There are only a few integras in taiwan. Maybe less than 5 real ITR.
Honda never bring integras into taiwan therefore all the integra on the road are imported from US/Canada either by owners or shop.

I imported my car from canada. just have to pay duty and pass emmissions test.

Nice, looks like the pictures were taken in Dam Shui...FYI, A JDM DC2 ITR will sell for at least $30K U.S. in Taiwan. USDM probably fetch around $25-28K.

think it's fake, since there are not much iin taiwan !! most be a pain in the *** when you try to find a parking there huh, all the motocycle's will dent your car ..etc
last time i was there i've seem people try to get in to a pakring that can barely fit his car, all he did was hit the car in front of him "slowly" and hit the car in the back. that's how he got in ! my dad say it's pretty normal people do that there..

next time i go back there we've get hang out together !! keep you R safe over there !

OMG, this is the first time I ever seen anyone refer to 'shiang shia' as a place. That is just too funny...dude, just say rural areas...

shian shia....hahaha...I grew up in Shi-Pai. I went back two years ago for the first time in ten years. That country is freaking so different from what I remembered. Mass transit systems, bimmers/mercs everywhere, eveybody bling bling-ing w/ rolex's.

man...please watch out for SARs. We can't even find masks in the states to send over there anymore. Crazy times!

I'm not from Taiwan, but as far as I know, oversea cars can be brought into Taiwan with very minimal effort (compare to the US rules). Many ordinary international students, not rich, no mafia connections, have done that legally.

The Taiwanese government requires the car to be used in another country for over a year, then the owner can apply for bringing the car over without paying hefty import tariff. Just pay the shipping and some basic duties, do some emission test and the car would be good to go.
