ABOUT PAPADAKIS RACING:
The Papadakis Racing team began drifting in 2004 and is the most winning team in Formula Drift history, earning the 2015 & 2021 titles with driver Fredric Aasbo, as well as back to back championship titles with driver Tanner Foust in 2007 and 2008. The Rockstar Energy Drink / Nitto Tire Toyota GR Supra is the latest competition build from the Carson, California, based team.
Team owner Stephan Papadakis is a legend of sport compact racing who began building his reputation in the 1990s with the first front-wheel drive, tube-chassis drag car in the U.S. The team earned multiple records and championships in the discipline, turning in elapsed times and trap speeds previously thought unattainable in front-drive drag cars. Papadakis' successes in front-wheel drive were matched by his efforts in rear-wheel drive when he campaigned a Honda Civic that became just the fifth car to join the NHRA's Sport Compact 200 MPH club
When Papadakis post a videos you just sit down, watch and learn, even if it's about a little RAV4! 😎
even with portable sink that he posted couple months ago
You're absolutely right! Very few channels are like that IMO, and I barely even work on cars..!
YUP
Funny thing is , even though it's just a little RAV4 , it has more headroom than most full size pickups .
He's not messing around!
Stephan is a wealth of knowledge on anything with 4 wheels, he’s a walking encyclopedia.
He's THE Legend :)
Man, I learned more about suspension tuning and such today than I have ever before! Thanks!
I saw the 3SGTE on the stand and thought this will be the wildest suspension install I've ever seen!
You should watch project binky then
@@freditarenomm7987 Thanks, that looks fun!
That looks like it’s out of a caldina or celica
@@v8_sami ST246 Caldina
Ex Gen 1 owner, the 3SGTE was the ultimate upgrade that most owners really wanted. I want to buy my old car back badly
This is so much cooler to watch than all the super expensive pro builds out on the web.
Well this is pro build. Tell me how many people can fabricate mounts for shocks?
Indeed
@@dkdanis1340 well yes, but its not some sorta high zoot ground up buggy build, or even the trendy Tacoma...its an old Rav4!
@@dkdanis1340 still not out of the reach of a decent home setup. That’s about as basic as fabrication gets and could be done pretty easily with an angle grinder, welder, cardboard to make templates etc. May not be as pretty but could certainly be done.
@@benyvonnemckenzie6576 also they used high end bypass shocks. But yeah it can be done.
I'd love to work with someone like that to learn more, no bs straight to the point and knows it's thing
The best combination of engineering and fabrication I've seen on UA-cam!
It’s not that I don’t doubt you but have you watched the project binky build from Bad Obsession Motorsport? If you love engineering and fab I urge you to watch it.
@@gtrjudd86 that's a fair point!
Your videos are gold. I learn something everytime. Love the detail of enforcing the bottom end of the strut to prevent failure at the single sided shearing. I can't wait for more horsepower.
The sheer amount of knowledge shared per minute is something else
I love this RAV4 build. Part 3, please!
more pleasee

9:22 wooooow! Is that the mighty 3sgte engine? 😱🤩🤩🤩😍
I had one of these when I was in high school. My mom’s old car. I wish I could go back and realize how cool it was. It wasn’t until years later that I learned about the Celica underpinnings.
Great explainer about suspension theory. I love seeing a professional race team using their skills to build a fun regular car.
You have no idea how much i love this project. This exact model is my homies first and current car, and it's just such a fun little devil.
Glad to see someone is doing something with a rav4. Personally I think the 90’s rav 4s have aged very well. That turbo motor is going to make it a sick little off road racer.
You’re the only one I can pay attention for almost 11 minutes talking about a RAV4
Anyone who builds an obscure vehicle into a potential racing machine got my subscription! Lets get insane with this machine. I hope it spirals out of control and gets independend long travel suspension custom made by you!
This shows how much you can learn from a simple build. I always wanted to build a manual rav buggy with a 3gste.
Everyone's talking about the educational content, and I agree, but also want to point out that the faded purple/blue color with the satin gold finish on the rims is 👌
The Caldina engine at the end put a smile on my face. Can’t wait to see the progression of this build! #3Spower
Please make more content. These are so informative and cool to watch.
Been in the business 30+ years and always learn something here, so awesome!
