I think the Honda Civic block heater should fit your engine as well, if that is the case it's a $30 heater that threads in to the block on the passenger side of the exhaust manifold.
When it comes time to replace your tires you might think about replacing the rims too, two options that would take your stock tire size are the Honda Civic HX rims and the first generation Honda Insight rims, both are around 11 pounds.
Because the car came from family, do you know how it was maintained? the transmision fluid should be changed every other year along with other regular tune ups.
Also, you might check, but at least Honda has a life time warranty on exhausts for original owners, not sure if Acura does the same thing.
