Platform is Basically a CB lancer (CC for Australia, 4G Mirage states side). So EVERYTHING pretty much from a 1992-1995 Lancer works, except for the body panels (longer trunk, and different front). In Trinidad and Tobago, we mainly would cut the trunk and also swap the front to the lancers, due to the lack of parts availability for proton itself. Most would get an EVO floor and just weld it in for AWD, then go have fun.
Getting JDM halfcuts in Malaysia is as easy as you going to your backwood wreckers in the US :P. JDM engine swaps in Malaysia is as common as your LS swaps in the US.
Back in the day in the U.K. there was a couple of proton personas with the evo running gear and AWD done with the evo rear subframe and a short driveshaft
There is a popular local Malaysian dish called 'rojak', which is a sweet and savory fruit and vegetable snack, which originated from readily available ingredients across different culture and ethnicity groups.. The name rojak means mixture, the car modification culture in Malaysia have adopted the similar principle - making the best out of what we have access to, and it tastes bloody good.
YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 More PROTON and PERODUA Pleaseee 🇲🇾 Thank You Larry Chen for shedding light to the Malaysian Local Car scenes , we Malaysian are really proud of our Local Cars and Bikes Culture🇲🇾💪🏼

Hi man I'm so glad you're in Malaysia. There's a weird/interesting car from Malaysia as well - Bufori. Would love it if you have the chance to do some videos on them
welcome to Malaysia, the capital of Evo conversion. chances are if you saw an evo here, most likely it's a converted one (there's a lot of them around, you can find standard evo sedan, evo coupé and even an evo hatchback)
used to own 1 with a 4G92 Mivec engine. The pull is just enough as this particular chassis is not well known for its handling abilities. Sold it in 09' and I miss the times driving it
Bro, you gotta understand, proton was based on Mitsubishi, so its 70 percent Evo, so you can just use body part, interior, enjin gearbox and 4wd part to make it 95 evo. Only difference will be the chassis, evo chassis is stiffer. Similarly cedia has similar chassis with evo but not as stiffer, so you can make it evo 95 percent.
The only similarity between a proton wira and mitsu evo is the look. That's it. The chassis of a Proton wira 1.5l is the same design but not as tough as a mitsu evo3 although it can be fully converted to look like an evo3. There's a much better and stronger chassis Proton Wira which is a limited edition Proton Wira 1.8 which has better chassis than a normal Wira.
They just have 2 sheet metal BS reinforcement at the front strut tower and the rear X brace that it LOL so yeah! they are the same thing, also you can reinforce way better any of those cars better (at least Mitsubishi mirage's)
@@Darth_yoyo Chassis altering mods are outlawed in this part of the world. There are even inside jokes about Wiralution style builds losing their windshield within a month of 4g93t GSR swaps among the community(go figure out why). You tell me if it's the same or not.

Eh, if it was AWD.... It's a 4G63 swap. I've seen it stuffed into a tiny Hyundai and had to fix the electrical on it at 2am after it started cutting out on acceleration after destroying everything on Gratiot Ave back in the early 2000's There's a video of it racing a prototype SRT ram somewhere on the Internet. You can actually hear it cutting out on the video lol. Had a 2x6 for a dashboard. Front 5x15 from the donor car and 4x14 stock rear wheels lol Total pos sleeper.
I've seen some of these "fake" Evos for sale in the US....buyers be careful And it may have the motor and drivetrain, but it doesn't have the extra spot welds, chassis stiffness, etc.
Most of them would have already done chassis reinforcement anything that is running more than 400hp will need to have the chassis done otherwise the chassis will crack especially this proton
@@LuckyFruitRacingthe rear fascia does have to be chopped off and rewelded on, as for the AWD running gear it is possible and has been done many times before, but it is illegal under the law
@@marceline4935 I understand that. In the video it sounded like the owner was describing cutting the underneath structure/subframe area of the car. I think Larry was under the same impression.

