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...

why not stay away from 4 bangers and go with a VZ mr MZ v6 motors, better torque and you're able to twin turbo them. Also parts are cheaper on these, since they are available everywhere. I just finish my 3vz swap on customer mr2 and I have to say it's a whole new story. I'm already planning to take out my 3s and put a 3mz instead.

I don't know how you're going to fabricate to have the RWD tranny to fit in there, but good luck!
