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.
