Re: 2005 Smrt CDI

For its size the turbo makes a fair bit of noise. Exhaust and a few other goodies ordered!

Saw you picking someone up from SAIT the other night!

Car sounded mean for a SMART

Re: 2005 Smrt CDI

I pick up my wife a few nights a week at SAIT. The car sounds pretty good (not like any other Smart) but it is just too loud for everyday.

Still have not even got an order confirmation on my new exhaust though

Re: 2005 Smrt CDI

Slam it! Hot car, the new running gear looks super chubby and the grill makes a huge difference, especially from a 3/4 profile. Very nice, even if it does have a ridiculous plate.

Re: 2005 Smrt CDI

Well it is lowered a bit

After 3 weeks and 2 emails with no response about the status of my exhaust order I am looking at other options now, the straight pipe is getting a little hard to handle.

Parts should be shipping today, finally!!!

Re: 2005 Smrt CDI

Well just had 4 new to me wheels dropped off today. They look good, backs are a bit scuffy but fronts are near perfect. The tires are mismatched Conti fronts and Pirelli rears but not really sure if you can even get a matching set in these somewhat odd sizes....195-35-17 Front and 215-35-17 rears, going to be pretty wide out back!!!!

I will try and get some pics up later.

Re: 2005 Smrt CDI

Well here are a few quick pics of my new 17s, I think they are going to look killer on the car, grab some big attention, just hope the fronts are not too hard to fit.

A rear on the left and a front on the right


Some rear lip (the specs are 17X8 with a -20 offset)




A front (17x7 with +25 offset)


The tires rear Pirelli P Zero Nero 215-35-17 and front Continental Sport Contact 2 195-35-17

Re: 2005 Smrt CDI

Looks awesome. I would be concerned with the mismatched tires though.

As far as I can determine there is not a single company in the world that makes both 195-35-17 and 215-35-17 in the same pattern, in fact 195-35-17s seem very difficult to find in any brand.

Also there is no reason to be overly concerned with tires different front to back. Why would that be a problem?

All you gotta do is get a 5.0L mustang and your set

But in all seriousness, the chromes gotta go.
