Just a dumb question, can you swap in AWD in the 89-91 colts/mirage hatches?

Anyone know if any of those early 90s Hyundais are like the colts and mirages? (IE a 93 Elantra)?

I've seen Elantra 4G63 swaps, not sure how much harder it is than in a Colt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84fZwTzsVW4

And yes, you can AWD swap the 89-91 Colts. There is an AWD specific forum on 4g61t.org you can check out.

Yes you can it is a very easy swap to do. All depends on what skill you have and tools to do it

When I had my stock 89 colt I dreamed of 4g63t awd fun. The swap is well documented on 4g61t.org.


As for the hyundais, I think it's the early 90's elantra's that share a lot in common with the colt/mirage platform.

It is my dream to swap into a hyundai excel, i had one before my brother destroyed it, maybe one day I will build one for the hell of it and to do sweet burnouts.

I have a want for a new project, some kind of 4G63 sleeper kind of car. So an early hyundai, 93+ dodge colt or mirage, or an old 88-91 colt hatch. I'd prefer 4 door, I'd prefer not have to hack up too much to do an AWD swap, but my friends and I are more than capable of pretty much any fab work. Anyone have any good ideas on a platform?

Just build yourself a nice gt35r powered colt and leave everyone saying... "WTF!" I would love to have myself a fast colt, just the sleeper aspect is awesome.

There is a lot you can do with a limited slip and sticky tires. I don't think they need to be AWD. The added weight kind of makes the platform pointless, since they aren't terribly light to start with. My stock GT was something like 2560lb with a quarter tank of gas and no spare tire or tools.

Could a Colt with 550whp hook better with AWD or FWD?
