"One of the 5 best I've ever owned"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Starter quit @ 77,000.

Transmission failed @130,000.

I've installed 2 steering racks.

General comments?

I've owned this beauty since it's 14,000 th birthday.It's now celebrating 202,000,and is still very strong.

The car is black ; the exterior needs new paint to look sharp, and the black interior is still original (although somewhat sun-faded).

The motor and trans are primo and the rebuilt suspension has made the coupe into a handler.

Four years ago, the A/C failed, but I had it rebuilt to the non-Freon standards.

Except for the trans dying, it's never left me at the side of the road.

The 200sx SE was never produced as a coupe. You may want to check to make sure you actually have the SE.

Yes it was available as a coupe. I have only seen one or two. You could also get the 4cyl in a hatchback. The V6 cars period are rare as hen's teeth. I have only seen one in a junkyard ever.

Poor choice of words, sorry.My SX is a 5-speed hatchback.

It's now at 210,000,and I'm sad to say, the A/C has quit.

I have just put a new set of Coopers on it, and I'll need brakes soon.Otherwise, it just keeps rolling on.
