hi, im Dylan, im 19 from NE kansas. i work as a machinist and still live with my parents :lol: some of you may know me from a 3bar issue... but id rather not get into that. 
I've been a member here since July 07 but never really introduced myself. ever since i learned about syty's, i've been almost obsessed with them, even before i've seen one in person(just videos). But i tried to read up on them as much as i could befor i bought one.
I ended up, on this forum, finding a 93 Ty in wichita, ks, so on Sept 22, 2007 i went down there with a friend and bought it right there for $5300. she was not the best running thing out there, but it sure was worth it. the main problem it had was while cruising, in D or OD at 1950rpm or higher, she would, what seemed to be missfire or something, so i didn't drive it any faster than that untill i figured out why.
i ended up doing the engine code diagnostic thing with the paperclip and the MAP and TPS where low on voltage, so i replaced those and the missfire seemed to go away
when i got her, she had 3" borola exhaust, lowerd, and a bad allignment plus there is what is supposed to be a ALDL cable already hooked up in the glove box. I'm a lil confused about it, so i'll post something about it in a few days.
What i have done to it since includes: reroute IC lines, upgrade IC pump and it was already hotwired to the IGN wheni got it. replaced a really bad idler arm, replaced heater core, 160 thermostat, turbo-IC pipe, replaced ball joints, got the fog lights workin with a new switch, replaced a broken mid console hinge...
things in my new stuff pile, but not put on: walbro fuel pump, AFPR, fuel filter, spark plugs & wires, new coil, tie rods and sleves, set of stock rims/ wheels on them... oh and a 3bar MAP...dont worry about that for now :roll: lol
fyi, i dont need to be reminded about searching, i've learned my lesson, and i'll ask more questions :tup:
i would like to hear from anyone with some recomendations on what i should put on/buy/do first. THANKS :tup:
