I tried search and didnt really come up with s olid answer to this. I'm thinking it should work fine, but let's hear some opinions....
Here's the deal, I have a 90 Laser RS Turbo. Car is in PERFECT shape. It's a great start, and I already had some nice mods. Timing belt went, and took out the engine..
I find a 91 Talon TSI with 75K on the clok, a brand new head, t-belt, the works. Munched the trans. case. Now, I would fix this one up, but the body is beat, and being never washed and a daily driver in Wisconsin, the floor pans have some issues. BUT, the AWD system, minus the t-case, is in good shape. I can get a t-case and tranny assembly cheap from a local bone yard I frequent.
How hard should it be to convert the Laser to AWD? It's already a 5-speed, and so is the Talon. I would think everything would just bolt in, since they were built on the same chassis? I'm already tearing down both cars, since I want the gfx and wing on the Laser, and my wife wants to paint it a different color.
Let me know guys! Thanks!
