So Ive been through a couple of cars since getting rid of my ae86. I dont think Ill ever find something Im happy with, but this is where Ive ended up.
I got a work ute, so I hadnt driven my previous daily driver (VW caddy) for a couple of weeks. This instantly said to me that I needed to buy a new car which Id actually want to drive.
I got rid of the caddy, and ended up buying this abomination off gumtree. I dont have any photos of when I first brought it home, but it wasnt too impressive. It hadnt been maintained well, things were loose, it was disgusting inside and Im still trying to figure out wtf is going on with the styling.
But either way, the engine and driveline are in decent condition and it makes a good basis for a decently quick sleeper. And more than likely a good transplant for the next car ill build after I get my garage built.
Basic specs;
1999 Toyota Rav4
Hektic wheels with huge tires (255/70/17)
gen3 3sgte
rebuilt with O/S forged pistons, lots of polished bits
st185 gt4 rear diff, st205 gearbox and front diff
power fc
3" exhaust with hektic x-force cannons
short shifter
kyb shocks, some lowered springs
working aircon and all that jazz
factory style flares
awful bonnet vents with custom tonneau cover
Basically I just want to neaten it up a bit to drive to the shops in, put a decent muffler on it, make it look stock and get it retuned for 15-20psi. Its only running 5-10psi and is way too rich. It has a dyno chart for around 150awkw, not sure what boost, but it should be a fun car to drive once the tune is sorted out.
