it is a noble idea. rav4 AWD platform w/ stage 3 turbo will be bad arss.

but, it's the farthest thing i've heard from practicality.

if you're gonna do this, do your homework first. if you don't even know where to start, you'll be in a world of pain.

it can be done..i mean look at the titan tc. but it requires A TON of work and customizing.
First the already side ways sitting engine would be no more u would have to turn the engine 90 degree. u would have get custom axles. custom exhaust or find some way to get the exhuast to fit. u might have to cut into the firewall inorder to get the engine to fit like a RWD cars and a bunch of other things. thats all just for starters.

If you try to make the tC RWD, remember to buy a F150 so you can get it off the highway when you blow it up.

The Titan "tC" is anything but a tC. It was built from the ground up to house a RWD transmission. Unless you want to customize the tC's chassis shape, then no, it can't be done like that.

But other than that, I agree 100%. Doing a RWD conversion, one would get sick of the word "custom."
