I'm thinking about buying a ti. Ask all your questions about the possible purchase of a ti. Keep in mind, we are biased.

Default I just got a TI =)

So I just bought a 1995 TI Base Model with 211,000 miles. I know its alot of miles but its my first car so I just wanted something I can work on I guess. I hope this site can help me with what I need for my car. I was pretty happy to find a site dedicated to this car.

Great first car! Please keep it safe and avoid the normal "first car destruction" mode. My 2 cents.
Welcome to the org

Look for part out threads in the forum. You could find some good deals on parts.

Recommend that you change all the fluids and filters first. With ti's, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Enjoy your car! John

Seriously, do this first (refurbish cooling system)

You say you want a car that you can work on. Good, cause doing the preventative maintenance above you will save you heartache and money in the future. The instructions above are for a different engine then what you have, but they are similar enough to give you an idea of what you need to do. oemparts.com will assist you with selecting the right parts specific to your car.

Drop me a message if you need info.

Hey guys, I need a tune up for my car, and I really want to do it myself, can anyone give me advise or anything on how to change the spark plugs and cables, and clean out the air filter I have. My car currently has a K&N intake.
