that , is your VTEC. IT just fell off.

you gotta be smart like me! never never ever buy a new car with the first generation model!

this is the first batch of the 8th Gen ofcourse there are going to have problems,

i got a 7th Gen but the last model! Dec 2005 and she goes beautifully!!!!

did that fall off from the outside or inside?

the outside. i've never seen a part like it before. there is a possibility that it isn't from the car, however the fact that it was found under my car can't be ignored.

iirc there are a few honda techs on this board. i'm hoping someone can identify it soon in case it's important!

Seriously tho , did the part just appear underneath over night ? OR did you see it drop while driving etc ?

after having had to raise a scene at my last dealership visit to get some service, i'm not too keen on returning to honda at all. that said it is the most sensible course of action; however the car isn't making that many new funny sounds so i'll leave it until the next scheduled service.

i didn't see it drop while driving, it pretty much appeared underneath overnight. i've checked everything i own for what it could possibly be and turned up empty :( it is a fairly small part (13cm long, 11cm wide, 2mm thick) so at first i didn't think it was from the car; however now there is no other explanation :confused:

It could have been on the ground before you got home and parked your car over it.
