I most likely will look at some stiff suspension and anything black. Are you looking at building parts?

Performance Upgrades Will Be Available

For Ten Years I Have Designed, Produced And Sold Oem Performance Upgrades For Various Vehicles.
I Have Provided My Services For Harley Davidson, Honda, Polaris And Now Personally Manufacture Extremely High Quality Exhaust, Turbo, Header And Air/fuel Intake Systems For Numerous High Performance Vehicles Produced By The Big Three U.s. Automakers.

My Systems Typically Produce Substantial Horsepower Gains And/or Fuel Efficiency, Depeding On Which Is Desired By The Vehicle Owner.

I Am Interested In Determining If There Is An Interest Among Smartcar Owners For Performance Exhaust Systems, Header Systems, Turbo Systems Or Cold Air Intake Systems.

A cold air intake would interest me.

As for performance parts that will sacrifice my mileage, I'd rather spend that money on my TT.

But, don't use me as the measure of this group. In think the younger members here want to make whatever they drive go fast. Been there, done that, still do it - but with a car that is already fast.

Another Option Would Be A Smart Looking Stainless Steel Catback That Would Produce A Unique Performance Sound Without Changing Or Losing Economy. Also Unique And Custom Exhaust Tips Would Be Available In Hand Mirror Polished Stainless Steel.

I put a K&N intake and a Borla exhaust on my MINI (not an "S") Cooper and am very pleased with the results. I love the sound in a tunnel test. I would love to do the same to my new "Smarty"

We have already made and tested the sports exhaust in the UK.
A cold air system is going through final testing as we speak.
Better air filters are ready on the shelf along with bigger turbos,6pot callipers,adjustable suspension and bigger intercoolers.
Everything you could possible need is already here.
Photos to follow.

Quality

Also Since Such Small Diameters And Flow Volumes Are Involved In The Smartcar. It Is Absolutely A Must That The Cold Air Systems, Headers And Exhaust Be Mandrel Bent. Any Restrictions Created By The Antiquated Pressure Bent Systems Will Leave The Typical Disruptions In Air Flow.

I Use Only 304l Stainlees Steel And Cnc Mandrel Benders And Cnc Laser Cutters.
