[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 16076965, member: 188865"] Never going to happen. In a graduated industry, the profits gradually shift from final assemblies, to components to eventually repair and service. You could LITERALLY take a brand new vehicle, separate it into it's thousands of parts and if you were actually able to sell each part, you could sell the vehicle for much MUCH more than it's worth or sold in whole. Part suppliers and sub vendors have agreements with auto manufacturers (which change all the time) which is part of what drives changes. Then on top of that, the components parts makers WANT and even obligate the manufacturers to change/update parts. It's what keeps the components expensive. Imagine how efficient and cheap it would be if every manufacturer or even within the same make they used common and continuous parts. Imagine a world where Ford used the same oil filter on every vehicle. Or the same bulbs for the various lights. I bought a 1999 Mustang GT and soon after wanted a Bullitt intake (which at the time was the only aluminum aftermarket intake available for the 2V modular). I had it ported, then realized aside from the asinine cost of the intake, the cost of the swap was doubled with all the various small parts and pieces that Ford changed from the 1999 GT to the Bullitt. Throttle cable. Why in the **** would you need to change the throttle cable. I can see the length changing, but all the parts/pieces, attachment style, etc? It's just the way it is. [/QUOTE]
