The Excel uses trailing arm rear suspension and given that your going to have to reinvent just about everything doing an AWD swap. The rear end is nothing like the C50 CSMs and the rear track is a lot narrower which you have found out and also explains why that guy doing the AWD swap on the Scoupe has had to tub out the rear end.
The Elantra however shares pretty much the same torsen beam rear axle as the CSMs and has the same coil-over dampers and pickup point which would make conversion pretty much identical to the CSMs.
Yes, your absloutely right I measured a colt today in the local pick apart and I measured it and it was 56' inches, which is the same as the awd 1g rear end. Also measured the rear end on a 94 hyundai elantra and it was 56' also, I was like WTF!!!!!!,lol. So there goes my plans for the awd swap for the excel went out the window now and might be doing a hyundai elantra instead. It sucks that I going to get rid of the car because I really like that car a lot and seeing how it would be more work than I could chew, it would be a crime to cut the car up to ruin it. But I really want to build a sick ass hyundai that's awd and unnoticeable to people,lol.
So for now drive it, fix it mint, maybe paint it and then winter time comes again it would be a hunt for a hyundai elantra. Also I really want to bring the hyundai to the DSM Shootout this year to also meet some of you guys there as well and show off the ride in person,lol.
Also if anyone that lives near me that has a hyundai elantra that I'm looking for please email or pm me info. of the car.
