anyway I have done this before. I had packed 4 wheels in my luggage lol. And I think you guys know what filipinos use for their luggage. Well I had about 2 boxes big enough to carry all four wheels, 2 in each along with my clothes etc. They usualy just questions it when it goes in the x ray machine thats all. But it can be done!

whats up mga pare?
Rotas are made in the Philippines and imported here. The import car culture has been active in the Phil way way before it got famous here. Type-R engine to a Civic hatch swaps was even a common thing a little over a year after the Type-R Integra was released.
Also JDM parts are much cheaper there... if you know where to look. Go the up scale neigborhoods (Alabang and Corinthians) a full spoon Civic would be a common sight. When I was there I even saw the Ferrari F50 and Mc Larren F1 owned by this son of a politician.
Lastly in Makati at the upscale bars, you can see Ferraris, Jags and Expeditions parked like its a common thing. It makes me sad that gap of the social status there is so big. If youre poor youre really poor and if youre rich youre really rich.

Hello my fellow Filipino's
I'm glad to finally hear from Filipino's out there.
So are you guys born in the Phillipines and just migrated in the states? I was born and raised in Bacara Ilocos Norte until I was about 12 then moved to Hawaii. Hawaii has a huge Filipino community. I'd like to hear from you guys.

Who's a military brat? I am. Navy brat to be specific.
Dad's from Orani. Mom's from Hermosa. I was born in Guam, quickly moved to Lemoore, then quickly moved to Hawaii. Spent my childhood in Hawaii then with all the base closures, pop's got transferred to San Diego. Been here ever since.
Hawaii's got a HUGE Filipino community. So does SD.
Guam does too.. lol.
