WagonsOnly Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Nope, not a single BRAT. I don't much like the idea of having a two-seater. One of these days, maybe...but the prices on Brats are going up, not down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik R Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 With only 261k on an EA82 SPFI.............. Since someone a few pages back mentioned a Benz with 300k, check this car out: http://www.vcoa.org/irv_o_meter.shtml http://www.hillmanimages.com/912/081801_467.html Engine was rebuilt at 675k..................I know, it doesn't count here...............Subaru may very well be the equivalent to the Volvo in Japan and abroad..............alot cheaper to maintain also! (former Volvo owner.........they resell very high) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrell's in Mt.Vernon has a decent selection of parts cars. As for the gross interior, mine was disgusting when I got it too - I removed the whole interior except the dash (seats, trim, door panels, carpet, seatbelts) and vaccuumed, washed, scrubbed, bleached, you name it. Came out pretty good for how gross it was. I did end up making seat covers for the bottom parts of the front seats that some stains didn't come out, so I had to cover them (I *hate* the seat covers from stores that never fit right!) My car has 288,000 miles - replaced the engine from a car that had 220,000 miles on it. '86 GL wagon 4x4 carbed EA82 (engine came from an '85 GL Wagon 4x4 carbed EA82).

MotorMatt98 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I have an 81 gl with only 89k miles on it so far, bought it less than 100 miles ago and I’m glad to see other people getting as many miles as they are on theirs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiGL Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Gertie (my 1989 Omega Touring Wagon) did 445,000km on the original carbie EA82. She's now getting close to 450,000 kms. Getting up there! Edited March 29, 2020 by KiwiGL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
