Aftermarket Parts??

CANMAN · 08-19-2006, 05:47 PM

Is it just me or does it seem like companies are dragging ass researching and developing aftermarket parts? I would have thought for as anticipated as the SI was that companies would have had alot more out for our cars. We only have like 4 or 5 choices for catbacks, etc... Has anyone heard any news from companies like HKS, Apexi, etc?? I ALMOST wish I would have bought a RSX because the wait for parts I like so I can mod is killing me.

Give it time, remember the car has only been out for 9 months and its hard to get a hold of the SI so some companies may be waiting for 07 when a new batch comes out. You'll see more in the coming months

Not only that, but there's no real blueprint for tuning the Si. It's been a real pain in the ass for people to tune this car, and it's not as easy as say, making a part for a B18C or an H22. Or hell, even an Ecotec motor.

CASE IN POINT: Tuning the ECU, how long did that take?!! And still we dont have full adjustability

Cams and gears would be cool if they can be tuned and adjusted correctly.

But back on topic about lack of parts, you are correct, there isn't much available but it's just a matter of time.

Here's something new, has anyone ordered any pulleys yet?
