So what kinda wierd noises should i be attentive to when driving? My car seems to make a wierd noise between 2k-3k rpms in 2nd and third gear, like sorta a ticking noise but its wierd, dont know. Other than that it runs great. I think i have experienced some of these heat soak problems i hear about as well. My last car was a 93 eclipse gsx and that put out say 200hp. I just think my car isnt as fast as i think it shold be right now, or maybe its in my head. its a 92 SE 5spd
