4wd variations

On a recent trip to NZ I noticed that there was a significant number of 4wd variations of normally fwd cars, such as 4wd secas and Mazda 626s etc.
I am currently doing some research for a potential rally car project and I was wondering does anyone know of any 4wd/awd variations of cars, preferably under 2000cc and non-turbo. Ideally I would like to know model, year and standard engines.
Ideally I would be looking for a 4wd corolla (non-stationwagon) or a non-turbo celica GT4, but anthing would be appreciated
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

dude what your asking for is not sounding promising.
The biggest question you need to ask yourself is what are you trying to achieve and whats your budget? Also is it going to be only for race use? If it is on for race use there was an ST205 GT4 for sale for only $6500 (not registerable)
BTW all GT4's have a factory turbo.
Why are you after a non turbo car?

You wont have to worry about wear and tear as much on a ST205 as you would even on as low as an RX.
The st205 has a much stronger G'box thicker drive shafts stronger CV's, etc,etc.
100,000 K's is the lifespan of an average turbo and a basic rebuil is only about $400-$450.
Thats just the first things that came to mind, but there are many more.

Well since initial costs aren't a problem you could always buy a st205 and put a 3s-ge in it.
