Again HDDP nothing in these posts is/are directed towards you... especially the offensive parts... I don't blame your skepticism towards aftermarket parts it is just that it all came out funny to me... maybe I just did not understand the situation correctly...
I was not aware of the SI being stolen, but I have noticed that they did disappear... and no I don't know the whole story or that even a story existed, I only know what i read in the forums and I read most of it...
The purpose of this thread was to answer common questions and comments often made about the crossfire's lack of aftermarket parts and one of the primary reasons for that lacking... is ourselves...
If I was to say that we all have to purchase expensive modifications for our cars that would be absurd, my claim is that if someone is at least willing to purchase these products, they will exist, but no one really is so they do not... and people question why they do not exist... it is like a cycle...
Ah, don't worry about it... No offense taken... I'm just as frustrated as you are about aftermarket mods...
As far as SI is concerned, I posted a thread about a year ago that stated the ONLY ECU modifications maps for the Crossfire were the original Bosch maintenance / service software for the MB version of the engine that PowerChip and a few other vendors had licensed...
All OTHER VENDORS are working off that Bosch software program... I know for sure that the "TUNE" parameters for the Crossfire are nothing more than fueling / timing maps for the MB versions of our engine... I watched the process while a Powerchip Gold 93 flash was being done on my car two years ago...
That being said, YES there is a dearth of aftermarket STUFF for the Crossfire...