thanks larry for review Msia classic
As if putra doesn't get any expensive by now🗿
its called WIRABOH
Huh. Imma hold on to my 1.8 exi c99 then.
Rubbish lol
@@kingwong8290 r u?
The putra is basically a Mirage/Colt from the early 90s
Mirage Asti to be exact
Astri
"We have Subaru 22B at home"
"We have DSM at home."
“We have Mirage at home”
Go check out the Prodrive version of the Putra. Looks almost identical to one

You guys also got Proton in Trinidad? Or did you guys only import the parts from Malaysia?
Finally , the wiralution/putralution expose to the world😂😂😂 , damn miss those old days😅
That look so good. It also very getting popular in Australia people convert proton jumbuck ute in EV0 3 awd ute.
Ayyyyy thanks larry! Youre the best 🥳
The Putra is now rare and also pricey as well. The platform of it was introduce from 1999 to 2001.

He should mention this type can convert to Lancer Evolution
1. Proton Wira: Sadan 4door
2. Proton Putra: Coupe 2door
3. Proton Satria: Hatchback 2door
Proton Arena/Jumbuck: Ute 2 door

I always loved the putra.. but seeing this model, evo spec, especially in silver, makes me fall in love with more so much more
I visited Malaysia a few times and I fell in love with Protons
Neatest part of the conversion is the rear tail lights from the lancer sedan onto a coupe! 👍🏻
I like how Larry goes from, "But why though?" to "This is cool!"
From what I remember Mitsubishi sold Proton all of its tooling for the Mirage/Colt/Lancer platform.
Car cultures around the world are just crazy, awesome video :)
I always prefered Putra over Satria GTi.
For those who don't know the Proton Putra is based on Mitsubish Mirage Asti
man! i've always wanted to drive one of these 2 door evos! it's so awesome! congrats Larry!

@@ChaimJustin-rx5cm i know lol...
its rarely convert to rear EVO because not many bodyshop can do the one that can pass road legal inspection.
Interior the seats are similar to Evo One but they are Proton Putra factory Recaro seat known as Enjoy! Evo 2 n 3 are different look and shape!
Putra pon dah rare, sumbat pulak bontot evo 3
Tapi cun aaa
Dia kena try proton arena evo pulak
Malaysia boleh! Proton ftw!
Hi man I'm so glad you're in Malaysia. There's a weird/interesting car from Malaysia as well - Bufori. Would love it if you have the chance to do some videos on them
well, bufori was originally from Australia but now is based off in Malaysia.

Welcome To Malaysia Larry The Legend 🫡
Proton putra is basically Mitsubishi mirage asti.
coupe Evo 3 that never exist
could compete with impreza coupe back in the day if it was exist
Malaysia:
JDM produced 100 units only.. but you can find 300 of it in here
😂
That' not a evolution... It's a revolution
2:50 Like the car but love homeboy's shirt (I'm going through an oversized t-shirt phase.. should've just kept my old tees)

Only difference will be the chassis, evo chassis is stiffer. Similarly cedia has similar chassis with evo but not as stiffer, so you can make it evo 95 percent.
You need to mention that Proton Wira and Putra are the rebadge from Mitsubishi Lancer. That is why most parts can be swap and PNP.
Thank you for reviewing our favourite and my personal car❤️❤️
The original actually more resembled of the, "Subaru Impreza WRX STi Coupe" AKA Subie 22B instead.
Tak prnah tengok putra ni ,nice dri side nampk mcm subaru impreza sti. Mcm ala2 sabaru mix dgn evo3
Lots of nice cars in Malaysia

