if its lowered a bit, it would make a nice ice/rally car, just reduce the body roll, up the power, reduce the weight a bit and would do pretty good i'd think

face it, a rav4 isn't really a truck

It looks like it's being setup to be a serious race car so that roof scoop could very well be functional (if they are going to rally it) and there is nothing "ricer" about those seats in there. When did quality racing seats become a "rice mod"?

It doesn't look like a 3sgte but who knows. Turbo 2azfe maybe since that is what came in that model RAV4? I have never seen a 2azfe up close though so I can't tell you.

I'll let you guys druwl on it for a while. But i't's not mine. The source is from Belgium. It was put together for the Dakar Rally. I'll post some more pictures.

Por eso es mejor mirrar al resto del mundo y NO ignorar sus peticiones.

This is something in spanish so you guys can see what happen to me on this forum. I was very disapointed and frustrated.

Yeah, I knew it was a purpose built race car. Now that I keep looking at it, that very well could be a 3sgte.

What does watching the world and not ignoring them have to do with anything?

No Dude, it's a V8.

I posted a lot of questions regarding RAV4. I never got an answer. I guess it's an insignificant vehicle. I admire and respect everyone’s ride on this forum. It has some of the coolest rides on the www. But we must all help the big guys, and the little guys, like "use".
I had to login a new user name to see if I can get some attention to my questions. It doesn't matter what you got. A Supra, Celica, Land Cruiser. We are all Toyota enthusiastic. We are fighting the street, strip, on track and off track. Against Honda, Nissan, and Subaru. We all need help once in a while.

I don't remember anyone asking a bunch of questions about RAV 4's on here before and I am sure nobody was ignoring you. If you asked int he truck forum, it may just be because that place does not get much traffic. I know I have answered a couple RAV 4 questions in this forum.
