If you want to venture into RWD, a Toyota Corolla KE70 sedan is the way to go. The car by itself is cheap. RM1500-RM5000 stock depending on condition. Spend at least RM3-5K on rust removal & dent & paint. About RM7-RM10K on a 4AGE transplant. Some more money on better suspension system. Basically the KE70 is almost 90% AE86 underneath. You can play with engine, suspension tuning & wheel tire combos for almost cheap. But don't expect the car to be super fast on straights. But its is fun to drift around. You can see this guy play around in his almost stock engine KE70. Yes you can have fun for cheap if you know what you are doing. Its basically a banger for you to experiment and experience.



Your choice of Altezza is also good. But this car has quite limited choice in tuning. Not a lot of people stock tuning parts for this. And most cars in Malaysia are automatic. 6 speed tranny is rare. And i don;t think you can buy one for RM20K.

If you want something to impress people and drive to impress yourself, i doubt the KE70 will be the car you want. Its basically a downgrade. Even an AE86 is a downgrade as its not going to be any faster than almost everything on the road these days. But it is a car to learn some things that you never been able to do before.

Most Mx5 owners has more than 1 car. They just let their Mx5 sleep at home. During weekend drive only come out. Owners just enjoy the car for what it is,that's why many are reluctant to part with it.

I used to remember when I was younger there was many Mx5 roaming in kl. Maybe 10-15 years back

Hey thanks for the reply! I looked at KE70 and I saw how much potential it has as a hobby/fun car where I can tune a lot and have fun with it being cheap. Looked at a Nissan Cefiro A31 and that's basically the best bet for me to have a car I can still cruise around and still go sideways. Most of them that are for sale are under 20K with RB20's and turbo ready builds, I dunno. Right now I'm just looking at BMW e30 for a nice drive car and with a welded diff I can go sideways, parts I got a lot of suggestions to use Bavarian Auto. The Nissan Cefiro on the other hand, I have a bunch of friends that are JDM parts traders so I can get a hold of those parts easily. and finally the KE70 where I can have fun and learn drift tuning in an environment where I can somehow afford to do mistakes? if that is the word I'm looking for anyways. haha. Thanks guys
