Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 As most of you know, I needed a new vehicle out of necessity so this won't impress the masses Had a look at 4 BMW X5s and was really not impressed with how they had aged, I did get my heart set on a Cayenne but Lee put me off... I decided to stay Japanese as they make the most reliable cars IMO.... Its not as Manly or Powerful as I wanted but it will do the job needed for the next 6 months or so, plus it is now the Tarmac Sportz delivery vehicle.... Good points, its full leather, its black, cheap to run and it has the style pack which is 'chrome bumper,side sills,boot sill and sunroof'. Bad points is, its only a 2.0l petrol and 0-60 is around 10 secs Good points, the little girl will be well happy and I won't have to keep borrowing cars plus I will be able to put some money away for a 2nd car next year.... im thinking Show Car ... As you can guess, no real plans to mod this except maybe some Tarmac Sportz livery, Blacked out windows and maybe an in car entertainment system... I might be tempted with new wheels at some point but not seen much choice What do you guys think... ? go easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 I'm open to modding suggestions but for some reason there doesn't seem to be much of a Rav4 modding scene in the UK/USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Could probably sling a Zed in the back as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRF4N Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Out of the "sensible" jeeps that's def one of the nicer ones, esp in black with the silver bits. Was looking forward to seeing a big v8 tho Tell more about the showcar then.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 well for starter is a TOYOTA, so reliable as hell and wont depreciate quickly. But I would get the windows tinted and maybe some nice 20" Black deep dish wheels, I think it has the same PCD as the 350z right, 5 x 114?

I reckon smaller ones with bigger tyres look better on 4x4s rather than low profiles. Yeah Irfan, been thinking something with a turbo, prolly something that's already had cash spent on it and just lightly customise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 quick - trade it in and get a CRV........much better.......I have one, so it must be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 The rav4 is a good little 4x4. Space in the back is ample and the boot is decent. Great family car. In my honest opinion it doesn't need mods. Leave the bling wheels on jeeps to rappers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
