New 93 lude owner, Questions

Just bought a 93 prelude, Automatic (so that means S correct) with 91000 miles on it. Always loved the car and need something so I dont have to drive my Tahoe so much.

Ok I searched the threads and didnt find the answers so here we go.

1. My feul warning light comes on when the fuel gauge reads 1/4 tank is that normal. The first time it came on I filled it up and she took 13.1 gallons. I belive it has a 15.9 capacity?

2. It says on the dash to run premium, but according to the threads i read, I should run regular since its a S?

3. When pulling it out of park into drive it is real tight, Normal?

4. It came lowered (Tein Prelude S. Tech Springs (1.1 Front, 1.2 Rear)
but it has no camber kit and I noticed the tires are wearing uneven. With all the camber kits out there, which ones are the best?

Here is a description of my new girl so far.

Automatic Trans

Apexi Prelude Worldsport 2 Exhaust

Tein Prelude S. Tech Springs (1.1 Front, 1.2 Rear)

BSA 17' gold rims

Falken Azenis tires

Combat rear spoiler (just painted last year and is not on car at moment)

Megan Racing Header

AEM Air Intake

Angel Eyes Headlights

Auto Meter Volt guage and Air/Fuel

Brand new Kenwood cd player wired for Subs

Brand new Infinity 6x9 speakers

Thanks for any help.

Fuel light is supposed to turn on with ~2 gallons remaining

The transmission isn't how you tell if its an S or Si (except for USDM VTEC models - they did not have auto trannies). Look in the driver's side door jamb, it will say the model underneath the lock mechanism on the frame. I know Si models say to run premium on the dash, so if it says to run premium you probably have the Si (never been in an S so I don't know if it says anything about what fuel to run on the dash)

you're in chicago? you sure you want a lowered car? =p

si means h23, be happy about some torque haha.
h23 also means run premium... but do a search and you'll see it's really not THAT important It's not liek you can beat the piss out of an auto anyways.

Well after running out of gas I found out my new cars gas gauge is off. Looks likr the warning light is accurate, but I am empty when the gauge reads 1/4 tank. Is there a fix for this.
