Re: Smart ForTwo CDI
You are misinformed in thinking it is designed to top at 55mph. This one does over 80mph bone stock. Available fuel/timing remapping makes these even more fun to drive

Oops, I just realized I used the wrong "break" for "brake". Good luck with your project!
Re: Smart ForTwo CDI
Is that a model that has been modded or do you guys have access to OEM turbo diesel models there? I bet with some torque it could be fun, but they are not the most attractive cars around.
Maybe some window tint is in order LOL j/k

Re: Smart ForTwo CDI
I have driven one of the standard gas models here in the states and IMHO the standard model has the worst engine/acceleration and transmission of any car I have ever driven.

Funny you mentioned window tinting, I was just there this afternoon. I just got a quote for side windows and sunshade, $140, appointment on May 6th.
Re: Smart ForTwo CDI
The turbo diesel was available in Canada only for 2005-06. Most people prefer the Diesel for it's fuel economy(greater that the gas model), the main objective in the design of the car. Because the trany is electronically shifted, most people tend to compare it with automatic transmitions, which it isn't. Shifts are also known as being lengthy. Remaps are available from 20 to 60hp gains(diesel) and also speeds up the shifts. Greater torque values can be attained with the diesel as well. It's not a car for everyone but it certainly has unique attributes.

Re: Smart ForTwo CDI
The one I drove was not impressive, fun, or attain good mileage comparatively, yours, on the other hand, sounds like it will be a great little get around car.
Post some pics when you are done. Do you know the approximate crank horse power numbers people have made with bolt ons and ECU tunes? Just curious...
