Updates happening
Remember, just because nothing is posted here, doesn't mean there is nothing new. Check what has been updated in the right hand column.
A very quick and silly mod for you.
Make a memory stick in the style of a smart key.
OK, here is something.
I felt a bit guilty that nothing new had been posted so I quickly cobbled together something. It's a mess but the info that is there is sound enough. I'll tidy it tomorrow. Fitting Roadster alloys on to a Fortwo.
Lack of newness
Really sorry for the lack of anything new, I certainly haven't run out of things to put on the site. A few things have been updated and I am waiting on bits to be delivered for further info. Oh plus I have just wasted the entire weekend playing Super Mario Galaxy. I...
Oil info so you can get the right oil for any smart.
Select the right oil for any smart.
Some simple stuff to tide you over.
Firstly, the Basics area of the site has been offline for a while but it is now back. Check out the non modification menu and click basics. How to change the interior courtesy lights on a fortwo and roadster. Numberplate lights change for the fortwo and roadster....
A bunch of new stuff
Converting your headlights for driving abroad. Only an update but my new grill looks so good I feel I have to share it with you. Remove scratches from your plastic headlight lenses. Fix a broken wing mirror adjuster one of three ways.
Jacking page now updated.
Now includes jacking up the Roadster.
Old info updated with new stuff.
The headlight bulb change page now also covers the Roadster and the Crossblade. Battery removal now covers the Roadster. Headlight alignment now covers the Roadster and highlights a possible error to look out for.
Headlight Disassembly
Take your headlights apart. Not terribly interesting unless you are a slightly more hard core modder. Handy if your self levelling unit is shafted and you want to change it.
Hey, something new! Boring but new anyway.
Not very exciting but here is how to remove the ignition barrel. Remove the headlights.
Poor Mr Smarticle in a crash.
I was in my first ever car crash yesterday and I didn't enjoy it one bit. To make it worse I was driving Kat's smart car at the time. The Mercedes A Class seemed to come off a lot better and could drive away. Not so with the poor smart as the radiator split. So I have...
MP3 leads and a warning
The MP3 lead page is changing, new products are coming, standard leads are going. Don't buy smart MP3 leads from Ebay that charge the Ipod as well, unless you want to buy a new Ipod that is.
Massive radio pinout guide update
The original Grundig pinout guide has been on the site since it first opened, It needed an update. Stereo pinout guide for most smart stereos including the new 451.
Whole lot of nothing been going on.
Sorry for the total lack of anything new. I have been feeling very lazy for a while now and a mental block for new ideas hasn't helped. Anyway, hopefully a bit of new info will get me back to normal. Keep an eye on the update list on the right as some new smart 451...
What is good and what is bad on Ebay.
This list will be updated once or twice a week.
Update the headlights a bit
Remove the diffuser and spray the reflector. Sorry about the lack of updates, I really have lost momentum over the last fortnight. Most of the things remaining on my list of things to do are a bit boring.
DIY paddleshift and button shift started.
Horn button shift is done, now work on rear button shift and diy paddles can begin.
Do NOT buy a smart 451 yet
Do yourself a favour and wait a year. If you jump on the bandwagon you will be ripped off. At the moment, smart are effectively saying "pick any number between 1 and 50 but you can only have 4, 8 or 12". Smart are limiting your options. No Diesel! The apparently...
