December 22, 200817 yr So... my Justy officially has not enough torque. In wind drifted snow, the engine just slows down, and finally stalls, and it's really not good for the clutch to drop it at 3k to get out of drifts. Kind of like my friend's Legacy, actually, only a little worse. My old GL wagon didn't feel as powerful as the Justy on the road, but with the low range and the torquier EA engine, it would not stop as long as the wheels were touching the ground (once you high centered it.... that was a different matter ) I want low range on the Justy :-\ or... maybe it's an excuse to stick an EJ22 and the 5 speed dual range and the pugs on my '82 wagon sitting in my yard finally.
December 23, 200817 yr Go for the grippy act clutch for the justy and also get your cam reground by delta for a torque grind. That sould be a start. Or start by adding some really cool stickers cause they add 10hp each!

December 23, 200817 yr Author As one of my coworkers said today... what did you expect buying a car with a 1.2 liter rubber band engine ?? Stickers definitely help. I have some on my old Mazda/Ford Courier truck, and I got through a drift yesterday that my friend didn't even try in his FJ40 landcruiser. Or I had slightly better tires, and slightly worse judgement
