rwd...yes another thread, new option? Options

[playr158]

Ok, so i'm the crazy mod whore. I like things that waste money and are more than unfeasible.

practical discussion:

for a RWD setup. who has experience with IS300s.
I have been thinking that their rear end might jus work.
$250 for a cross memeber
$300 for a diff
$100 for a drive shaft
then you need control arms, ect. but you get a rear end brand new for lets say under a grand including everything
size/dimensions/shape issues?

they have the toyota typical 3-point strut hats so they potentially up top could slide right in (as if that was a major obstacle )

discuss...

what engine would you use?

black top beams


Isnt the wheelbase on the IS300 longer then the Celica, the drive shaft will be to long?

honestly, i think the TRUE way to go about RWD, is st205 rear end, and some how, disable the FWD on the AWD tranny. (...idk how to do it, or if its possible, but IS300 parts sounds like a dangerous path)

you can't just disable part of a transmission. and I don't think the ST205 rear end can withstand the full force of a motor (i think its roughly 60% from the factory?)

custom drive shafts are cheap too
