I'm heading up to Taipei for the big auto parts and accessory show in May.24th to 27th
Anyone else going? Any good contacts for ITR bits or race shops in or around Taipei.
Only there for four days so cant travel far!!

 

There's nothing much BUT check the local magazine store and pick up a mag to find out where you can find some parts. Be aware that there are fake stuff everywhere.

 

good luck, the ITR was never sold in Taiwan

at best, you might find some suspension pieces

two good shops to check out are AAI Motorsports and SRR

 

Yes, ITR was never sold but it can be shipped by boat

 

haha, true... damn expensive though

but my point was, there isn't a whole lot of locally developed engine part for B series in Taiwan because the B series was never available there.

 

I remember seeing B16 swaps though. The local car parts store in Tainan has some decent stuff like Cusco, Spoon and Mugen. Only 5 min away

 

last time when i was here (about 4 month ago) i went to AAI (mugen distributor in Taipei) they told me all they have is for civic type-r and nothing for integra, coz they dont have ITR there only has b18c5 engine lol. well i think if you wanna shop there u may wanna go to AAI to see what they have. or i know this area has lots of car accessories store i bought my HID there

edit
also becare lots impreza there are really fast 0-60 is like 5.2 sec. ppl there swap their engine all the time, even change auto to manual. some cars there are just crazy mother fuc*er

Hmm..I will have to go there!

 

oh ya... but engine swaps are totally illegal in Taiwan... you're in pretty deep trouble if you get caught with one... all the race Civics do use them in Taiwan Touring Car Championship though

 

trust me ppl have there engine swap all the time!
you gonna see all those modify cars in there especially south part of taiwan.but most of them has stock exhuast for some reason may be coz they are scared of cops. i've heard my cousin told me even if you put some sticker on your car the cops has rights to give you tickect. and it;'s call the body is different then stock.

remember to pick up some mag such as taiwan motor. or specR .. pretty good mag!! everyime when i go there i always have so many mags to bring it back

 

Hmm...I don't know. In Tainan, it's all ricers in Civic EG's with big stickers and fart tips. Once in awhile I will see a turbo impreza or rx-7 though.

 

na check mags all the civic there has b18c5 (well most of them) ppl are crazy about the b18c5, i remember when i bought my R my cousin saw the pic of my car the first thing he said was " **** man you have a b18c5 engine" and didnt even know what's my car call, all he know is my engine. and ask me to bring that engine with my next time when i come back ....

 

tainan could be different in taipei most car changed everything except muffler

 

AAI's phone number is 02-23651699
Their address is at the bottom of their website: http://www.aai-racing.com.tw

SRR's contact info is
No. 15, Lane 120, Nan Yung Street., Shih Chih, Taipei Hsien
TEL:886-2-86931922 http://www.srr.com.tw/

 

Most Taiwanese Honda owners are ricers anyway...no flames please, i am Taiwanese and I have yet to see a fast, stealth car in my time spent in Taiwan.

 

just cuz magazines advertise it doesn't mean it's widespread or common.

the cops are super strict in the Taipei area. When I spoke with the owner of AAI he told me the police would ticket you if you just had an exhaust.

for hondas in Taiwan, turbo is far more common than B series engine swap

 

wow seems some Taiwanese ppl around on this forum huh? B2FiNiTY and Spikey u guys r Taiwanese too ? i hope i can go back to TW this summer to find some part for my R hehe

 

Seriously...99% ricers in taiwan. No such thing as a "sleeper."

 

agree

not just hondas, mitsubishi, open, ford, etc...

all the same

even the friggin taxis

 

i'm trying to go... but track days (here in California) vs. goint to Taiwan for autoparts show?? hard choice ehh? i'm taiwanese too.

But i'm told it's a very big annual show though and it is probably worth going.

Don't be so negative...I have seem some with b18c swap on ek4.

There is a shop in ¤hªL. The owner is quiet nice...
Its called NewSpeed.
I've seen some nice ek4 over there..

 

Frank- Could I ask what you do for a living? It seems that you are always going to track days, every other day of the week. It must be great to do what you do.

 

In Taiwan... there are LOTS of modded hatches around. It's pretty rare to see engine swaps there as they are illegal.

But I think people are much more serious about modding their Imprezas. Unlike here, the last gen Impreza were turbo, so you will see modded turbo imprezas everywhere.

 

All I know is they have a whole bunch of B18C5 equipped Civics there...maybe the civic guys have some clues to parts N.America don't have.

Lots of Taiwanese here...I am not but all my friends are. Any of you in New York so we can hang out sometimes?
