ok well no one wants to play so i guess i will go into further detail...
I installed a new Spec 3 clutch last fall ~3,000 miles ago. I did not go to the track, do burnouts, spray nitrous or anything. I have a heads/cam setup making ~450rwhp. Whatever this thing is, it came loose from somewhere and did some damage which i will show below. It is NOT a bolt. I took it to my friends performance shop after i did a 2nd gear pull and started hearing God awful noises and the pedal feel is all over the place. He pulled off my starter and with a magnet pulled this thing out. He thinks its a weight off of the pressure plate? I would just like to see if anyone knows what this thing is or has had a similar thing happen before i look for my next course of action.
Here are some pics:
My bell housing is destroyed, it has actual holes in it that look like someone shot it with a .22 rifle as well as numerous cracks. My starter is also chewed up pretty well.

Of course it is a gamble. When I reinstalled my t56 back in RX7 we broke a piece off the bell housing that made 2 bolts useless. I rolled the dice and went with it, Ended up working out pretty well. But my damage is a little different from yours.
