has it been done to a 91 FWD? I did a search but only found info on a 2g AWD swap but nothing on a 1g.

not even sure if it would be worth it on a 1g, but I told a guy I would do some searching for him.

he has both just want's to turn his FWD into an AWD since it runs better, I thought I read some where that all the mounting point were there ( on the FWD ) so it was a bolt on mod for the most part, but can't find anything on it.

that wouldn't happen the FWD is much nicer than the AWD,

If I remember right, RRE's done it and they stated they would never do it again.

The FWD to AWD in a 1G would be a major PITA since you have to relocate the gas tank, cut out the spare tire holder, and do much much more fabricating.
The FWD to AWD in a 2G however, is not all that hard. Basically, you need an AWD donor car and some other minor parts. It's only a minor PITA. There is also a guy on www.dsmtuners.com that has done an AWD swap into a Spyder but that's a whole new level of fabrication since the rear suspension is totally different than the regular FWD coupe cars. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"

The 1g's are defnately NOT a bolt in swap to convert to AWD. Chassis are totally different. If he's serious, tell him to buy a nice welder, a torch, and a nice AWD car... once he figures out how hard it is, he'll have the AWD ready to go...
