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...

how about mr2 tranny i've heard they put it in 3sgte swaps if that the engine your going to use

MR2 is layed out like a celica...in reverse.

what i mean is that the Mr2 has no rear diff. its very similar to a FWD car, because the motor is in the back.

So do that, then You could get a lot of luggage under the Celica bonnet if the engine wasn't there
