banawe
thats my favorite place on earth! my girlfriend always joked about it but when i go there,,, i always have a smile on my face.
if you are customizing your car, you could always go there. banawe "left" has the JDM stuff, the old model corolla bumpers, right hand drive stuff, door parts, lights, oem japan windows(pw) i guess there are both stuff on banawe "left" and "right." on the right, there are more audio stuff, rims and car accessories. i could spend the whole day there
have fun
vic
btw, are 18 inch rims with tires really about $350-400? let me know

John350z is Ilocano also. I'm going back to the motherland next year for part of my honeymoon. I can't wait to hit up this street you guys are talking about.

Im surprised there are so many Pinoys here. but then again Filipinos have been notorious for buying the flashiest cars that they can get hold of. Nothing is more flashy than a 350Z with a Pinoy driver. hahaha
You gotta represent your inherited driving skills... anyone thats been home the last couple of years can definitely back me up on this one. Drivers at Manila especially at EDSA are the craziest drivers you can find. Buses actually go faster than cars! And you gotta love that 4 lane change coming from the outside and cutting infront of everyone just to be first for the left turn lane.

Ilocano too.
Wow! An Ilocano in TN. That's a rarity (I think). Plenty here in San Diego. So other than BlueDragonZ, importriders, john350Z, and myself, are there any other Ilocanos in this forum? Speak up lakays and bakets, and be proud.
Anyhoot, any one from SD going to the Mossy Nissan Oceanside Show? I think it's this month, but I gotta verify that.
Peace!

DAMN!!! Balut and Jollybee MMMMMMMM! It's funny when you watch Fear Factor and one of the things that they have to eat is a balut and people are grossed out. All I have to say MMMMM give me some.
