can??? if so its more than likly detonation.
It does sound like your car is pinging. Get it checked ASAP by a mechanic. Its unlikely you'll find an easy fix on these forums with asking vauge questions. Not having a go at you but its the best option for you and your car dude.
rattling and loss of power? could be anything. where is the noise comming from? could be anything froma spun bearing, to loose bolt.
hey guys, thanx for the help, i got it fixed today, it was actually the cat coverter, there was a crack on the top of it...weird i noe. but i changed it and now everything is all good. thanx:)
pinging..... odesnt it sound like a fan hitting tin foil?.... if n e one wants to know for future reference
nah, sorta, but its just really really bad rattling, like when i let go of the accelerator, it just vibrates really bad and it rattles heaps.
did you make sure you retrieved all your tools after installing your extractors ?
yeah for the record, what is pinging and what is detonation
pinging = detonation = engine knock.
