A Very Nippy Rav4

Check out this little baby!!!

Had a supercharger fitted apparently, don't think I've ever seen one move so fast!!! :jawdrop:

That has to be SOOOOOO much fun! Who cares if an RS4 has better economy. :lol:

What a beaut...though the supercharger makes the car sound like it has a transmission fault...the !Removed! are very lucky that they have all these bolt on goodies right on their doorsteps.

Thought it was a Radio Controlled car at first with the noise it makes!!! :lol:

Don't think I've ever seen a Rav corner so flatly either!! :P

After a few delays I should see my RAV going into the garage this week to get the 3SGTE turbo engine shoe-horned in place of the existing 3SFE. Having upgraded the shocks, I reckon I need to change the rear springs to a stiffer grade. The front brakes will get an upgrade to 6-pot calipers at the same time while the engines out. I've got 18" alloys reserved and will figure out which tyres to put on shortly replacing the TSW 16" alloys which have served well for some years. We intend using the clutch from the donor MR2 and will have to see how the rest of the drive-train reacts! have fitted Cobra seats which involve a different way of climbing in, especially with my rather large frame but up to now, once I'm sat in, (or should I say wedged in) then its quite comfortable.

Intend to take as many pics as poss to publish on my web site. Then maybe we can get the beast flying...!
