On my way home from work tonight my 93 Legacy L AWD wagon 2.2 5 speed turned over 200,000. Not a huge deal but it was fun to watch and it made me smile. Original clutch and many of the major components are original. Engine untouched save the required routine items.

 

The one thing that makes me really happy, the boots and CV joints are made out out kryptonite(sp)! On my VWs, back before I saw the light of the Subarus, I was changing CV joints and boots ever 15 minutes (or so it seemed). Think about it, boots that have 200,000 miles AND are 12 years old! These Subaru CV joints and boots....fegetaboutit (said with a Tony Saprano north Jersey accent).

Weird. I've had to have boots replaced at least 4 times in the 116K I've had the car (92 w/ 231K).

 

Prob. has something to do with the fact that the new boots aren't as good as the originals.

 

Anyway, congrats...start shooting for a quarter mil!

240K on my 90 legacy and still going strong.

I thought it was good when I passed 100,000 miles this week on my 1996 Impreza Outback. And I missed it too, caught it just as it rolling over to 100,002 miles.

200,000 miles and 12 years on the original CV boots???? Holy makerel, Batman!

 

Do you ever turn the steering wheel?? I have the nagging suspicsion that all the parallel parking I do stresses my boots.

I wonder if spraying a clean boot with silicone would prolong the magic?

Me too. Joined today. I purposely drove home the "long" way to get it over 200K. Still rides/drives like a dream...

 

Hopefully it will last awhile longer, without too much going wrong.
