ABOUT PAPADAKIS RACING:
The Papadakis Racing team began drifting in 2004 and is the most winning team in Formula Drift history, earning the 2015 & 2021 titles with driver Fredric Aasbo, as well as back to back championship titles with driver Tanner Foust in 2007 and 2008. The Rockstar Energy Drink / Nitto Tire Toyota GR Supra is the latest competition build from the Carson, California, based team.
Team owner Stephan Papadakis is a legend of sport compact racing who began building his reputation in the 1990s with the first front-wheel drive, tube-chassis drag car in the U.S. The team earned multiple records and championships in the discipline, turning in elapsed times and trap speeds previously thought unattainable in front-drive drag cars. Papadakis' successes in front-wheel drive were matched by his efforts in rear-wheel drive when he campaigned a Honda Civic that became just the fifth car to join the NHRA's Sport Compact 200 MPH club

When Papadakis post a videos you just sit down, watch and learn, even if it's about a little RAV4! 😎

You're absolutely right! Very few channels are like that IMO, and I barely even work on cars..!

Funny thing is , even though it's just a little RAV4 , it has more headroom than most full size pickups .

I saw the 3SGTE on the stand and thought this will be the wildest suspension install I've ever seen!

Ex Gen 1 owner, the 3SGTE was the ultimate upgrade that most owners really wanted. I want to buy my old car back badly
This is so much cooler to watch than all the super expensive pro builds out on the web.

@@dkdanis1340 still not out of the reach of a decent home setup. That’s about as basic as fabrication gets and could be done pretty easily with an angle grinder, welder, cardboard to make templates etc. May not be as pretty but could certainly be done.

Man, I learned more about suspension tuning and such today than I have ever before! Thanks!
I'd love to work with someone like that to learn more, no bs straight to the point and knows it's thing
The sheer amount of knowledge shared per minute is something else
The best combination of engineering and fabrication I've seen on KZread!

