Default Re: What Happened ?

HDDP, give it some more time. The Crossfire is still relatively new, and my guess is the vast majority of the people who own them are not yet ready to tinker on them. When residuals drop to the point where the cars become more accessible for "projects", I think you'll see an increase in aftermarket parts. Even in the sport compact community, you'll notice that a low entry price is a key reason that older Civics are the cars of choice to modify. And, in the Mustang world, you'll notice that the vast majority of weekend projects are late fox body cars (as opposed to brand new ones). Many of the aftermarket companies that I've talked to are interested in the Crossfire market and see these types of cars as one way to diversify out of the shrinking sport compact market.

Getting nil support from DC on the other hand is a bad deal. But you've done a superb job modifying an obscure car for track duty. Challenge can be its own reward, and perhaps forging ahead (where no one has gone before) could be a lot more meaningful than following the crowd.
