For all you ITR/CTR rim fans out that that DON'T have $2000 for an axle conversion for the 5th lug, you might wanna look into these...

They are by no means the ones in the pic above, but they ARE almost identically the same thing, just not OEM. =/

Oh ok, cause it looked kinda creepy. I mean everyone that I saw had one. Which I thought was rather cool cause that implies that all these ppl have totally done up thier suspensions to the point where they EVEN got the bar. But I guess that was too good to be true

One more thing I wanted ask you is you ppl drive lowered compacts in PR? I mean I sometimes had trouble driving the roads in my dads friggin SUV!! The friggin potholes I went over in that thing would've KILLED my car. I went to El Yunque and around the fajardo area, some of the inclines that I drove over were seriously 45 degree angles. A friend of mine agreed, we would never be able to drive our cars there. But yet I saw a shitload of lowered honda's and mitsu's. How the hell do you do it?

One thing that did get to me was how EVERYONE drove a "hooked up" car there. I mean I went to Salinas, a friggin town with a population of like 10,000 and even there I swear I couldn't go a minute without seeing someone try to pimp something out. Even if they just had a cheap system and hubs. Over here we have a mix of normal ppl to ppl who pimp but shit, even Miami doesn't even compare to VAST majority of ppl trying to pimp whatever. It was kind of cool tho cause everywhere I went, I kind of felt I had something in common with them.

But I could tell you one thing I noticed, the Mirage is the puerto rican civic I even got to see the cream of the rican crop, old but fully restored toyotas with 3 rotor swaps and BIG ASS slicks in the back, I love PR

Ha ha, we get to manage our roads .Its a thing of getting used to it and entering at the right angle. Yeah we do have lowered compacts(alot), mine is lowered and at first i hit constantlly the ground but now i barelly touch it cause i know(as the other ppl with lowered cars) exactlly how to take the road.
Man if you think we have bad roads you should go to Jamaica.You wouldn't drive you car in P.R. as i wouldn't even try to drive mine in Jamaican roads he he..
Probably the reason you saw so many hooked up cars at Salinas is beacuse there is where the Salinas SPEEDWAY track is. One of thw 2 most imp and crowded tracks in P.R.. Now that you mention all the hooked up cars there are in P.R. its sad that we don't have too many import car shows(just classic old car shows)

The mirage in Puerto Rico is like the "Ombligo" in a person.Everyone and their mother has one he he he..Curentlly Hondas and Mirages are the biggest enemies down here.If you get inot a light beside a mirage its almost shure that youre going to have "the looks" by each driver and its almost a sure race. We even have at the track Mitsu Vs. Honda exclusive events.

He he i guess you saw alot of "bone stock looking" CRX's..he he. If you find one on the street your dead meat. Almost all of them are sleepers with lots of things under the hood he he..I would better race an integra than a crx LOL...I wouldn't lost by too much with the teg he he...I have a friend that had a TurboII RX7 and he got smoked pretty bad by a stock looking REX...

how would they have fake ITR rims? look at them, they are the exact same as their JDM counter part, just four lug.

Ahh yes, 4 x 100 lug pattern. Thanx, I'd save it but I don't have a comp.

I gotta let you know the next time I goto PR so you can show me the hot spots

Not fake rims, fake Type R's. You know like the Accord Type R's and the Civic Type R's we have so plentiful in the good ole USofA. What's harder, getting a real ITR or getting an LS and getting stickers and some convincing looking rims for them?

Squooooze me. They looked like 4x100 because of the size of the inner H symbol.