He was cool as heck!!
This is the Evo Mitsu never bothered to make
Damn i thought larry was gonna visit supra GTO's car which was AWD
Such a sick ride. Love it.
Never thought Larry gonna come by Malaysia
Proton Putra is basically a Mitsubishi MR
Mirage Asti to be specific
The owner doesn't even need to wear seat belts 🤣
A lot of power in a fwd is always fun
Those rear set lamp and reflector is rare by now... last time i survey it 1.5k for the reflector😢
Great to see gen z are into JDM cars
That recaro wira c99
Now that’s fucking cool!
Gila gila lah Mike speaking 😂😂
Kalau ada pun kat brunei limited ni tpi tak.ada satu pun pkai keta ni
Iam doing this now. In augusta. Ga usa😊
Sick. They would like my Mirage cup car.
Now you have to find a proton arena evo ute!
2 door Evo’s have been a thing since 1990-1999, it’s called the Eclipse GSX… 4G63 turbo engine and early evo AWD drivetrain basically.
And Plymouth laser
This is insane. love it
but,for malaysia land and transport law.any car,is illegal to mode in to 4wd.because.the floor,need to be cut.and installed,the 4wd.system.if they,cought.then is an risk.
Belakang putra lagi lawa lahh hahaha
Love it keep it up man
For the rear you just use a regular sedan not need for a “evo 123”
Now I'm imagining an Evo III 2-door coupe...👀
yup we had it in malaysia. got 2-3 people did it with kansai service kit
just find a mirage asti and install evo 3 engines and parts.....
Maaan … that’s what I call a Hawker spec Evo !
He makes it sound like a difficult concept....
Kid must be regretting his decision to convert the Proton Putra to an Evo 😅
Why
Why? You don't see a 2 door Evo anywhere.
@@channe3049 So?
Hee Wei Seng needs to have a look at this
nicely done car...
sick car
paduuuuuu
Lahh this dude didn't do his research...putra basically is a mirage Asti cause in 90s proton have a contract with Mitsubishi in that time.
How are they using the evo awd transmission in fwd form?
lock the transfer case
The TOYOTA CALDINA IN BACK OF THE VIDEO !!!
Im still surprised on how they have 2 model x at a same place 😂
DAMN IS THAT MIKE???? OMG
Proton chasis is base on Mitsubishi
Larry find Nim199 you can drive evo UTE 😅
Ive always wanted to.convert a Mirage into an evo.
Wen u coming trinidadandTobago
it also,cheap.only cost bnd 2k.but bonet Stock.never mind.can convert it,to evo 3.its an about cash.
those,Mitsubishi lancer is,else been seen,at brunei.at West malaysia.sarawakian and sabahan,if working at brunei.everone can buy it,and drive it back.legal to use.dont worry,about the title.as long,u got an cash.that why,all the lancer,uselly from sarawak.
Are engine conversions legal in Malaysia?
yeap. i think they can increase it limit to 30% of the original cc.
It’s a Mirage Asti.
Mirage Asti
Satria GTI come on
Looks like a Mitsubishi Mirage
Eh, if it was AWD.... It's a 4G63 swap. I've seen it stuffed into a tiny Hyundai and had to fix the electrical on it at 2am after it started cutting out on acceleration after destroying everything on Gratiot Ave back in the early 2000's

Most of them would have already done chassis reinforcement anything that is running more than 400hp will need to have the chassis done otherwise the chassis will crack especially this proton
malaysian mitsubishi
So, what was the point of cutting up the back?
to fit the evo 3 taillight and bumper , the putra dont look like this from factory
I have 1000hp proton perdana(street legal)
4WD conversion is illegal in Malaysia.
rally
Ricer!
all converted wth
malaysia have evo 2 door..😂
This was highly confusing. He was talking about cutting and welding the rear end but its not AWD so doesnt have any reason to have done so.
The original rear looks much different than the evo rear end.
@@linkinstreet I'm aware of that, he made it sound like he was talking structurally- as if to accommodate Evo running gear.
@@LuckyFruitRacingthe rear fascia does have to be chopped off and rewelded on, as for the AWD running gear it is possible and has been done many times before, but it is illegal under the law
Mines is awd and I didn’t used the evo floor
@@marceline4935 I understand that. In the video it sounded like the owner was describing cutting the underneath structure/subframe area of the car. I think Larry was under the same impression.
