" I have a dream,,, a dream of the perfect Subaru,, with a lift kit , white spoked wheels, cargo rack, KC daylighters, and a sand beige paint color":brow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik litchy Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 the turbo engines have a diffrent final ratio, and you never said if it was automatic, or 2wd, or dual range or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[HTi]Johnson Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Yeah, you gotta tell us what is what. What does the GL have and what does the GL-10 have. The GL-10 might have a different spline count on the inner CV(Double offset joint) than the GL. Because it is a turbo. Someone will explain better than me. But interior stuff like seats and console will swpa with no prob. So i think the major differences with the GL-10 is Turbo'd, it may have air stuts (tend to be a bad thing, but you can swap your GL's struts into, with little mod'ing, if any). More specific info, will get ya more specific answers . [HTi]Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Common misconception. Not all EA82 style GL-10s are turbo. There are a number of SPFI GL-10s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qman Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 i carefully worded my post to reflect that You did? Back to the topic. The above linked post will give you most of your answers. I have some brochures for '85, '86 and '87. I'll try to dig 'em out and let you know the differences. I believe I put a post in the other thread with imput from the brochure also.

Numbchux Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 I beleive it's just a different trim level. usually associated with things like turbos, digidashes, sunroofs, FT4WD.......but not necessarily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critical_max Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Short answer: it depends on the engine and transmission. suspension may be air suspension on the GL-10. interior trim and such is fancier on the GL-10, digital dash etc.. apart from that it's a perfect parts car.
