|  hello from germany :-)
hi people,
i jut wanted to say hello and introduce me and my car.
it's a 2003 smart 42 with 50 bhp for now.
i still dont know if i will tune this one, for its handling is
easily to improve by rather cheap stuff (wider wheels, remap),
or i if i just get something different. something small
with a turbo would be cool, but it seems like smarts
are the only rear wheel driven and turbo charged small
cars around. |

Alright Flori. Wow your English is good! Personally I'd get rid of the Smart...but I don't like them. Does a new car have to be rwd? I can't imagine a Smart being used for drifting. But hey, if you like it ignore me!! 
Welcome to TorqueCars mate!!

i dont use it for drifting,
it wouldn't be that clever to drift with it. 
but it somehow feels better then the FWD
small cars i tried.f.e. accelerating in corners
feels a bit "sportier". and when you deactivate the
ESP (not in big traffic of course), its hella funny
and the new car should (not must) have RWD, because
i think RWD is potentially the sportier choice, because
you could drift if you want to.
of course there are also FWD cars to have fun with.
and RWD it usually is already fast(-ish) then.
(bmw, merceseds benz, mx5, mg,...)
but since we have to pay for cars, it's goin to be a
long way to get the new one.
damn capitalists

it doesnt have so much mileage now, in the 4 years i got it its only 23000km (14000-14500 miles). 
since i reach school and university with public transport (free stundent tickets), im really not driving alot.
but i think its goin to be km per year soon, because money increases slightly and people i know settle all over germany.
i think i'd know if there are some major problems with the car, brakes are ok, dampers, clutch, and stuff is ok too.
my only worry are the front springs, they tend to break on some smarts.
and i think this one is goin to stay stock, ill share it with my sister wholl get her license soon. and she doesnt want any modifications on it. so ill watch for something different.

my main reason to choin this forum was, that nobody seemed to discuss if a golf mk3 1.4 could accelerate out a bmw e36 328i or something similar stupid. and the page seemed to be created by people who know their ****.
