My car hit the 200K miles mark! I was preparing for this. I took a pic from 199999 to 200000. I wanted to get out of my car and ask someone to take a picture of me next to my car. Sadly nobody insight. Kinda reminded me of the old toyota "what a feeling" comercials.

Is it an idiot light indicating a burnt-out brake light bulb?

Indeed.
I'm going to my grandparents' house in south FL tomorrow, and I'm gonna hit 150k on the way. I'll take a pic of that.

I hit 175k recently. 200k is definitely a huge milestone, I plan to take pictures of it

Ever since I switch my turbo trunk with a non-spoiler trunk. The lamp came on, when I switch back to the turbo trunk, the light stays on. I check all my lights, thay all work fine. Maybe a fuse problem?

did you plug in the third brake light on the turbo trunk (the brake light in the spoiler)? it probably went on and stayed on with the non-spoilered trunk because it didnt have the third brakelight plugged in, and probably stayed on when you swapped them back because it didnt get plugged back in

200K is pretty cool. What's that vent looking thing on your hood in the 2nd and 3rd pics?

Thats just an early jdm wrx vent. I wanted more cooling. I got lazy and only did one side.
the vents came from this:

the vents I got off ebay for $80 plus 15 shipping. Don't see too many of these vents....I do see a lot of 22b vents and outback vents.

I agree with Laurel...how many high mileage imprezas do you see vs. high mileage legacies?
Yeah, that's what I thought
And yes, I haunt Nasioc a lot, I really don't see much over 100k

Those vents make the hood look kinda RS-RAish

you should paint them though..I'm not digging the white.

That wagon has the best looking Impreza bumper on a Legacy.
Do the other vent and get them painted with the scoop and it'll look great.

350000 kilometers equals out to about 217,480 miles.
I sold my 91 with 228000 miles on it, approximately 366930 kilometers. It still ran like a fucking champ, too.
