yeah their pretty common on the 4wd drive, but only sold in moutianus, and snow areas. [read: not florida]

IMO you prolly better off finding a manual base instead of converting.

a sr5 4runner would be a sweet set up

damn, you should be a mod for honda tech.

honda automatic tranny's dont hold power for shit, they are very weak. i've never seen a high horsepower honda with an automatic. i converted my accord from auto to standard when i put in the H22 motor. i do agree that you should just buy a standard and sell the auto, because doing this conversion sucked, and will end up costing more money than just getting a new car, unless you have the hookup on parts.

^He's right about Honda trannies, but Toyota makes a very stout auto.

I'd suggest just trading your rav4 for another one with manual, save a lot of time, and money.

Well they actually came with S engines, so I dont see why an MR2 or Celica transmission with a (3S or 5S) engine wouldnt work...even a Camry tranny should. Normally, being the resident Toyota fool, I'd say "oh just look for W120" but I honestly dont know what transmission it uses because I dont like anything wrong wheel drive and I tend to stay away from transverse engines.

If its not a T50, R154, W58, V160, or A340E, I wouldnt know

In case you guys didn't catch it, he's not looking to lower his ET's, he's looking for a project. Don't turn your daily into a project! Get another junker car for that.

i actualy met a guy at a teg meet in orlando. he is on here but i don't remember his name. he has a dc teg, turbo with an automatic. Before that he was spraying, i think he said 100 shot with no problems. now he is boosted and still hasnt had a problem. now im not saying they are strong by any means, its just the fist honda i have seen with decent power and auto. i thought it was pretty cool.
