Re: 1986 Subaru GL or DL questions for a guru
I had a 1989 GL wagon, 1981 GLF 2WD got 41 mpg ,1983 wagon worst car. , 1984 GL turbo, 1984 2WD GL FI ,got 40mpg ( my favorite car did 110 in that.) 1992 Sports sedan turbo. Got 36 MPG quite fast. And then 2 SVX early 81 to 84 had head gasket problems. All had rust issues. All mine were 5 speed. ( except one SVX ) had a guy buy a 1984 with 140,000 miles on it. Was going to keep it while he restored his 92 Chevy Monti, beat it to death for 3 years and 30,000 miles. Girl friend totaled it. Not balls of fire but capable of running 80 all day long.
Est 0 to 60 in 9 sec.
Story about 83. I blew the motor ( distributor blew a bearing and out of time fired. # 4 out of sequence and put a hole in piston . I drove it 350 miles home. Smoked like wet straw on a bonfire ( sorry for stealing that I liked it )
84 was rare black with RED cloth interior multi port Fi all options . I want it back.
