ok, made a big mistake tonight. just after finally getting the sho back on the road after like a week. we went out for a "test drive" 
eventually my buddy convinces me to let him drive. i figure sure, hes a good driver, and also owns a manual car so he'll be ok. but nooo!!! he was running through the gears, goes into 3rd, takes it up to about 85ish, goes to shift into 4th, but instead manages to throwit into 2nd!!! luckilly he quickly realized but he did let the clutch out already. engine screams, not sure how far but i think i saw it only go to 7500, but i think it went higher really. luckily he instantly clutched and pulled over. it didnt seem to do any damage though. ran perfectly fine still. so I drive back home. but at redlights we noticed it was idling kinda rough, not very bad, but def noticable. you could feel the whole car slighty shaking from the engine, mainly while idling. but the had no problems driving still. after we got home i poped the hood w/ the engine still running. now i heard a new noice which went with the rough idling and vibrations it caused. i located the sound best i could, it was coming somewhere from underneath the throttle body. no clue whats up, seems to drive perfectly fine still, although of course i didnt push it hard after that. our best guess is perhaps a piston ring on the right side of the engine? plz, any advise is greatly appreciated as this is my daily driver and needs fixing asap. is it safe to drive it like a granny in the meantime?
