I was thinking about this last night. The 5sfe came in a bunch of cars and I've seen 3sgte swaps in all of them except the Rav4. So, I did a little research today and came up with this.

I think this has great possabilities. I'd like to be the first state side to do this.

EDIT: There's a video on page 2, you can hear this thing spin all 4 tires jumping from 2-3 gear.

Are you sure no-one stateside has swapped a 3S-GTE into a RAV4? I thought I'd seen a couple stateside RAV4s with 3S-GTEs.

Actually, I'm not sure at all. I need to research it more. I've never seen it, or even heard of it being done. I'm not thinking it such a great idea anymore. Rav4's are too high up and short. It'd be hard to make it a road/street racing car because of it's hight and lack of proper suspension set up. And hard to offroad because of the shortness of it. I don't know though.

I think they're really neat, but that's way to high. Unless there's a big difference in the currency.
