Sure!

Just called the vendor. If we get 10 people they're willing to do $499 each!!

That includes:
1. Transmission rotation kit - mounts and adapters
2. Driveline
3. Replacement solid rear beam
4. Hub conversions (all 4)
5. COMPLIMENTARY "Unicorn Racing" stickers!

Who's in??

George, did you forget to take your meds again?

You know very well these kits exist...Plug and Play and your car will only be down for a day.

I would consider getting on the list but I have concerns that this might not fit my Lexus without some sort of adapter kit.

BlehmCo did one back in the day using a Z32 rear subframe and suspension, but I never went to market with it because people couldn't even figure out how to install a pair of brake brackets without a dozen pictures and 4 late-night phone calls.
