Smart Hayabusa conversion....

...PICTURES START ON PAGE 6, POST 53...



Hello everyone. I found this forum yesterday when I was doing some research for aftermarket smart parts. I'm currently building up a smart car with a hayabusa powerplant. I'll be designing the rear end from scratch with an a-arm suspension, and will be doing an a-arm conversion for the front. I'll also be doing some custom fiberglass work in the interior for the gauges and switches, as well as custom building a flare kit for the front (since I cant seem to find a front flare kit).

This is the first time i've ever seen a smart car in person so I don't know much about them.

So, if anyone knows where to find a front flare kit, or has any advice on stuff to watch out for on these things, feel free to throw it out there...........Yoshi

I was gonna attach some pics of the progress. I have the wide rear flare kit on as well as one of the 17"s sitting in place, but it won't let me upload the pics, it says I may not post attachments at the bottom, am I missing something?

Yeah, I heard about that guys problems a while back. I'm not using someone else's kit, i'll be building my own. Anything in the stock setup I will need to know when I start gutting the old harness? I was told I only need the harness that runs the lights/wipers, windows, etc, not the motor harness....

To post, you first have to get the photo "on the web," as the SCOA forum will not host photos. So, upload them to any photo sharing site. Then it should let you add the link by clicking this guy:
