• Heater core went bad around 200k miles.
• Overheating problems, of course, replaced the radiator around 210k
• Timing chain wore out (actually the gear) at about 260k, which bent every exhaust push rod
• Brake booster wore out, just last week.
After all is said and done, still an awesome car!
I love the car. It's absolutely fun to drive. Even with the typical problems I've had and have had to fix to keep it on the road, she's still the best car ever. Pop the t-tops and ride.
I think the best part about the car, besides the feel of the car and the look/design of the car, is the exhaust. It is VERY unique and makes me extremely giddy. The throb while I'm puttering through town... I love it!
I had an 86 Trans Am back when I was a young adult. It was one of the best cars I had ever owned. Once you have one, it is always in your blood.
I currently own a 1986 FireBird T/A with the L98 corvette 350 and TCI race transmission, and 373 posi. I have to agree, they are a whole lot of FUN!!!
