Hey everyone! Absolutely love the site and how everyone comes together to help each other out! Nice to be among fellow 200sx and the like owners! I have had mine for a little over a year now and am finally able to get her up to par and then some. I do not have a boat load of $$$ to spend therefore I am going to restore her to her former stock glory and also spray her with black instead of keeping her white. I will also add on what my budget allows...along the lines of NA stuff. Later on down the road I will do the turbo....plus then my license will be able to handle owning a Turbo! LoL!! =)

What I am hoping is that someone or a bunch of you out there have parts or a car your wanting to part out. I need a bunch of stuff and will be able to purchase it all here soon....want to get a big list together and go from there. Here is some of what I know I want as of right now.

-SR20DE engine with average miles
-Driver and passenger door hinges (lower and upper on both sides)
-Black Interior Carpet and Black Trunk Carpet
-matching locks for both doors and trunk
-need a 2.5" catback system (I have headers and front pipe)
-anyone got a good used or new better than stock CAI?
-Might need motor mounts and suspension parts??
-Anyone got good Calipers?
-Driver and Passenger side window control switches with black trim

That is all I can think of for now...not really a lot to be done but a lot of time to do it...and I got plenty of that! =) Like I said...I do not have a bunch of money but will def! spend for some good deals. If you live in Ohio somewhere close we could even meet and I could pay in cash...saves money over PayPal! =)

Take care everyone and I look forward to sharing my restore experience with pics and all...gonna be fun....self tear down with a friend or 2!

With all that you are looking to replace you might as well buy another one. It is probably going to cost the same. Post some pics so we know what is going on and some more details. What is wrong with the motor? You can find most of these parts at a junk yard for cheaper than you will find them on here.

I am looking into getting a new one at this point...looking around and not some bad deals. Will still get pics up tomorrow when I get the cam back. It runs like crap and had someone tell me the engine is bad from missing a gear and better off replacing it instead of fixing it. Although with everything else wrong I am not sure. I got it for a good deal as a fixer upper off of a friend. Got the usual 200sx rust also!!!! :( Have you all pics tomorrow. Thanks for reading!
