anyone else hate these threads? i don't wanna be harsh, but 99.9% of these fantasies never pan out.
and truthfully being a machanic for toyota after college, you prolly won't learn much than the average joe already knows. i kno like next to ____ bout cars, but when i went to the toyota service center it seemed like i knew more than a few of their workers there.
and btw its' not worth it.
if u want a awd import go for the wrx/evo/gsx
if u want a rwd go find a 240 or miata

it's not worth the time, money or effort... toyota mechanic or not.
i can get access to TIS fine.. and looking at it all... i'm saying you're better off spending the money elsewhere.

If you seriously have the time and money to do such a task I think that would be pretty awesome. But realize if you just want an awd vehicle, it would be a lot easier and probably better for you just to buy one of the above stated cars. If you just want a crazy project and you think you know enough about cars to do this without completely messing your ride up. More power to you. Who wouldn't want a awd or even a 4wd tc? You could probably turn this car into a sick machine if you wanted, but when you were done, it woudln't really be a tc anymore. It would be some kinda freakish monster.

I have alot of ideas, and maybe one day when the tc gets played out like the civic, i'll start this drastic tranformation ( supercharger would be needed ) Also is the rav4 4wd full time or part time or does it turn on automaticly? I noticed it has better fuel mileage then the tc
