How many of you have scoobs with more than 100,000 miles?

Sign in here please

 

Me, just past the magic 100k, still going strong no probs, service it myself to keep cost down.Had it on the rollers recently 230 bhp 205 ft/lb torque not bad for near standard (22bhp up on standard) MY96 uk turbo (bb & straight through centre, panel filter, forge D/V)
The only things I have replaced are header tank broke plastic one
+ excuse to get nice shiny forge one.
Clutch, tyres, battery + servicing bits, but thats wear and tear!

 

112k for me

103,000 - MY94 UK Turbo with SS Backbox + K&N Panel Filter standard otherwise.

Serviced by myself, keep on top of any little problems and it's still going really strong.......

As long as they've been looked after, I wouldn't hesitate to buy one with 100,000 on the clock.

160,000



Well, 159,987 as of this morning


UK MY95

 

nice to hear those scoobs still going strong

 

104,000

 

118K and still rolling on. No smoke - just an annoying oil leak from the rockercover....one day soon I will get it sorted...

 

Nimbus, original turbo etc? Had many big bills? Just interested as I intend to run mine (MY02 WRX) to as high as I can, at least 200k!

:-)

PS. Our MY98 Sport has 102,000, runs great!

 

MY98 Silver UK 4door 147660 miles owned since new, still drives and handles as well as always, if not better as its almost run in, selling soon any offers?

peevee

 

its reasuring that there are plenty of high milers around. me myself is coming close to the big 100 on 92 at the mo and driving better than ever.

 

MY96 JDM WRX Wagon...curently at 96,637 but does about 5-600 miles a week..so in 6-8 weeks will be there. Did 40,000 miles in it last year and not one problem..don't drive it slowly either, just done its first airfield day..starts and goes like a dream.

 

This thread makes me happy..............

Better than all that **** about meltdown on piston 3.

 

Mike,

It's on the original engine and turbo. Major bills have been...

1 x new clutch
1 x new water pump
2 x cam sensor


Only mods are MY00 seats, MY99 wheels and a Powerflow de-cat center and back box.

Still goes great. No smoke, but a small leak from the PAS and a small oil leak from somewhere.

Oh, and the heat shield is a bit rattley...

 

Spoke too soon just replaced radiator today
peevee

 

Oh yea, that reminds me.

1 x new radiator (re-con)
1 x new top hose

Rather too spirited a drive on the way home one day...

 

Could I have special membership please....97,800 miles on a MY00 V reg Prodrive saloon, but unless I do 2200 miles in the next two weeks (which is possible), she will be changed for a MY03 STi before I get to the magic 100,000

Hey Nimbus, come to think about it, mine (118K) has a small leak from the power steering and a rattly heat shield too..

 

That's great news! I've been getting so worried about my big miles, 12,800 in 4 months, that I've been driving the other half's Sport (MY98) and to be honest (after having Powerstation sort my geometry and new springs on the WRX) it's so boring to drive, slow, lack of feedback and average turn in/handling I can't stand it so I'll get back in to my WRX and enjoy racking up those miles!

Question is, is it worth doing anything to improve the Sport's handling?

:-)

Mike

 

They get faster with age, honestly.
My old wagon has about 120K on it now (was 110 when I sold it)
and at a recent rolling road day it had 241 bhp with 225lbs torque. Its just got a Scooby sport full exhaust and an ITG panel filter. It was 20 bhp up on a PPP'd MY00 with a decat also ,
and it still drives spot on with original gearbox, engine and turbo.

Jas

 

Excellent thread guys ...mines only on 56,000 at the moment, but I'm planning on keeping it until 150,000 ...well, that's if I can resist the Sti8 for that long

 

There has surely got to be some more 100,000 plus cars out there, dont be shy lets share your stories
peevee
