I keep mentioning Bod, my old Smart. So I thought I'd put some pic's up of it, sadly I've lost the folder with the photo's, I think I left it on my old lap top.
So I've had to search for some on the net & here they are.
The Specs:
Newly built engine raised from 600cc to 700cc
Custom Re-map by RedDot racing.
Brabus Cam & Clutch
Larger Roadster turbo (still a wee little turbo )
Janspeed polished ally intercooler pipes
Brabus TIK pipe
K&N induction kit
Custom made Stainless Steel 'Stealth' exhaust with sports cat
Bilstein Streetline springs & dampers
RedDot Racing Brake pads & Discs
Roadster deep dish steel wheels (a second pair of rears were going to go on the front to improve the track width before the car died)
Rear panels were painted black by Mercedes body shop & windows very lightly tinted.
The car produced 112bhp (standard was 54 bhp) & the induction noise when accelerating was immense. Taking off from the line was mad but still hampered by the awful slow gear change but the sudden deep bark from the stealth exhaust & the intake noise was enough to catch people by surprise! it was a great little sleeper!
I may build another one in the future who knows.
I killed the car. Damaged Tridion shell (the steel bit the runs road the whole car like a roll cage with a floor pan) meant the car was a write off. The only option would have been a reshell & that was too expensive.
Yes that is an ejector seat sticker on the drivers seat, but I didn't have time to pull the handle. :amuse:
