biffanyus Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 My 82 brat hit its 100,000 miles the other day. The scary thing was I happen to be playing the Doors greatest hits and "The End" was playing when it hit over. I know that 100,000 isnt much but Im sure of things to come, problems that is. It was kind of starting to over heat tonight. Lets hope everything stays intack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueTrain Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 ahh.. and mine turned over 150,000 today on the way to work. Should have brought some more appropriate tunes, but had to settle for "Remedy" by the Crowes... Don't want to get too happy about the milestone, since i want my rig to start in the morning.

eyesore Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 I'm showing 72K on Eyesore. Could be 172K, but it doesn't leak any oil at all, (or anything else) which leads me to believe it may actually be 72. I know she spent about 8 years more or less dormant in a garage shortly before I bought her..... I guess I should be seriously thinking Timing belt, huh? Oh, yeah, Congrats on the milestone, biffanyus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 I'm trying to hit 300K (non original carb and engine block though) before WCSS6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibaru Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Is there a "club" for 283,000 miles on an '89 GL Wagon? ______________ "My opposition is horizontal"- unknown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northguy Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 It's interesting that most people try to limit the mileage on their cars while Subaru owners celebrate their high miles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezapar Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 When I tell peole my 86 hatch just turned 200, they say "NO WAY!!!!" It looks good and young for its age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaru420 Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 And I foolishly departed with my old 88 GL wagon at a quarter mil. Oh well The new (actually older) 83 GL is going to be my new slut for the next few hundred thousand. Wish I woulda known how easy engine swaps were when I sold the last one. Some lucky guy got it for $450 and trashed it within a thousand miles. He thought it was an AMC Eagle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvdrt Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 mine had 187k on it when the h/g let go. i just bought another engine and put it in. the heads were cracked, and i didnt want to take the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stupidru Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Eyesore...unless you swapped in an ea82, you don't have timing belts...ea71's & ea81's are gear driven. I never owned a Subaru under 100k. Stupidru just turned 158,000. Highest mileage I achieved was an 84 4x4 Sedan carb auto 190,000. The engine went 40,000 without an oilchange before rings finally give out. It leaked oil so I just kept topping it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
