Dont think I haven't been thinking awd! I just need to find out if I can bolt a 2zr/1nz to an old rav4 transmission. The rest can be cut and welded to make work.

You know there actually is an AWD Yaris but i think most of them were probably sold as snow cars in the mountains of Japan and maybe a few made it to the US. I have never seen one in the UK. I think they were actually a permanent AWD system too a little different from the RAV4. Your project sounds very interesting though. Project Binky eat your heart out!

Also, I believe they were only available with the 1.3L engines, so not sure if they could handle much torque!

I was under the impression all the awd yari were automatics... f that. Also I believe the awd versions were based off the echo chassis. 1st gen. I need/want 2nd gen goodness
