Talking Lots of worries for my new FC!

JUST got my new 1st car! and it's a 90' GTU for only $700! hmm... i dont know NOTHING about rotaries or RX-7's. (more likely cars) But he keeps the car in good shape (performance wise) body color WAS red but faded to kinda orange! hahah but yeah my concern is like what precautions should i look out for when my car is still up and running and how to keep up the maintenance? My headlights are sticking up and stuck! not really stuck, but it stays up, but the lights work! and when every i twist the motor thing on the bottom a little the headlight goes down and pops right back up! so i dont really know whats wrong with it (maybe a electrical problem), and the car kinda bogs from accelerating from idle, unless i keep on the clutch a little and then it'll be fine. And i dont know how the car should be pushing as in HP.... but in 3rd gear, when i smash it, it just feel like i'm regular driving but until i reach about 4500 RPM then power kicks in.... any problem? normal? yes i'm annoying huH!? thanks for reading this and any help would be appreciated! Too excited! cant concentrate!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well do a tune up. replace plugs,fluids, as for headlights make sure that its not a fuse or check to see if the pop up headlight switch is on. you might have to clean your ports out or something look up how to clean ports on the search.

well first thing you should do is a tune up for the car. oil change, plugs, wires, coolant flush, etc...
It'll run even better after that!

And cheack your fuses for the headlights, thats why mine stayed up.

Have fun with the car!
