So to be safe, replace the belt every 90K miles OR every six years, whichever comes first.

I need to get cheap quality calipers. How much do they cost on average for all four? This is for a 94 Sedan. I plan on changing them myself since I don't trust any of the garages around me, not even the dealers(They are overpriced and do horrible work). How hard is it of a job? I will probobly be getting an impact hammer, I heard that its hard to take the calipers off without one.
So what websites would be a good deal to buy from?

Take the car into a muffler shop and have them tack-weld the shield back on. Probably a 10 minute, $10 job at most.

On the contrary Dave, I just made a thread about this and there seems to be no harm in removing the heat shield. Since it is from under the car, I am assuming this is the heat shield around the catalytic converter. If that is indeed the case, then the heat shield is there to keep the cat hot so that the reactions taking place inside it take place more efficiently. Removing it at worst would harm your emissions.
Tack welding it would only be a temporary fix, when you consider that the heat shield is rattling because it is corroding. It can (and eventually will) just corrode more in spite of the welds and just start rattling again.
I would suggest taking it off and just be careful if you need to park in tall grass that it doesn't light the grass on fire.

replacing the air filter with a K&N
I desperately need to replace the dirty air filter on my short ram intake that I have on my '94 GSR. The filter on there right now is some cheap Autozone or whatever generic conical filter. I would like to replace the filter with a K&N but I'm not sure which one to get. I want to make sure I get one that will fit before I order it. Anyone happen to have the part number for a K&N filter that would work well? I'm pretty sure the intake tube I have has a 3 inch diameter. I looked around on the k&n website for a while but I'm still not sure which one would be best...

Just take the dimensions of your current filter and buy a K&N replacement with the same dimensions. As long as the piping diameter is right and you have plenty of clearance, any length should be fine.

1990 Acura Integra
I have a 1990 Integra.. Replaced both fuel pump and relay.. Still do not have voltage at pump.. After I replaced relay it started fine, came out this morning and it would not start.. It also has aftermarket alarm that states it will enable the starter.. but the Haynes book says the factory alarm will disable the fuel system but it does not say how to reset the factory alarm. Can someone help??
