Default AWD Accent

I know i am going out on a limb here but.....

I was wondering if any has ever tried making or even thought about an AWD Accent like the WRC car. Or if it is even feasible. For the past few months I have been trying to gather info on all the parts needed moving and cusom fanbricating to do such a project.

The few main problems i have come up with so far are:
Fuel cell- needs relocation
Center tunnel- not big enough to run both exhaust and driveshaft
Rear engine/tranny mount- Needs relocation in order to place differential and driveshaft

My biggest problem is the choice of drivetrain. I really have not thought this part through enough because my main concerns are those 3 stated above. I would like to keep it all hyundai or as much as possible. But the easyist way i could think of doing it is using either a 4G63 or EJ20 drivetrian. But that requires all aftermarket and stand alone ecus and computers.

I will admit i am not to firmiliar witht e Hyundai engines and tunning capabiltities, Whats the best choice of engines to get a nice power level, and still be on the reliable side. And is there really many aftermarket parts readily availible for Hyundai tunning?

Well thats all i have for now any help, input, ideas, thoughts etc.... Are welcome!

probably an entire 4g63t engine and AWD tranny. it wouldnt be impossible but not very easy. you also need to relocate th rear shocks cos theyre right in the way. you might want to look at the rear suspension setup for an eclipse and use that as well or move the shocks to a horizontal position and use linkages of some sort to connect them; sort of like GTP cars have in the front usually. dont know what thats called though.

youll need to invest about as much or more of the cars worth (if its an LC; im talking about another $7000 easy) plus about a month's time. at least.
