Andrew's 1999 RAV4/GT-Four Hybrid ... (up for sale).	Wed, 15 May 2002 14:15

Hi all, I bought this RAV4 back in October '01 and have wanted to make her a show-car ever since. Here's an insight into what my plans are for my toy... YEAR/MAKE/MODEL 1999 Toyota RAV4 SXA-11R (5-door) ENGINE Imported Jap-spec Generation III 3S-GTE (built May 1995), fully rebuilt with ARP bolts and studs throughout, Arias forged pistons and rings (40k" O/S), head re-worked (crack welded up), Eagle forged H-beam rods, decked & re-honed block, linished crank, organic clutch (Western clutches), balanced flywheel. Engine painted Lightning Blue. All block-work done by Dominator Engines. TURBO Stock CT20b from ST205 3S-GTE rebuilt with 56mm steel-wheel compressor trim, hi-flowed CT26 body, bearings, housing and turbine sit in the CT20b ploished cover. ENGINE ACCESSORIES Custom 3" Cold Air Intake (built by Performance Metalcraft), K&N pod filter, 3S-GTE "Blitz Access" modified ECU (altered fuel and distributor curves); rocker cover, thermostat housing and turbo compressor cover all linished/polished by Ultimate Shine in Liverpool. Top-mount intercooler custom painted Royal Plum pearl, custom RAV4/GT-Four badging. TRD 71°C thermostat, 6mm leads, Iriway-8 iridium plugs. Stock thermo fan replaced for 11" unit (or the turbo would hit it). Bonnet struts soon to be fitted. POWER OUTPUT 140.1kw at all four wheels, screaming along at 7250RPM in 3rd gear @ 158km/h, reading taken on July 3rd 2005 (Dyno Day 11, Top 4WD) on the dyno at Silverwater Auto Services. Needs more tuning, perhaps bigger injectors and N/A cams. DRIVELINE ST205 gearbox painted Lightning Blue, TRD Quickshifter, Grp-A ST185 diff (4.285:1 final drive ratio). ST205 front driveshafts, ST185 driveshafts on the rear.

BODYWORK EL model Ford XR-6 bonnet vents, Nissan 200 SX triple-rib front vent, RAV4 (SSV) rear spoiler, as well as brake calipers, wiper-arms and wing mirrors and mounts all painted in Royal Plum pearl. Factory option over-fender flares fitted all round. Opposite Lock kit-out including 2.5" dia. TJM T-16 grille guard, 2 x 170-series LightForce spotties and 2 x Ion-coated foggies (with 10mm custom aluminium tabs TIG-welded to the bar for the foggies), Kingsley side-steps and stainless spare wheel cover (sold). Blue urethane mudflaps custom cut and fitted to all guards. FUEL LINE Internal: Walbro 255L/hour pump from Celica GT-Four; External: Bosch 500hp in-line fuel pump. UNDERCARRIAGE Purple under-car neon kit under the side-steps, with missile-switch activator. ROLLING STOCK ANZ chrome Matrix rims (17" x 7.5", +38 offset) with Bridgestone H/P D680 Dueler (255/50R17) rubber all-round.
