Okay, I'm at 199,680 miles on the '04.

List what you want to know about the car and I will reply.

If you desire pics, I will post to timdemerjian.blogspot.com

Skeeler, how's the car holding up cosmetically? I'm guessing w/ subaru's paint quality and 200k miles I'm four seasons driving not so well.. Not to mention the soft body panels/doors that seem to attract dents, I remember buddy of mine had an 04 wrb and his hood scoop had paint peeling of it @ 60k miles .. I hope mine holds up better than that .. But anyway lol.. How's it look after all that travel?

The front bumper/spoiler is sand blasted and the front of the hood is pocked a bit, otherwise, the paint is in excellent condition for the mileage. I don't tailgate very much due to the great torque allowing me to slip around the slower drivers.

^^^ I'm at 82.5k and my paint looks like its been sandblasted, and I don't tailgate!

Paint is holding up well, except for the anticipated areas of wear -- front lip, door handles, rubber bump stops on hood and trunk lid. Arms on trunk lid squeak like crazy, now -- WD 40'd every friction area I could think of and it barely made any difference. It squeaks even when it's closed and I'm driving.

What I hate the most is -- rear struts are so shot, I have to anticipate the back-end will hop and skip and really have to "think" my stops and turns. :(

A little white lithium lube will quiet the squeaks in the trunk. WD40 is crap.

You're my mileage hero!

WOW, just checked back in on the milage thread.....nice to see you're still goin' skeeler. Goes to show you they last if you don't push the power. :) If I were ever to buy another STi (which is HIGHLY unlikely) first mod will be upgraded internals. After that, the mods would begin, especially if it's a DD AGAIN.
