"CLUNK" WTF???
For those of you in the frozen abyss like me, does your Evo occasionally make "CLUNK" noise starting cold to reverse gear? That's what my 04'RS did this morning, twice! 
Aside from this rude awakening, the car drives fine otherwise...
Is this regularly observed with Evos in freezing conditions?

Mine makes a million new noises in the "frozen fogged abyss" that is the Great Salt Lake Valley as opposed to when it's not cold and foggy...one of which is a sort of creaking clunk noise that it likes to do in just about any gear, i've been told it's just my suspension

I hope it's the suspension causing the "CLUNK" and not the rear diff.!
FYI, I do have Eibach lowered springs and I do notice that it occasionally tend to make bottoming out "CREAKING" noise in the rear...
But this "CLUNK" was totally unexpected!

Had this happen
i had this happen a few times.. specially when snows around to the best of my knowledge i think its the brakes. Car kinda Bogs a little then "CLUnk" and pops loose. I think its Hot calipers melting snow then when u let it sit the pads Freeze to the caliper or something seems to only do it if i let it sit a day. not if i go into the mall or something. So seems like it needs time to refreeze.
