Re: A little birdie just told me....
RWD is fun, but power to all wheels means you feel a hell of a lot more torque and pull when you take off.
Is there room for the differential set-ups? Has anyone seen the underside of a Tucson yet? If so, are the diffys huge?

Beta 2 Valve Cover Conversion Kit Pictures...

wait ... how sure are you that its going 2 be available with an AWD option?
Just check out the Hyundai website it lists AWD being available on the V6 and 4 cyl versions. I am sure with a bit of research and hard work an AWD RD IS possible!!! At least we now have a tranny with output for a rear diff that will bolt up to a Beta right?? laugh.gif
You should keep up with the times, dude. AWD RD has existed...the WRC Tibs were AWD. Yes, there was a FWD Tib in the WRC, but there were two WRC AWD Tibs, both of which were championship rally cars.
And AWD is seriously not something extraordinary for the Tib. The problem is...if you bought yourself a Tib in the first place, you most likely do NOT have the wad of cash necessary for such a mod. Not trying to burst your bubble, but AWD Tibs are just out of the question for the majority of Tiburon tuners out there.

Re: What are the wheels made of?
Yes ArcticChill it has been done, but not stock on a Hyundai. Now with that part of the puzzle we can just swap out parts that are easier/cheaper to get to do the conversion. A big step in that area IMO.

I actually contacted the people who designed and built the 1997 AWD tiburon that was driven in the WRC, its a AWD setup off of the Mitsubishi Eclipse, with the mitsubishi motor, he told me it costed $30,000.

Re: McIntyre Tib what?
AS far as AWD goes- I don't like it. I'll deal with a little traction loss as long as I don't have to deal with AWD power loss. Just my opinion, but after the quick launches, 2 wheel drive cars just go faster, it's how it is.

No dude it is an option for the 5 speed manual with the 4 cyl. Check out the options chart:
