). Was quite a piss off anyhow. But I did have fun 4x4ing up some very steep treacherous pieces of road. I took a couple of pics which I will post here after developing and scanning them (film camera).Anyhow, I found that even with my summer high performance low profile tires on the car, it still had unbelievable 4wding ability. However, I found that even in EL 4wd mode, the rpms were really low (<2krpm) when crawling up steep hills, and I had to keep the throttle mashed to keep the car from stalling out. This was a little scary at times. In conclusion, if I expect to do much more of this sort of stuff, I really <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>need more torque!</span></span> Not sure if I will ever get around to doing anything about this problem though. I think the best solution is a 7AFE transplant, or a 7AC or 7AGE hybrid. I need at least half again as much torque in the low rpm range for 4wding. I've done lots of 4wding in Landcruisers and Ford/GM 4x4 pickups which have loads of low end torque and have never noticed power as a problem. The tercel is different however with it's tiny little engine. Too bad the new 3AC I installed is in such good condition. It seems a shame to replace it already.
. I will still be driving out to central Canada in late Aug early Sept. Maybe I'll do the extra drive out to Winterpeg and check out the 20v. 
I don't think the 20v would do good for 4wding, but it would sure make street driving fun.
