Well I might take a vacation to taiwan this summer, I hope some of you can take me around. I dont speak any mandarin so I could use some help when Im there. I hear the food is good and cheap as hell too. I like eating outdoors and taiwan seems to offer a lot of outdoor food and drink stands which is cool

So just like the tvb vacation shows I watch, english is not very popular there huh? Im afraid if I start blabbing out cantonese, people will just be confused. I guess it wont hurt to start learning mandarin now, its not that hard.

yO my Taiwanese brothers~!!
I'm from Taipei, Taiwan.
Born and raised there until I was 12
Used to live in LA for 7 years, been in Phoenix, AZ 4 years now for school (freaking hot!!)
I got a 03 black EVO VIII - pretty stock except for intake and factory gauges.
Wassup Derek, must be fu*^ing nice to drive a REAL Evo in Taiwan, I bet you get all the attention. Make me wanna ship my Evo back when I graduated (going back to my homeland for jobs) Anyways, nice to meet all y'all. STAY *****!! haha =P
BTW: The cost for shipping EVO VIII back to taiwan including tax would come close to 10,000 US dollars. And your car will have to be hold up for inspection for weeks before they release it you. Thats my source, correct me if I'm wrong.

Sup everyone. I'm from Taipei, Taiwan too. Hey Derek, do you have to be on the waiting list for like a year or so to get the car? I heard there's only like 60 some Evos in Taiwan.

Inspection is basically just to inspect if theres any illegal substances in the car like drugs, weapons...etc
My friend shipped his S14 back to TW all fixed up with SR20DET n stuff, they didn't say a word. So I'm guessing they don't really check that but then again I could be wrong since I don't know much about TW's policy on mods on car.
Lets ship our EVO VIII back to Taiwan and we'll all roll out together!! That would be bad ***.
heres a pic of my car with the Phoenix background.
Black is SOOOO freaking hard to maintain man.
