any other rav4 peeps out there

okay i luv my rav, i tried to sell it years ago but had no luck, then i decided hell ill just keep it till the damn thing dies...then i thought... its toyo it will NEVER DIE. heh b/c toyo's engine last forever

so i did some reading up on it, realized all the stuff i could do to it to make it more liek the car it should be (not and suv) i'm a small chick suv's are too big, thats why i picked the rav4 back in 1997 b/c it is really a car with a bigger body...

anyway, has anyone else really gotten into these great cars? or am i liek one of the few that really care. I been workin on the car all summer, got dual exhaust tips on it, OBX-R cold air intake, NGK-R spark plugs, H&R 2" drop rally springs, 18" Focal race wheels with continental contisport 255/45/18R tires...

i'm doing an engine swap with a 3sGTE JDM engine, with 5 spd tranny, ECU and intercooler, tho i'll swap out the intercooler with a turbo supra's All this and i may get Hikaru (my cars name-meaning to shine, to glitter, to be bright in japanese) down to 13s in 1/4 mi.

I'm not the smartest toyota enthusiast, but i'm trying to be be a good owner and make this car perform and show to its fullest...

You sound like a helluva chick! I wish my girlfriend knew how to drop in an engine......I could really use a V-8 in my jeep!

Good luck on all the work.

I am a fellow RAV4 owner! I just picked up my 1997 RAV4 4WD a coupld of weeks ago. I am interested in how well the 3S-GTE swap is. That is a possible project for me as well. So far I am totally stock. I would definately like to improve on the power.
