Thats right, another UK smart owner trying to see how you folks over the water are getting on with the smart. Have seen some great mods on US cars and hoping to get new ideas from this forum. Live in Reading, Berkshire and had great day out today at the "ace cafe" smart meet in London

Current car 2008 passion turbo

Mods to date:

Larger front wheels to match rears - 175's all round now and handles better

Evil Twin centre exhaust

FreeFlow air filter and induction scoop

I will post some pics sortly, top end still restricted to 92MPH as not had car remapped but pretty nippy for a smart!

MPG, I have to say not main reason for purchase but I can average 45-50 around town, slightly more on motorway if driver steady
