kodiak1232003 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Need to fix a few things. Oil leaks for one. Valves need setting, for another.. Also due for an oil change. all pretty much general maintenence, really. Other than that, Celeste, as my wagon has come to name herself is acting like a good girl. I've been tallying my mpg and i get between 23-25mpg consistantly with a 46 mile(total) commute each day. I fill up on arco 87 cheap stuff, and she still purrs with contentment. I have the stock (what, "hitachi"?) carb and I smogged with very little emissions last month. I wish I could put a bigger gas tank in. How big is my stock one? Even with such good mileage I have to fill up each week with a range of about 220 miles or so. Some days I can't even imagine putting her up for sale, cuz she's such a good runner, but I just can't figure how to get a family of five in a four seater. Good thing we have our van, I guess!

'84 Flat-Four Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Is Celeste the one in the Anza-Borrego desert video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiak1232003 Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) Is Celeste the one in the Anza-Borrego desert video? yeah' date=' thats the one. I thought it was fitting since "Subaru" is japanese for the star cluster Pleiades (seven sisters). After I found that out it opened up a bunch of opportunities for names...lol. here's an action shot. note the ghetto, "made the night before" roof rack. We didn't end up needing the extra fuel, I only burned a 1/4 tank the whole day: [img']http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb64/kodiak1232003/subie1.jpg[/img] it also held an axe/shovel mount, which both went un-used, but I'd never be on the trail without them.

'84 Flat-Four Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 That's a sweet Soob! Don't get rid of it! You'll figure out how to squeeze 5 in there! go to the JY and pull the jump-seats out of a Ford Ranger, install in the back of cargo area, and walaah... seating for two more...
