oog61 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I rolled it over to six digits today. I don't recall seeing any other Spec.B's on here with 100,000 miles on them but doubt that I'm the first. But for those who wonder about how the first batch of 500 '06's hold up over the long haul: - Still on original headlight bulbs! And the DRL's have been enabled the whole time. - Front brakes are original; rear rotors and pads replaced at 93k - Both rear wheel bearings replaced free under extended warranty - Original battery lasted until about 90k - Been through two sets of RE050's + 1 set of Dunlop Winter Sport tires - Only mods: JDM tailights, Borla catback, XM radio, upgraded speakers - Mobil 1 + Subaru filters every 4000 miles - All scheduled maintenance done - Replaced water pump and timing belt at 93k; didn't want to wait to 105k - No other repairs - Lots of soap has gotten into the intercooler Still runs great. Best car I ever owned. Am hoping it goes to 200k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnout8488 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 That's awesome, seems like it's been a pretty reliable and inexpensive car to own! Are the front brakes close to being toast yet, or are they still decent? I find it funny the rears went first. Sucks about the soap :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJS5689 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I've had my car for almost two years and I'm almost at 60,000 now. She's stage 2, let's see how she holds up for the long haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_sharp Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 That is really odd that the rear rotors were replaced before the fronts. I think I replaced front and rear after 50k... or maybe I just had them 'turned' and machined, I can't really remember. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiedad51 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I've got an 07 with 89k. Just replaced the pads (still had about 10k left) and the rotors are fine. Needless to say I do a ton of highway miles - Probably 70 of the 89k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJS5689 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I had my crappy factory pads replaced during my 30,000 service. They had over 50% life left, but I hated them. I've had to have my rotors turned TWICE because of warping issues. I wish we had the STI Brembos, oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I replaced front and rear after 50k... or maybe I just had them 'turned' and machined, I can't really remember. I agree. Even though I'm not a modder, I get the work done at a tuning shop that does a ton of Subies. The guy there said they occasionally see the rears go first. It won't be long until the front ones have to be done though. Maybe I just don't use the brakes all that often, because I haven't had to replace any brake light bulbs either.
