If you dont want to put money into the oil than use a decent name brand, just make sure its not synthetic and it will be cheap enough. Use the stock ngk pluggs and wires to replace the exsisting one's(their not pricey compared to after market one's). Manual tranny fluid..im not sure...I have an auto, but my guess would be any trusted name brand thats not pricey will be fine.

between Mobil clean 5000, castrol GTX drive hard, or Castrol High miler. Which brand is good enough ?. I will take some pix of the car later today.

oil is oil man, its all the same except for a few additives. Just get the OE stuff and it will work great

Like I said man all oil is the same unless you compair synthetic to conventional otherwise the ONLY difference is a few additives, they all have to meet the same standards. As far as gear oil I hear alot of different names being mentioned, as for me I'm going with royal purple.

its fine to use the battery out of your 2g in your 1g. I have a cheap napa battery in my talon and it works just fine even with a system. I'm not sure about warranties though, you'd have to ask your parts store

Just go with 10w40 Valvoline max life since your milage is pretty up there, and get some 80 w 90 gear oil and your good to go. any cheap plug should do you just fine right off the bat, make sure your spark plug seals arnt leaking and filling your spark plug chamber with oil and shit like that.