Your videos are gold. I learn something everytime. Love the detail of enforcing the bottom end of the strut to prevent failure at the single sided shearing. I can't wait for more horsepower.
You’re the only one I can pay attention for almost 11 minutes talking about a RAV4
I had one of these when I was in high school. My mom’s old car. I wish I could go back and realize how cool it was. It wasn’t until years later that I learned about the Celica underpinnings.
Great explainer about suspension theory. I love seeing a professional race team using their skills to build a fun regular car.
You have no idea how much i love this project. This exact model is my homies first and current car, and it's just such a fun little devil.
Anyone who builds an obscure vehicle into a potential racing machine got my subscription! Lets get insane with this machine. I hope it spirals out of control and gets independend long travel suspension custom made by you!
Glad to see someone is doing something with a rav4. Personally I think the 90’s rav 4s have aged very well. That turbo motor is going to make it a sick little off road racer.
Please make more content. These are so informative and cool to watch.
The Caldina engine at the end put a smile on my face. Can’t wait to see the progression of this build! #3Spower
Everyone's talking about the educational content, and I agree, but also want to point out that the faded purple/blue color with the satin gold finish on the rims is 👌
Love all your content! Thanks for sharing with us all!
Great editing! Easy to follow and understand! Top job!
This shows how much you can learn from a simple build. I always wanted to build a manual rav buggy with a 3gste.
Excellent suspension engineering and a good understanding of what’s happening. Nice job!
Love seeing the improvements being done progressively
Always doing the best job explaining even the most technical things in a manner that's entertaining and able to be understood by just about anyone.
BRING BACK THE RAV 4 BUILD
Lisa Kubo is calling. She wants you to come out and play. Nostalgia drag racing!!!!
So much knowledge and everything you touch turns to gold. Can't wait to see what's next.
The fact that you just put out such information dense videos that entertain as well is so appreciated. I love learning from these videos.
I always enjoy how easily and thoroughly you explain everything you're doing, and without any kind of macho bs or anything. A real font of knowledge.
Love the videos, can't wait for the next part! Your explainations are so nice and clear too
Loving this series. I'd love to see how this thing performs with lockers, even limited slip differentials.
Never thought a Rav4 could ever be this cool
Really enjoying this series, probably one of the most informative channels on youtube
Seems like Stephan educated more than just me, such a fantastic visual explanation of suspension travel. Thank you Stephan for the great content love this little build 👍😃
Papadakis turboing a Baja rav 4 is what dreams are made of
Steph is having fun, good to see him catch a break and do some fun stuff. Dudes always working hard.
Been in the business 30+ years and always learn something here, so awesome!
You can surprise me every time! Quality Content as usual!
Great video. In fact all the videos from this channel are great. Anyone trying to tune their suspension whether it be dirtbike, mtb, car or whatever should watch this video. Great explanation.
So good, best videos out there. Thank you.
Please post more of the RAV4 build! I have learned so much about building it and would love to hear more about the build!
Hell yeah. I love these videos, glad to see new content coming.
This build is so random and yet so amazing!
Thanks for teaching us so much. As a 22yo mechanical engineer, I really look up to you!
Been waiting for this episode!
I'm in love with this little rav4 best series on yt atm..
Pappadakis can make any car cool . Can't wait for the next video!!!
Looks like a fun little project. I have enjoyed both episodes!
This series is awesome I love that you did a Rav 4
This is what a true car guy does when he gets this much knowledge and money
So good! Love this little Rav.
What a cool build. Keep going with this build.
This is fantastic, especially the little rav4! It looks like a rc car
I love your channel so much, so intuitive and methodical with your design, build and test process!
One of my favorite projects on KZread currently. I like the make what you have work idea. It makes for a unique builds instead of the cookie cutter (insert vehicle) builds.
I'm all in for this series..Good stuff!
I wish I could just follow you around all day and have you narrate your activities
Just great videos overall. The narrative and video combos are just perfect.
Really cool build, I have a 97 4-door, thanks for the inspiration!
Really awesome video! I think your way of explaining concepts is very easy to understand. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Keen to see more
I have been a fan since the AEM ek hatch days. Keep up the great work
i love this build so much thank you
Wow. What a difference. Can’t wait to see more upgrades.
So good. Entertained, educated and motivated = what we get from your videos. Thank you.
Great video, please bring us more RAV4 content. It's fun, entertaining and great learning content.
love this rally rav4!!
YES! More Rav4 videos please!
Keep it coming. I learn so much from your videos!!!
Love this build series!
A build we did not see coming haha 3-door RAV4 is one of my dream cars!
A great looking vehicle. love to see part #3.
Oh god it's been your page I've been looking for wow thank you!!!
Please posting more videos !!!!! 🙏 I’m sure that many people are waiting your videos, because they are super good and we learn a lot ! Even if we are not professional like you ! Greetings from Bulgaria 🇧🇬
I love this man’s content. So many car channels do full builds or upgrade videos where they try and upgrade everything about a car in one or two video which is great but doesn’t have much value as a viewer other than entertainment. With the Papadakis videos you learn so much and appreciate the time and effort that goes into perfecting things like suspension. It seems silly but these kinds of video rekindle my love for cars
I love these videos, please please release them faster, and make then longer. The supra build was top notch also.
Your content is the best on youtube man!
Ever since I saw primedriven's 3sgte swapped rav4 ive wanted one. I love the visuals while explaining suspension. Really helped me truly understand what's going on
ive been wanting a two door gen1 rav4 like this for years. they are so cool
Loving this series
So stoked you’re posting again. Hopefully you start posting consistently. Great video!
I wanna build my 2001 rav4 to be more off road. I just don’t know much about working on cars. Learning from your vids sure does help
That 3SGTE just sitting there is such a tease
This Rav4 is already the coolest truck I have ever seen, and now he is adding some horsepower!
Love these videos. Great detail and explanations. Also love the fabrication 👍
Duuuuuuuuude! Thank you for the Bilstein link. I found that before and forgot to bookmark it. I've been looking for that forever.
Wow! Great explanation of bump and rebound. Looking forward to your engine upgrade now.
I have a 2 door rav 4 and love seeing this!
Eeewww 😯 I like that universal strut kit! Also love how you took an econo SUV and pretty much made it a ralley machine 🤘🏼 the imagination is running wild now, HA
thank you legend. better explained with actual replays, easier to understand 😎
I can't wait to do this on my 97 rav4 door... this one video answered so many of my question
love the build. you opened my eyes with those universal inverted shocks. I mean I knew some aftermarket bilsteins are inverted, but did not know there is this option building own ones. thanks!
This will be the greatest RAV4 ever built.
Hell yeah more, that thing is pure 90s cool 😎
Thank you for the amazing videos bro.Greetings from home🇬🇷
I love that you are doing this to an old rav4
Yes, Stephan we want to see more!
This was cool explanation. I watched you race when I was young, jg days and this is awesome.
great video, explained in great detail