Seems like Stephan educated more than just me, such a fantastic visual explanation of suspension travel. Thank you Stephan for the great content love this little build 👍😃
So glad this video exists, I learned quite a bit about suspension in this one! I went out and experienced local SCCA rallycross for the first time, even took my stock 07 Corolla out for a few laps and fell in love! I need to get an AWD car for a move north soon, and I've been eyeing up old first gen CR-Vs. My thought now is the initial plan of the RAV4 build: something reliable (in my case, a daily) that I can take rallycross racing on the weekends!
From what I observed and experienced, it seems the best way to do this would be entering the prepped class with something that has a little more work put into survivability! With small rallycross courses, it seems suspension and control might be more of an advantage for a power-limited vehicle, so I've been trying to figure out the best way to set up more capable suspension from stock mounting points and without altering the body panels (per the rules and also not wanting to hack up a daily too much).
Super fun video, definitely gave me a lot to think about! I'm glad there are experienced guys like you out there willing to play around with low-buck projects and share that knowledge with something anybody can obtain on a budget!
Please post more of the RAV4 build! I have learned so much about building it and would love to hear more about the build!
I have a 98 Rav4 2door - it was really neat to see how somebody else worked on theirs. I lifted my with the old man emu lift kit. I have the same rubbing problem with my 235's on...I need to do that mod...but no money.
Lisa Kubo is calling. She wants you to come out and play. Nostalgia drag racing!!!!
Loving this series. I'd love to see how this thing performs with lockers, even limited slip differentials.
My first car was a 99 Rav4 so this build is hitting that nostalgia.
I wish I could just follow you around all day and have you narrate your activities
ive been wanting a two door gen1 rav4 like this for years. they are so cool
when that body style was out i thought it was hideous but now i actual like the idea of building one of these and can vision the outcome looking really dope
I always enjoy how easily and thoroughly you explain everything you're doing, and without any kind of macho bs or anything. A real font of knowledge.
Steph is having fun, good to see him catch a break and do some fun stuff. Dudes always working hard.
Im not surprised that this build spiral when looking at what you do for business... Really intresting!
love the build. you opened my eyes with those universal inverted shocks. I mean I knew some aftermarket bilsteins are inverted, but did not know there is this option building own ones. thanks!
I can't wait to do this on my 97 rav4 door... this one video answered so many of my question
Suspension bound, rebound explained to where it is easier to understand. Thank you!
I have a 2 door rav 4 and love seeing this!
So good, best videos out there. Thank you.
I wanna build my 2001 rav4 to be more off road. I just don’t know much about working on cars. Learning from your vids sure does help
Thanks for teaching us so much.
As a 22yo mechanical engineer, I really look up to you!
I like that your first approach to more speed was handling parts like suspension and tires. Everyone wants to add more power immediately without having the base covered. People underestimate how much improvement can be made through handling parts.
WOW, 107,090+ views, that tell you something. Thanks, Papadakis Racing, for doing one for us, the little guys.
This Rav4 is already the coolest truck I have ever seen, and now he is adding some horsepower!
I love that you are doing this to an old rav4
More please . Rally is the way to go man . Rally racing is wild
BRING BACK THE RAV 4 BUILD
The last report Steph was still digging those wheels out
I'm in love with this little rav4 best series on yt atm..
This is fantastic, especially the little rav4! It looks like a rc car
Always doing the best job explaining even the most technical things in a manner that's entertaining and able to be understood by just about anyone.
Really cool build, I have a 97 4-door, thanks for the inspiration!
Eeewww 😯 I like that universal strut kit! Also love how you took an econo SUV and pretty much made it a ralley machine 🤘🏼 the imagination is running wild now, HA
I’ve never duned before, looks like a blast. But I own the same model and year for almost 6 months. Most fun car to zip around town, run errands and find all the good parking spots.
I’m imagining a retractable/inflatable pontoons on the sides, maybe hidden in the oem nerf bars. Could inflate, lift you out of the sand, drive off and use the vacuum from the engine to retract. Hmmm
Ever since I saw primedriven's 3sgte swapped rav4 ive wanted one. I love the visuals while explaining suspension. Really helped me truly understand what's going on
I have that gen of RAV4 but 4door
200k miles and it is running strong
Videos are awsome
I love this man’s content. So many car channels do full builds or upgrade videos where they try and upgrade everything about a car in one or two video which is great but doesn’t have much value as a viewer other than entertainment. With the Papadakis videos you learn so much and appreciate the time and effort that goes into perfecting things like suspension.
