Nice GTR's! You don't see it on everyday basis tho.

It's good to know that there's some rich people in the PI that owns those supercars but the reality is, our country is still struggling from poverty, corruption, natural disasters, etc. That's why no matter how proud we are, other wealthy countries still view our country as another THIRD world country. Sad but it's true.

My cousin told me that you will see very rare newer Evo's like IX and X on the streets of Manila. But a lot of older Evo's you can see roaming around the city.
It seems recovering however, around new SM marikina i saw remnants of flood...mountain of basura... soooo good to be back in so many aspects pero
sad part poverty level unchanged or even worst.

very true that is why there are teeming condominiums to be sold to foreigners while the rest of the poor people reside in old decrepit houses.

I never thought that there is a pinoy sub section of this forum. Nice to know. I went back 2a month ago and saw the same GTRs parked at greenhills at night time.... I was amazed that they have GTRs now in the phils but havent seen an EVO X yet.

Mine is black. There are lots of GTRs already in the Philippines. I even see more GTRs and R8s in Manila than Evo 10s.

I miss the holidays! I had so much fun! Now I am back in Davao

I agree with you. I mean we have so much potential against other countries. Filipinos are hard workers and I think we are the biggest english speaking country in Asia. So much potential to be like Malaysia or maybe even like Singapore. Problem is really the corruption that had resulted to majority of the population living below the poverty line. Grabe ang red tape.

Well I just look forward to the 2010 elections. I hope and pray that people chooses their candidates wisely! The past years under this administration had been really tough hounded by so much issues and corrupt moves. Hope it serves as a lesson already to many of us.

I am optimistic for our country this 2010 and beyond.

hahaha cool.

i popped my lower intercooler coupling while merging on the highway on the way to work one busy morning. i scared the crap out of my girl as i didnt know what was going on at the time. i had a flat bed tow it back home. i thought it was a headache. when i cam home, i was happy to realize that it was just a quick fix. :P

im running stock with full tbe and mbc to 23 psi.

vin - i wish my friends had evos. they'd rather work on their civics. ftl.
