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...

im with jeff.

you could prolly get away with a 3s swap and is300 trans, but you might as well go for a more powerful starting engine. why not stick a v8 in there, and bui.d the trans/driveshaft/rear from a hot rod recipe.

if people can replicate a cobra for under 30k, why ouldnt you replicate at least the trans/rear end options for less than say 3k?

imagine how sick it would look like jeff said with the rear quarter panels widened out by like 4 inches, and a nice bump in the hood molded in that's raised by like 6 inches.

then down the road you can always sc that engine and be making weel over 600 hp for about the same as you could in getting the 3s to 400
