Found This bolt in my drive way is it from our cars?

06CivEXJon · 02-03-2007, 08:12 PM

Sorry for the crap cell phone pics but hopefully you get an idea of what his part looks like. It is a bolt with a red top shaped into a box and a rounded end,does anyone know where this part is from? or if it is even from our cars? thanks.

it holds your valves in place.

06CivEXJon · 02-03-2007, 09:11 PM

So this is definatly from our cars?

***Zeuceone*** · 02-03-2007, 09:13 PM

does not look like it.

06CivEXJon · 02-03-2007, 09:25 PM

Not for K20 or R18 then? if its not then im glad if it is then ill have to take it in to see where it fell out from. The car made a very weird grinding noise last night, i dont know WTF it was but it felt like there was metal or something scraping the road and hanging off my car,it did stop but man it was a weird sound. I do not know if this is related though,could of been the brakes were cold or something non serious.

looks like a construction bolt, hence the red paint. marked at a store to tell it apart from other bolts

***Zeuceone*** · 02-03-2007, 09:28 PM

maybe its just you being paranoid. not for either model. i havent seen any red screw on either model car.

06CivEXJon · 02-03-2007, 09:32 PM

It kind of looks like it is part of the engine i dont know,i just wonder if it is going to pose a problem or not if indeed this bolt fell off or got loose from the engine. Does anyone know for sure what it is? and where it goes?

Doesn't look like any kind of automotive bolt I've seen.

radiocontrolhead · 02-03-2007, 10:54 PM

I'd be more worried about that grinding sound you experienced.

Skyline4life · 02-03-2007, 10:58 PM

its for your flux capasiter.

radiocontrolhead · 02-03-2007, 10:59 PM

It's acctually to hold his muffler bearings in place.

looks like it may have come from the bottom of one of the seats..maybe?

MutantCheese · 02-03-2007, 11:27 PM

I agree that it does not look like an automotive bolt.

06CivEXJon · 02-04-2007, 12:08 AM

Cmon guys im serious where is this part from?!

kevzSi · 02-04-2007, 12:33 AM

its from the engine mounts..so theres a chance ur engine might fall off. take it to the dealer. should be covered under warranty. also check that your blinker fluid levels are normal so your car doesnt stall on the way there.
