    All I can say is that it is a spacer of some sort not sure if its off your 328 but I know I haven't seen anything like it on my 308 yet.

    very small too.. Odd isn't it.

    Dont think its a spacer. From the slotted holes, its an adjustable latch striker plate. Dont recognize it as an F-part.

    That's obviously a muffler bearing.

    I just got a set of 4 for my Mondial... $399 on eBay, what a deal!

    :D

    Perhaps it's the headlight fluid pressure compensator - I'm sure I saw one of these on my 308 somewhere up there.

    Looks pretty obvious that it's a "U" joint to me... or maybe perhaps a "C" joint.... lower case "n" joint?

    Did it fall off? If not, then that wasn't the part.

    My best guess is it's a leftover Fiero part from a "Quality Engine Conversion" being discussed in another thread? Depending on which way it's mounted, it could be the "I" or the "E" from the logo? haha

    Thanks for all the, uhm... informative responses fellas :) Will have to inspect my lawn mower :)

    Funnily enough the car is getting the cambelts changed as we speak. Main reason was 4 years and 30 k kms had passed.

    That's the blinker fluid reservoir retainer.

    You need to remove it in order to properly grease your front brake rotors. You need to keep on top of this or you could experience a major car fire.

    BTW...have'nt seen one fall off my 328 yet:D

    not positive but I believe that's the thrust adjuster thigamajig from the Polish Space Shuttle. More than likely just landed in your driveway. No big deal as they put 4 vintage Chevy Chevette engines in their shuttles just in case one fails.

    It's a change holder, clearly evidenced by the nickel and dime laying there with it.
