Not so smart ruling eh...
Wira 1.8 cant go for 2.0.
Means my Waja oso cant go 2.0.

Another example where it become not so smart is on the old Merc W124, this car had variety of engine from 2.0, 2.2, 2.6, 3.0 up to 5.0 V8. Merc surely did the eg job but JPJ think its not up to mark?

I dont think they care, they just want easy job, so they made a one size fits all rule. Typical of 3rd world countries.

I assume the ruling was made cause the chassis weren't suited to handle the power dished out by the 4G63T. And those Mitsubishi engines were really common and cheap, coming from VR4, and Evos of various generations.

I wonder when they will start banning Kelisa and the loaf of bread with engines exceeding 1L.
