My name is Gabe's and I just got my grandma's smartcar about two months ago. It is a 2006 Silver Fortwo CDI Passion originally with 750 km on it and now about 2300 km. I'm 17 and have a budget of about $1000 and wondering what I should do with it to modify my car... there are several basic ideas I had with it but none relatively affecting the outlook of my car...
Here are my ideas so far:
Upgrading my horn (sounds like a clown car)
Armrest for the driver sides right arm
Sound system in the back (maybe)
I am also looking to increase HP on my car but I am a complete newbie to cars. So any ideas and help would be greatly appreciated!
p.s I am also wondering about how much km or miles everyone gets out of their tank... I drive automatic and I get about 200-250 km per fill... Is that normal? Also I've read about mod-chips which help with shifting gears at a more faster pace while in auto?? What would be the cost of the modchip be aroumd?
