Got miles?

Post by SUBYLUV871 »

So the Older subarus are known for how many miles they go. Just thought I'd be cool to see what you got without a rebuild. Im
Sure you guys have some miles on those cars. I'll start it off.

My '94 SS has 244k on it right now. Not the original motor, though. Still looks pretty good, too. :)

Image

The '96 Legacy I owned from 242k to 275k still had the original motor, then I popped the HG and swapped another in, now my friend has it and is up to 290k with no problems.

It was sitting on Ground Control coil over sleeves, down about 3 inches from stock. Front and rear fenders were rolled and it tucked tires.

this was my 91 legacy n/a back in the mid/late 90s, it went 350k miles before the engine started knocking and 5th gear syncro went. only went thru 2 clutches in its life time. no rust either. dropped on h&r springs and bilstein struts. tsudo catback exhaust, intake and 8.5 mm ngk wires and plugs.


sorry, these are the only 2 pics i have... i donated the car after the engine went.

pic was taken in late 1999

Thought about snagging the cluster to swap into my car but that would feel undeserved.
