Not terribly uncommon but I'm planning to just buy a Lexus LS460 as a donor, there's enough of them around here in Ireland thanks to the Celtic Tiger and nobody wants to pay the tax on them anymore so they're not expensive. I saw one sell recently for about €4000 for a fully functioning road legal car with not outrageous mileage.
Hopefully AWD and I'd like to keep the engine as stock as possible.
A stock 1UR with a good exhaust and intake should make about 400bhp though so I think that should do nicely! They make 388bhp in the LS460 and the exhaust is supposed to be extremely restrictive to keep it quiet and refined so it doesn't take much to open it up.
Ideally I want it to be super reliable and usable while still being able to move!
