Since it is getting close to winter and i havent had a chance to drive my car all summer due to the 3sgte swap, i was jsut wondering how the car handles in the snow? Especiallly since i will have all that added power that wasnt intended for this car in teh first place. I was planning on using hakkapeliittas snow tires btw.

thanks
bigal

Driven with both the 3S-GE and 3S-GTE now. The GTE behaves like the GE untill about 2500rpm. Driven the car (with GE) in winter with no problems. Just go easy on the rpms and shift before 2500-3000 rpm and you will be fine.
