noise...

so lately when i have been driving around, but just on and off, i hear this nose down by the floor on my passenger side. the best way to describe it is it sounds like a piece of metal is rolling around. i did look, and look, and look...... i didnt find anything and am clue-less. any ideas?

You didn't take Wicked03 for a ride did you? His brain probably fell out and is rolling around underneath the seat.

Take your driver seat out and pull the carpet back- inspect everything- that would drive me crazy!

Lol sorry. Does it happen more when you brake/accelerate. Taking corners? I know you probably already looked but is it something in your glove box? maybe something underneath the column where the shifter is?

You're cute btw

Nschi, I know the feeling. I was driving around for over a week with a noise coming from my back seat area that sounded just like a can of spray paint with the agitator rolling around every time I turned, stopped etc.... I looked and looked and finally one day found a pen cap someone had left in a cup holder. Good luck but don't forget to look in strange places like the console, cup holders for something rolling around.

I bet it’s your stainless steel exhaust system making popping sounds as it's cooling down.

its more of a rattle than a pop...literally, if you put a metal piece in a can or something and shake it around, thats my noise. my boyfriend had an exhaust leak and its not that pop, and its def. more of a noise than my exhaust cooling, ive had this car for awhile and the noise just started

myspace? myspace and cardomain are nothing alike but ok. that spoiler on the rsx looks just like the stock one. have you looked at your spoiler that came with your car? you have alot of nerve to call it hidious when it's less flashy than the ss/sc spoiler.

i'm thinking it's maybe something inside one of the doors. if a nut came off of the regulator or something like that, it could be slideing around in there. the inside of a door is a long straight path of bareish metal. happened on my E21.

note: it's not my car, but that RSX would be one that i'd point and laugh at... and i don't hate RSXs
