This is what we have been up to today! Picked up our new Smart CDi 54 BHP. The thing is awesome!!! Really fun and not as sluggish as we thought it would be which considering by this time tomorrow it should have around 40 BHP extra and a total of 190 NM of torque should also be a little bit of a round town weapon! Here at GAD we are used to Porsche 911 turbos and BMW M3's all of which are juicy to say the least! This thing uses nothing!!!! We also project that with our software in place and a careful foot we should see 110 + MPG. :D

Good afternoon,

Unfortunately we cant come on Friday as Gary accidently booked work in :D The thing is crazy! We love it! cant wait till we develop some crazy software for it with DPF removal and EGR delete should be awesome! One fault is the gearbox which we knew about but with Brabus paddle shift its much better so that is on order!

In the next coming weeks it will also be a courtesy vehicle so hopefully you guys in the future will also benefit from the vehicle.

Regards

Anthony @ GAD

I got my missus a new brabus one back in 04, kept it factory standard but was funny when in the outside lane on the motorway, the faces on the drivers as you passed them. :p

110 BHP is more than the BRABUS version isnt it and that has a TURBO. Do you plant to add a TURBO or is that through software alone?

The CDI is turbo..... 800cc turbo diesel. The diesel produces more torque that the brabus with software we are able to produce around 170 to 190 nm of torque...... this is roughtly the same amount a golf 1.8t puts out from the factory.

Well our smart CDi spends more time at the dealer so you have been warned!!!!

Ours is still in warranty but once thats expired I plan on the DPF and remap.

They are great fun to drive though and the 80mpg is great only gets filled up twice a year!!

ah nothing has changed then, I said ours was built by the factory apprentice, it to spend a lot of time in the work shop. they never did cure the overheating the whole time we had it. the lamba sensor packed up under warranty, ended up with a new manifold which has the turbo built in, I asked if I had to pay how much and was told £1400 + vat. did sound good with the dump valve on though.:rolleyes:
