The Hyundai was built by the guy referred to in this thread, hes my future father in-law, his name is Bob and he lives in Lebanon. The car is really a "re-body" meaning that he made the Hyundai shell fit onto a first-gen DSM drivetrain/subframe (hence the turbo, awd, etc), so its actually two cars mated together, not an engine swap per say. He sold the car to Turbo Tony from Torrington. Tony did the basic bolt-ons to the engine (fuel, bigger turbo, etc.) since his specialty is DSMs and drag raced it, but he didn't do the conversion. Fuuny enough, he was actually just showing me some pics of it from like 5 or 6 years ago when he put it together.

No problem man, I'll let him know this thing is still fairly well-known around here, to be honest I wish he still had it as I used to be really into AWD DSMs; for a while Tony was claiming he built it which always bothered me. At the moment, his latest re-body is a Rambler that he chopped and channeled and put onto a old Trans-Am with an LT1; not as fast but still a pretty cool driver.
