Default 2 lonely ITRs meet @ Taiwan~

hi guys!! ~here is a few pics sharing with all of u oversea from an island in here^^~
everytime seeing you guys have a ITR expo gathering makes me really wanna join into ~

here are ITR 98-0632 and 98-0641,
i'm so excited to share thses pics lol, and u have no idea how difficult i am to have 2 USDM ITRs in a photo, since there r only like 3 ITRs been imported here and the 3rd one is a 97spec that is also a CW.

ps: even a regular integra is kinda rare in here and as i know most of them have converted to JDM ITR looking haha.

as i have seen there is one RHD JDM ITR converted to LHD... not many in here= =, but the funny thing is that these regular integras got B18C swap and 4.785 tranny as standard equipment ~

I wouldn't have expected any USDM Rs making a boat trip to Taiwan.

Is there a theft problem? Do people there know what it is? Maybe I'll tell my cousin to import one

i think the thief problem wouldn't be a huge issue to caR like ITR in here because they just wanna strip something with huge market and easily to cash out, but mostly wut situation happened is that they only mean to break into a car and grab those fancy deck with screen on it or any valuable stuffs wut u left inside ur vehicle... something like this.

and local taiwanese shop they have imported numerous engines like B18Cs SR20DET and all those goodies directly from japan, so i think this is also keep my caR away from those stealing bastards.

but no matter wut i always park heR at somewhere secured as most as i can.

according to my experience... to date i would say if i took off the acura emblem there r still lots of ppl dunno wut car it is lol

Crap that's a lot of money. Would probably be cheaper to import one from Japan.
