I know there's another RAV4 driver that also has started visiting these forums as well, and originally hails from the RAV4World.com forums. There's one mind that could be put to work, although there's 2 generations of RAV4's so far, and I'm not sure which one he drives. See, mostly my modifications so far have been 'cosmetic', and hardly any 'technical' or 'mechanical'. So basically you could say I'm running around in a bog-stock RAV4 that looks pretty and still goes faster than your average speeding bullock, only just. Only thing of real engine-bay value thus far, most people on the Dyno Day would have seen already... the Cold Air Intake. I know most of you would say 'big deal' to that, although the idea and the concept would be fascinating. Unless you want to 'pretty-up' a RAV4 with a lot of outside-value goodies, there's not that much that I could contribute to your site, that isn't already on my thread in the Member's Rides forum, which I'm sure you've already read through. Tell me, in that thread, is there anything on my vehicle so far, of all the modifications that have been accomplished, that no one would turn their nose up at? I know the general concensus of most Toyota modifiers so far, and that is "it looks great and now it sounds half-decent... but it's a RAV." It's that harsh reality that steps in because it doesn't have the heritage or respect that would be earned with other Toyota's like the Crown, Corolla, Supra or Celica... all synonymous with aftermarket mods in this arena. The RAV4 just doesn't qualify in these stakes - not yet... even though I'm driving around in one of the 10 most influencial cars of the last century (as quoted in an American magazine article). Instead of me putting forward my modifications on a RAV4, I'd invite other people to visit the http://rav4world.com/ forums and check out all the DIY's that can be done with our cars. I think a few of you would be more than fascinated by what some of the people from around the world have done with you 'average' RAV4. Let me know if you're still interested in my input for 'modifications' on your website. Cheers. [Report message to a moderator]
