Forgot to add, I made a distribution block for the oil pressure gauge I added. I ordered a peice of brass stock, drilled and tapped the holes as there was no fitting on the market that suited my needs.
This was the inital test fit, everything clears and works out perfectly!
So I have really been using the hell out of this Rav, its great for getting Supra parts!
This was one load from a friends place!
And all of this was a load from a craigs list add, the guy parted out three or four Supra and had a barn full of parts literally!
I did take a few phone photos of the carpet install.
So after I got all the wiring done I took it for a drive, and ohh how I missed it!
The seat came back out and I began the long process of fitting the carpet. It took about three evenings after work and a morning on the weekend to get it...
So I got the interior back together, the carpet was a pain but went in ok. I drove it to the car wash, at 150ft away at a traffic light smoke started to pour of of the cowl and every side of the hood... I pulled into the wash bay popped the hood open to find coolant EVERYWHERE! So I dried up...
So, I got tired of the CB antenna on the roof. I looked around the back of the RAV and decided the best place was right above the tag. So I sketched up a design and ran with it. I'm very happy with the outcome. I picked up a 4' antenna, 9' cable, coupler, 12' cable, and 3/16"x1" steel stock to...
The RAV 4.1 guys do the 3SGTE swaps, and they are far and few between.
There was a factory turbo diesel option in Europe for the RAV 4.2. It gets 39 mpg................ Gas get 24...
Wasn’t there a build on here of a guy in Europe (Netherlands or Finland maybe) who made a carbon fiber intake, it had individual cf runners and a plenum. He also designed a twin turbo manifold that used 'sound waves' to help move the exhaust down and then back up to the turbos. If memory...
Here is his web site:

You can get all the swap parts there such as trans adapters and engine mounts. His stuff is great! I use his 1UZ adapter kit, and its worth the money in my opinion.
year- 1987
interior part #1 - window switch bezels (pre 89 for me)

exterior part#2 - Doors
I agree with rakkasan, how about some good photos of product you have made recently. Including shots of the...
That is the S2 car, very expensive Japanese parts. Shine makes replica front fenders. They also have rear fenders that can be paired with them.

Here is what I would like to see in twill:
Pre-89/ post 89 window switch plates/ bezels
Pre-89/ post 89 (for those with cruise control on the column) Steering console (the plastic panels that wrap around the key and the column "under" the wheel) with one or two gauge pods
Doors that will...
Be very careful, its WAY to easy to butcher one of these cars by doing a 350 engine swap. Here are my suggestions:
- Use Supra gauge sending units for the water temp and oil pressure - that way the factory gauge cluster wont go unused.
- Use a GM 1 wire alternator with an external regulator...
Yup, I got the kit second hand. Friend of mine happened upon them on Club Lexus, he sent me a link and I went for it. I had been planning on buying them new but didnt bite the bullet yet, but since this set had been test fitted and it came with fuel rails I knew it was a good deal.
I started to work on the carpet, sitting the factory one on top of the new one made me think there would be a lot extra on all sides. After I started fitting it to the car, I know the width is just about perfect. Some of the "humps" are not in the exact location, so I need to take a heat gun to...
I got some more work done, swapped all the parts from the old dash into the new one. Also got the gauges wired, then tested them. The boost/vac gauge isnt functioning for some reason. It turns on but does not read vac pressure correctly. I stuck it together enough to take it for a drive, ohh how...
