Still tempted myself with my 5 door - although would need to make sure the chassis is ok first, and all the drivetrain etc are ok. :)

If I recall correctly although the 3 door is constant 4wd etc it's actually slightly lighter than an mr2 (especially a t-bar) and yes the gearing is closer since it's designed for the 3s-fe engine (not as high revving). I think the 3vz engine is similar is characteristics to the 3s-fe so the stock rav gearbox is more suited to get the most out of it in the rav. Just my humble opinion though... :)Originally Posted by gavsdavs
...Though not a Toyota...Ive always liked the idea, of a toy v6, in a Suzuki Jimny ? :)

So, Rav6 update time, this is back in my ownership, long story but short version is the buyer never came for it so it has been in storage all these years, so with a deal done i'm going to put this on the road this winter for shits and giggles.
She is going to need a fair bit of recommissioning work but i remember how stupidly fun this thing was <flicks hair>... it'll be worth it!
So if you get overtaken by a Rav4 going uphill towing a trailer full of fridges in your Murcielago.... that'll be me.
Was this the SWB version Paul?

Always wondered what happened to this. I recall you saying that the buyer had gone to ground.

Yep SWB.
Yes SWB model, ridiculous fun, faster than a Mk2 with the same engine.
Pics!
Only pics i have right now are in this thread, just pics of the engine in the bay, i'll grab some as it goes.
