So, been busy for a while but I figured I should at least share this........ That's right, now mot'd, taxed and street legal. Some annoying jobs to sort, not the least of which will be retrieving the dead fuel pump from the tank, but on the road and scaring the ever loving p&ss out of me and everyone else that gets in my way. The engine is a 3.5l V6 from a 2007 Rav4, imported from the USA. Same engine that goes in the Lexus 450 and of course, the Lotus Elise. Makes about 325bhp with custom headers and a few other subtle mods.

From where I'm sitting (in Detroit) that sure seems like one hell of a powerful little beastie! I bet sitting in the driver seat, it's even better. Have fun under the car with that fuel tank, those are great, eh? Get it over to Santa pod. I bet it runs in the 12's. Now that's a serious hotrod.
So cool that you have it road legal now.

sleeper looking vehicle. Supercharged? Nope, there's options available to add an SC, but to be honest it would make the car undriveable. It's borderline as it is. :-0
