You are absolutely right! in my country, there are only less than 2 mrx4 running since 2004 due to the lousy distributor, i am buying parts from japan(in fact, my local distributor is the one probably contributed the result of mtx4 having a serial# in the chassis) At the track where i am going and it is a snake base, many 960 people did come to ask me what this and that to hop up. And the funny thing is, i am always telling them. I was afraid of not having enough local support by the time i had this car so i stock up a lot of required parts. But until now i still have tons of unused spare parts that i can almost build another spare mrx4.

To cut it short, Mugen has a very durable car. With the same impact, my mrx4 has no damage, but same on a 960, wow, they needed to change a lot of parts.

even the mtx4 sibling- xray's nt1, it has hell of a lot of expensive options. no wonder they spent 2 years to reengineer to produce a me too, to "develop options".
