There is a definite clunking noise coming from my car since I installed my FSB from Neuspeed. The strange thing is that I can feel it in my gas pedal. It only makes the noise when I'm starting out slowly, like at a stop light. Then again in 2nd gear, after that it stops.
I assumed that maybe I overtightened the bolts on it, so my friend and I loosened and retightened them to the proper torque (35 ft/lbs, according to the instructions). The noise was still there.
Before I left for work today, I looked into my engine bay and saw that the holder for what I think is the throttle cable is pushing into my strut bar. There are definitely scratches/gouges from where the pictured piece of engine is hitting my bar.
Would it be safe to bend this down and and out of the way? Also, what the hell caused this? In the picture, the throttle cable thingy (for lack of a better term) is nowhere near the strut bar. Why the hell did this happen to me?
