Galant VR4 vs Galant Super Saloon, where the floorpan is totally different (require extensive chassis mods). New modern cars now share the same floorpan design. Example is the 7th generation Galant / Eterna where u can bolt-on the AWD to a non-AWD model without any chassis mods. Reason is very simple: SAVE COST. I'm sure this Daihatsu Boon X4 has the same floorpan as the local MyVi. So, AWD bolt-on is possible. Then again, u definately need to do transplant all together which can cost up RM 20k easily.

I have to say the front looks good. 'Quite GARANG', actually. But I doubt there are any changes to the rear. I don't like the rear look as much as I dislikes Savvy's. I heard from my brother that some speed junkies has swapped K3-VE into Kelisa. And K3-VET's half cut are already available in some chop shops here. I'm not suprise if there are already K3-VET powered Myvi on the road today. Too bad P2 didn't get the licence to produce a Turbo version of Myvi. This only made the chop shop towkey smiles even wider. This could inspire many Myvi owners who wants to do their own 'facelift' to their own Myvi. I have to say the front looks good.
