coolbeans Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I'm new here, I was looking around for parts for my soob and found this great place! I'm looking for a new shift linkage, it's getting really tough to get into reverse anymore, I imagine this is a typical problem for most cars with this many miles . Other than that, the soob runs pretty good, still tight and no rattles, its not quite as peppy as it once was, but does alright. I did have to replace a water pump at 230,000 miles though. I'm looking forward to talking with and meeting people here! I dont know much about these as nothing much has gone wrong with it yet!

coolbeans Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 Yeah, I had to do that 22,000 miles ago, and during a big snowfall to boot. At least the wind wasnt blowing for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSoob Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 230,000?? Did you end up with my old GL? Its nice to see someone else from Co. 19 Wyo. One of the least populated areas in Wyoming. Hehe. How long have you had your Subaru? I had most of the Subarus memorized in SW wyoming about 7 years ago. (BTW- I'm from Evanston) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolbeans Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 sweet82 - Thanks! , sadly, I only own one, an '89 GL 4wd hatchback, 4sp & white spoke rims, a fun car to drive as I have put 45,000 miles on it already! Bluesoob - I've had it 2 years now, I bought it from a fellow Lymanite who owned it since new, he used to drive it to Jackson and back at least once a week. I picked it up for $500.00, and it has sure been worth it! You talk about least populated, this place is so small when I got my phone installed, I called the operator & told her the line was way too long and she told me "that's OK, I'll just pull it in from this end"!!

Adam N.D.J. Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Funny, I seem to remember a guy on alt.autos.subaru way back in like 96 that went by the name coolbeans, or maybe it was coolbeanz, either way he was a really kewl dude, came up with some of the most off the wall ideas, like a turbocharged EA81 Justy!, which back then was just a pipedream, nowadays, it's a reality. . .
