jumanja Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Hi everybody. I'm new in this site, but as far as i'm seeing, it's awesome. Next week i'll getting a 1600cc gft hardtop subaru, and i'm looking for further info because i founded gl,gf,dl info, but i can't find what gft means, or at least what model's specs i could use for it. It will be my first car too, i have no license yet either, i must to start to the lessons to learn to drive, but hey, i will have a subaru, and that is the important thing !!! Hope anyone could bring me a light to my path, because i wish to have the right specs ... Keep the good Job !!! jumanja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh contrare - there are more models out there than you know son. It's probably a dual carb 1600 or something. No on the turbo tho - those came later. Here's some examples from my archive: And these are in my collection: GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever Victorious Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I tend to agree with GD, it's a variant on what would be our DL or GLF hardtops of that year. For the most part, the car should conform to their specs. In the US, the 1600cc's were all manuals, so I'm guessing this one is too? So then the way to tell which one it is a variant of, I guess, would be first to check the dash to see if it looks like a DL's dash or a GL's. Then look under the hood at number of carbies to see if GD is right about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Dual carb - high compression (9.5:1) 1600. Pushing 77 HP. That's more than a stock US 1800.... only got 73 HP. Interesting. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GD Ok, so it's a gf dual carb ? the car's documents says 1980 model, but i think probably is, in fact something like : http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/80s/specs/general/1979gfcp.html ... and the exterior looks like : http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/80s/specs/general/1981glf.html I'm in Bogota, Colombia, and sometimes the models doesn't change, specially oldies models . Thanks a lot ... i will posting pics A.S.A.P. when, i have my subaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Pretty sure you'll find that it IS a 1980 as the GFT hard top I don't beleive existed as a Gen 1 body style. It will be the "EA81" gen 2 body style almost certainly. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
