"Certified motor vehicles and motor vehicle engines and their emission control devices must remain in their certified configuration even if they are used solely for competition or if they become nonroad vehicles or engines,"
Am I reading this right? Have a part go bad? You have to buy the OEM, not the aftermarket that is half the cost. If I'm correct, this is nothing but a money grab for the automakers.
- ptaipale 10y agoIt's a money grab for suppliers of original parts, but it is also a control point and power grab for many authorities. A specific point that interests me is modification of engine control software. This can actually both improve performance and decrease pollution at the same time, and it would be prohibited in the USA. (I'm not in the USA, but I am still concerned by this because the same things tend to float across the Atlantic.)
