car pulls sumtimes
So ya, looked over cant really find anything, please dont flame. Just got the car, but sumtimes wen im driving, it will pull either to the left or right, its understandable sumtimes cuz of the road, but sumtimes the road could be perfect and it still does, even wen braking sumtimes. Is something wrong with the differential? A noob to the mechanics of the car, so any help would be appreciated. Also hearing a ringing sound when accerlating after switching gears, goes away when I give it more gas, normal or...?

As for the pulling, look up tramlining. There's a good article on it on Tirerack.com and a bunch of info on it here.
No clue about the ringing, unless you have a 6MT and you're talking about the shift beep, which is an auditory reminder to shift gears and goes off at 8500RPM.

The ringing is the ports on the engine opening, it is normal.
The previous owner probably replaced one flat tire but left the others in worn condition. So one good tire is gripping the road but the rest need to be replaced. Look at the brand and treads of all 4 tires and see if this is the case.

Maybe you could post a bit of information about yourself and the car in your profile or in your signature... (look under user/cp)
What kind of tires are on the car? Stock wheels?
