    Love it! Thanks for putting in the work on these videos, it was great filming with you. The race turned out as expected haha😂. It’s interesting seeing both cars squat and sway as they go!

    Definitely need stiffer suspension for the extra power, but I love it!

    I'm looking at 98 Rav 4, AWD automatic with less than 50k miles, asking $9,000 - great condition with some speed sensor engine code errors.
    Maybe I've watched too much Scotty Kilmer, but he's AWD for the maintenance issues/extra weight/less MPG. Any thoughts? Love your videos!

      The automatic are easy to find parts for however the manuals I've heard handled 550hp without issues

    Hey brother, I just bought a 1998 RAV4 all wheel drive and the front subframe is severely rusted and I would like to change it but cannot find very much information on it. Could you do a video on this or point me toward some information? Thank you and I love your videos

    • @LabCoatPaul
      @LabCoatPaul  Рік тому +1

      Rust is a horrible thing. Watch my suspension video here: ua-cam.com/video/c1gi9hoCpEI/v-deo.html
      If the frame has holes, there are 2 options: replace the car, or try to weld in some new metal. Either way, you're in for a lot of work.

    Off the line it looks almost dead even. More hp model definitely needs help sticking at the start then it would be no contest.

    What if the 2dr get the 3SGTE??? Lighter + extra power = fast CUV? Up the power to 300hp it could be a faster car with light body.

    • @LabCoatPaul
      @LabCoatPaul  2 роки тому +1

      The 2 door RAV4 is a little lighter than the 4 door, but with the short wheelbase and the lift kit, it's unstable at high speed. It's scary to drive the car over 70mph. Faster acceleration would be fun, but having a higher top speed would be pointless.

      My 3sgte doesn’t hit boost until 2800rpm so even launching at 4600 in this video bogs below boost for a second.

      Too much grip not enough power, they're just gnashing their gears and clutches for nothing. It's safer for the driver and the car to do a drag from a 50 roll. If either of these guys (specifically the gte owner) keep driving like that they're gonna have to deal with replacing the clutch and head gasket.

      @@tophatvideosinc.5858 not sure where you’re getting headgasket from launches, it ain’t no Subaru. It’s already got arp head studs and a new mls gasket set. Also yeah I’m kinda trying to find a reason to turn the engine 90 and run it rwd with a beefier trans.

    Y'all gotta do a roll race.
    From a dig, all you're managing to do is ruin the clutch and gears. These cars aren't meant for that kind of abuse, it's too much grip and not enough power. Even when swapped.

      You realize they share most drivetrain components with the gt-four, they aren’t as fragile as people think they are. Handling the gte fine with almost 300k on Drivetrain. Not like I launch the thing daily either, was for the entertainment of UA-cam.
