Bare with me, i just woke up and gotta get to werk. Id like your input and comments, good or bad. Please hate if u feel the need to, I have a hater checklist that's feeling a bit loney lol :lol:. Thanks ahead of time.
Hello, name is Mark. I just bought myself a 92' 5 Speed Acura Integra GS. Im 18 years old, and not like a stereotypical asian, i dont know well enough about cars. My first car was a Mazda Mx-6 5 Speed, and i never had problems on that 145k engine. I'm more comfort than performance, but performance i would not mind. I bought this for for 1k, that was worth it just for the body style of this car, damn is it sexy. It has a few rust spots, a couple dents, fading paint. But whats a project if you dont work for it?
.
Where do i start oh geez.
1. My valve cover is leaking oil! I purchased a valve cover seal ( the insert between the cover and the engine ) hoping that this will solve the problem. Installing it tonight, never done this before so i was wondering what should i use to clean everything off? I've purchased engine degreaser for the oil that's chillin on the side of the engine, but as for under the valve cover, i have no clue what do expect. Tips?
2. I'll be changing my headliner and the carpet in my teg, and was wondering where i could get the molding/trim that goes around the top part of the window and goes through to the back?
3. Recommendation on struts for my baby? I was looking at the Tein S-Tech Springs that are on sale.

and wanna get struts while im at it.
4. Oh! Also i have to shift at lower RPM's in this car, is that normal? when i hit 3-4000 RPM's my car practically yells at me to shift her. As in my Mx-6 it felt fine. Why is it over revving? Could it be because of the leak from the valve covers? -sigh-
5. I've had the car for 2 days, and i relized driving, (23 miles) away from home my right tire is loose, my pops and i had a verbal arguement about if the wheel would of gotten hot because of the friction of the tire rumbling back and fourth on the road, or if the caliper was locking up. My opinion, does the caliper even touch the wheel to heat it up?
6. Last one i swear. When idled in my car, when i hold the window button, or sunroof button ( just as a use of power) my car will rev up and get a little shaky. Wth? so effing odd. Im guessing the battery is low, i just dont know the link between so.
Thanks for your time.
