id do the early hyundai. I have a 95 elantra and after looking fwd would be no problem awd Might be a little harder cause they have the solid rear axle but im sure you could fab something up for the independent rear suspension and stuff.

The early 90's colts have a suspension similar to 1g fwd dsm's.

thatd probably be better for an awd swap vs an early hyundai then
Could a Colt with 550whp hook better with AWD or FWD?
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??
I think I know the answer?
I'm just saying, its probably easier to make a 2500lb 1G AWD than a AWD CSM.
And I've seen a 600whp mirage with zero problems hooking up.

The only way to do a 4g csm 93-95 is to get a evo 1-3 rear end to make it awd. They are next to impossible to get. I have one of 2 compleat rear ends in mine that made it to the US.
The 3g's are a lot easer to do just need a 1g awd parts car

Hmmm. I'm kinda up in the air. Maybe I'll just gut my 1G and add a 2.4L?
I really like 6pucker's shell for sale on here...

I was thinking of a colt project awhile ago and joined 4g61t.org. Alot of good info on there and I read every AWD swap thread. The rear of the colts is very, very similar to a 1g awd. I don't see why people go crazy and say the 1g FWD's cannot be swapped. Anyway I say go for it! You know you want to ;)

They do that because if it came from the factory with an awd option, why not get that. The csm never came with awd state-side.
The 3g csm actually could be had in awd over-seas but they had a solid rear axle instead of the irs the 1g awd has.

But in my case I wouldn't wanna just sell off my clean 1g just to find another 1g but awd that wasn't as clean. Not saying there arent clean ones out there but once you put you're blood, sweat and tears into a car you tend to wanna hang onto it.

Oh no, I completely agree with you. The only way I'd get rid of my Laser is if I absolutely had to or it got totaled.
