It lacks the sharp corners…." you obviously haven't seen a real malaysian rally. there are hundreds of sharp corners. malaysian rally's stages are one of the most popular among foreign participants in the aprc, coz its challenging, tough, and technical. when we used to have WRC cars and drivers in coming to malaysia in the 80's, they said the same things. there have been known cases of people converting wira's into 4wd running evo powertrain more than 10 years ago. “I dun like the ‘estate’ race track in Malaysia.

I read in most forums saying that converting a FWD into a 4WD would be time-consuming, not to mention insanely costly, justifying a better stock 4WD car. I've seen 4WD turned into RWD, but FWD into RWD and 4WD..awesome!..lolz.. Awesome, damn Japs putting 4WD into everything..lolz!

But I dont think it'll be used for local rallying scene. I think its intended for the WRC super 2000 series. The UK rally Neo which was featured in NST CBT & previous blog post does look marvellous.

Personally I think Myvi is good in cutting nicely into corners. It has shorter overhangs and larger front view than those competitors. But it lacks the rear weight to do rear swing. Malaysia still needs more exposure to the rally championships... I dun like the 'estate' race track in Malaysia. It lacks the sharp corners and scenaries....
