Don't go flamin' me dude, not appreciated. I did say it was MY OPINION, and I'm entitled to it, as you're entitled to yours. Before you go dissin' me about my 'attitude' and telling me to pull my head in, just a few facts for ya to think about... I've done nothing but research this project for over 2 years now... from the ground upwards I've tried to cover just about every facet of what it takes to make a project vehicle like the one I'm trying to do. I suppose you haven't seen my thread in the Member's cars in NSW yet have you? Take a look. It details the progress I've been making from when I first bought it back in October 2001. "Do your research..." Take some of your own medicine and read about my thread first before you go hanging shit on me. Legalities for this vehicle have been dealt with by the book so far. It's been hard enough trying to get my ride fixed under warranty when something goes wrong with it (like a 5th gear problem I had earlier). Toyota wanted to follow it's little paper-trail and make sure my ride wasn't "too low" before it got it's warranty-repair done. Take a look around you on the streets. Out of 10 modified cars (ANY modified cars, not just Toyota's), I could pick maybe 7 or 8 that are illegal in SOME way. Most of the time when the RTA and the cops pick up on the illegality it's because the dickhead behind the wheel either doesn't have a licence and doesn't know how to drive, or more likely that the driver is in the 'race ya mates' attitude, drops the hammer and a cop is 2 cars behind. Busted. It's only then they find out that part of the car is illegal, when they do a closer inspection of it. Hell, what's a RAV4 to them? Most people haven't even SEEN a modded RAV4 before. I'm no hoon and I don't go driving like a dickhead either - there's a time and a place for that, and it's off the police-patrolled roads and/or on the track or Œ-mile instead. Maybe you should give these guys (the people wanting to put this front-cut into the RAV4) a little more credit. Would they go along and purposely put in an engine that they knew was going to be illegal because it's older than the car? Let's find out a bit more about the conversion first and I'll get back to you all tomorrow. [Report message to a moderator]
