2005 Smrt CDI

[Canadian Turbo]

Well I thought I would finally start a thread about my car, since I should have a few things to show off shortly.

First here is a couple pics of the car, sorry it is very dirty, with the weather and work it is in need of a good wash!

Re: 2005 Smrt CDI

Now the first order of business is taking care of that wheel gap, so on Monday I am getting a cupkit installed to lower the Smart about 30mm.

Since everything on a Smart is so small how big do you think the suspension is? The answer tiny...........







I will post up some post drop pics Monday I hope

Re: 2005 Smrt CDI

WOW those are tiny, but like you said, what do you expect, its a Smart car. Cant wait to see it dropped. Any plans for wheels???

Awesome, awesome to the max!......thought i'd quote a little Futurama, lol, seemed to be the right thing to do, hehe. Can't wait to see it when you have the suspension and wheels.

Well here are the before and after shots for the suspension install. The car rides quite firmly now and eliminated most of the body movement in cornering and shifting, but not an overly huge drop.

Re: 2005 Smrt CDI

Are airbags available for a Smart car yet???......j/k looks nice but could be a tiny bit lower in the back IMO.

Re: 2005 Smrt CDI

Well there is not really a lot of suspension kits for a Smart, and they are pricey too! There are a couple of coil over kits but most will only bring the car down another 15mm so not worth the extra money.

I agree the back could come down a bit more, and maybe it will settle a bit but I hope the new wheels will help fill the space too! Just wish they would hurry up and ship them!

Re: 2005 Smrt CDI

Well ordered new tires today, could be a bit of overkill, but might as well make the car look like it has some bite



Still waiting for the wheels to ship, but I think it should be any day, I really hope at least!

Re: 2005 Smrt CDI

Well still waiting on the wheels and tires, but I am hoping really, really soon.

Did order an intake scoop this morning though, wont do much for performance but looks cool!

This but in black
