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.

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

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

Saw you picking someone up from SAIT the other night!

Car sounded mean for a SMART

Re: 2005 Smrt CDI

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

Re: 2005 Smrt CDI

you have enough power to turn those wheels?
oh and i love where they put the battery.
we did a carbon blast on the intake side same problem as VW and Toyota.
the new diesel fuel is no different for carbon.

Well at least they can hear you coming. The exhaust explains the center cutout I saw when pictures where loading.

Re: 2005 Smrt CDI

Well I have been trying to sort out an exhaust without paying a ridiculous amount of coin, so on Saturday I took the Smart up to Das Auto Haus in Red Deer and had Chris do a little experimentation. Overall the Smart exhaust is very very compact so he ended up fabbing a straight pipe with twin center exit from some pieces he had in the shop and a set of Eurojet tips. It looks great but with no muffler it is quite loud, closer to a F350 powerstroke than a Smart. The drone and volume are a little too much so I am going to finally bite the bullet and order a new setup from the UK.



Big thanks to Chris for taking time out of his schedule to experiment with the Smart and the shop is fantastic too!

Re: 2005 Smrt CDI

Well finally after years of wheel indecision and complication I am finally rolling on some new wheels. Here are the first few pics, the car is not super clean but it was given a full polish by Jed just last week.

You can also see my new Brabus front grill


A little wider up front


And in the back too (excuse the broken plate bulb lense)


A little poke in the back and the arch extensions




Overall I am super happy with the look and big thanks to Bob at Urban Expressions for getting me rolling!!!
