Hi I'm Tamatea,

I'm from Tahiti, a little island in the pacific ocean and I just bought a chrysler crossfire base coupe. I don't know exactly the production year because it doesn't appear on the registration card.
As you can see our service in charge of car ownership certificates is well-qualified.

I would upgrade it and install the SRT6 kit. I would prefer to install this kit because mechanics are not really qualifed too in tahiti
I'll need your help to find dealers for custom parts, OEM parts, etc.

So all advice is welcome!

Thanks.

Congratulations on your new ride !
However, I am sorry to disappoint you, but there is no such thing as a 'SRT6 Kit'.
The car is either a SRT6 or not.

There are a few things you can do to the N/A ( Normally Aspirated ) models to improve performance :

1. a CAI (Cold Air Induction - either single or dual )
2. exchange the 68mm throttle body for a 74mm one.
3. Get a EuroCharged tune
4. You can retrofit SRT6 brakes ( or even larger ).
5. Wider tires, but the OEM sizes are fine for the N/A.
6. exhaust upgrade ( Magnaflow or Borla cat-back ) - no HP increase, but sounds better.
7. a 'Sprint Booster' - again, no HP added, but more responsive.
and finally .....
8. Fly me out to Tahiti to help you with the updates, shouldn't take more than a week or two ....

Thanks for advice, I'll think about your proposal. It should be less expensive to buy a ticket from USA instead of paying a local mechanics