It seems silly but these kinds of video rekindle my love for cars
One of my favorite projects on UA-cam currently. I like the make what you have work idea. It makes for a unique builds instead of the cookie cutter (insert vehicle) builds.
He's gonna put a 2J in there, isn't he.
The engine shown in the end was an 3sgte 4gen engine
@@lukasjuskevicius7790 just as good option 😁
@@lukasjuskevicius7790 a 4 cilinder 2jz
@@lukasjuskevicius7790 Actually it is a Gen5 3SGTE. The Gen4 has the side feed intake manifold...the Gen5 has the middle feed intake manifold, which you can see in the video if you look closely enough.
YES! More Rav4 videos please!
Papadakis turboing a Baja rav 4 is what dreams are made of
This is what a true car guy does when he gets this much knowledge and money
Duuuuuuuuude! Thank you for the Bilstein link. I found that before and forgot to bookmark it. I've been looking for that forever.
This series is awesome I love that you did a Rav 4
Drooling on that motor the whole time.
That 3SGTE just sitting there is such a tease
That RAV is gunna be a bloody weapon!
That's a 3S-GTE on the engine stand, yeah this is going to be awesome.
I'm thoroughly convinced these guys could take any kind of car and make it bad@ss
Seeing that 3s gte gets me excited for the next episode.
I hope to see more of the rav4
I hope too
This is sick. Takin notes for when i turn my 4runner into a dune hopper
This will be the greatest RAV4 ever built.
The little RAV4 that says I think I can I think can and it does it.
I need a Rav 4 built like this in my life hahaha. I have something close but not a cute Rav 4. Thanks for this series.
Hey I have a similar RAV4 3sge swap . Real fun car to drive. Am very happy Papadakis feature this car cause a great guy.
Glad to see the 3sgte! But would of gone for the gen 4 over the gen 5, much better intake manifold and no need to deal with the key coding, remember 5s block if your going to do a build over 450whp !! Blocking filling too to max it out at 850whp+/- rod to stroke ratio dependant
I think they went with the Gen5 since they're cheaper than the 4 by about $6-800. Gees these engines have gone up significantly, used to be had for $900 not too long ago. Will be great to see how this project comes together.
Hungry valley is awesome and they have one hell of a whoop section.
I wish I had a group like Papadakis Racing to help with the setup on my car. It sucks being on a fixed income from the VA.
Yes, Stephan we want to see more!
love this rally rav4!!
Sweet !!! I'm so sad I sold my 1997 2 door Rav4 to my buddy, now I need to find another one , so much great information and learnings
Hi Stephan, not sure you’ll see this. I just want to say I am such a huge believer in your knowledge and know how. I remember when you switched from drag racing into drift I thought “yeah right, whatever he’s just hopping onto the next fad”. I just want to admit that I may have been a detractor or “hater” before but I am so glad you have this channel to share this practical and useful information. Keep up the awesome work sir!👍👍👍
I would pay good money to see Papadakis videos more often. Best channel on UA-cam, hands down.
This build makes me happy. I love watching this little mom-mobile rip it over woops and dunes!
Please posting more videos !!!!! 🙏 I’m sure that many people are waiting your videos, because they are super good and we learn a lot ! Even if we are not professional like you ! Greetings from Bulgaria 🇧🇬
The fact that you just put out such information dense videos that entertain as well is so appreciated. I love learning from these videos.
I have a funny feeling that the price of used Rav 4's is about to go up to insane levels! I love it!
I have been a fan since the AEM ek hatch days. Keep up the great work
So stoked you’re posting again. Hopefully you start posting consistently. Great video!
My only complaint is the video was too short. I need more.
Never thought I would say this, but, I want a fav 4!
I'm buzzing for this series. Even if the videos were longer.
What an absolutely adorable car omg
Never thought a Rav4 could ever be this cool
thank you legend. better explained with actual replays, easier to understand 😎
never have i clicked on a Rav4 video!
This is so educational. Good job. The next level would be to maybe freeze frame some parts and use graphics to run the point home.
I’ve been a Toyota 4x4 guy for 20 years and a Toyota guy for longer than that and I never even considered the RAV4 for stuff like this.
Also, the description of rebound and compression is some of the best I have seen in a car/truck video. My background in mountain biking has taught my a lot of this but never in such a succinct way.
