New guy
What's up all? My name is Damion and I have a 95 mitsu eclipse GST that me and a friend did an AWD swap on a couple years ago. It's pretty much fully build aside from the fuel system that I'm working on getting now.

Welcome man, how much cutting did you have to do? I thought about buying a 97 Mirage and doing an AWD conversion for fun.

There wasn't as much cutting as you would think. I only had to cut four 2"x2" holes and that was pretty much about it. The AWD and FWD eclipses and talons are pretty much the same car. The FWDs just don't have the bolt holes for the rear sub frame assy to bolt up so you have to create the holes yourself and go to home depot and find some bolts that will work. It was worth it in the end, but I don't want to do it again any time soon. We are both mechanics and we did it in a shop on a lift and it still took us a good 16+ hours. But it was well worth it when I felt that first AWD launch.
