Hi all,
I have read over the forums and have a bit of time this weekend to stop by the wreckers. I have decided on a lexus v8 which at most would put out 400hp. Due to lower hp and torque i figured the UN1 from R25 and 016 From Audi 100 are about the best buys from Australia pick-a-parts.
I cant seem to find the un1 vs 016 thread so ill repost a few questions here. Living in Australia i know the un1 is found in the Renault r25 and 016 in the Audi 100, is there any other commonly found models these appear in? I have been told they hold about the same power and both are becoming obsolete as far as spares so its not crucial as to which i pick?
Which is cheapest to mate to the Lexus? i don't mind having an adaptor cut out of steel but im not keen on the very expensive new bell housings etc
I was directed to these pics which show a UN1 being used as a stress point and supporting most of the rear suspension. I love the look of this design and as someone has already proved it possible with a UN1 it does swing me towards this box.

However how common are the Renault 25's in wrecking yards?
Any other pro's and con's would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
