4wd conversion, legal or not?

[11000RPM]

Dear all,

My friend tot of buying a converted evo 6 but recently he was told that converted evo 6 with 4wd is illegal. Can I know what are the chances of being caught? He’s a johorian, is the johor JPJ good at catching this type of mod? What is the penalty of modding 4wd? Some say will kena tarik, some say can kaotim, some say no, can any sifoo here advice us?
Thank you…

I don't know what happens if a car with 4WD conversion was caught, but I remember as long as there is nothing that involves cutting the floorpan/modifying the chassis and so on it should be OK. If the converted Evo 6 is from a 4WD Lancer then I should think they have no problem, if they are converted from anything other than a 4WD Lancer then I think you should stay off it.

just to give opinion with last experiance...
my bro convert nissan sentra 1984 to gtir pulsar with 4wd...
tak lepas inspection....jpj sita that car

If lasttime 1.3/1.5 to Evo no problem (quote based on driving Proton) but now even 1.8 can't go to 2.0 anymore since JPJ disallow it.

Modification is 2WD to 4WD is illegal from lasttime...or all time.

Well say, stay away.

A general note for all ..

- Conversion from Lancer body 1.6 (EVO 4 and above chassis) to full evo is legal and conversion to 4WD is legal too. This is because the same chassis shared by both variant cars.

- At road blocks, they have no time to catch and inspect your car is a Lancer or an EVO because your car looks like an EVO already. Avoid extreme modifications, this could forward you again for inspection in JPJ.


4WD conversion to Proton's are illegal.

I think those are converted from 4WD Lancers, hence making his life easier.
