RAV-GT4 Forums Junkie Toymods member I supported Toymods Location: Rydalmere, NSW Registered: May 2002	The RAV-GT4 BEAST is alive... Mon, 21 June 2004 13:22 Finally, after almost 6 months of prepping, sourcing, implementation & fitment, and nearly 3 of these months the RAV has been off the road; it breathes once more. Gone are the guts of an aging and well-served 3S-FE engine to be replaced by the beastly innards of a Jap-Spec GT-Four 3S-GTE, complete with the ST205 gearbox and ST185 LSD. For a while it didn't look like starting up, but an oscilloscope and some careful diagnosis fixed that up. Now it ROARS! One turn of the key and the adrenaline pumped with the familiar warm-up growl similar to that of a modified Rotary. Both exhaust tips pumped out equal pressure as the sound of the exhaust HAD to be around 90dB (and the rest...). Ok so it's not back on the road YET... but getting it started and just listening to that engine and the exhaust --- GIMME MORE! With a bit of luck, it should be road-bound again by mid-week or a little later. [Report message to a moderator]
