Smartmatrix's 2002 smart fortwo

This is my little Smart Creamstyle.
The Creamstyle is a non UK model.
This car was imported. I dont know of any others in the UK.

Smartmatrix's 2002 smart fortwo

I work at Smartarse design and have all had chance to fit this smart fortwo with all the best bits available.

Smartmatrix's 2002 smart fortwo

The styling is to my liking - I prefer a understated style.

The Creamstyle is similar technical specification to the Passion models but has the following

Champagne metalic panels
Silver tridion
Silver painted smooth mirrors
Cream Alcantara interior trim on the dashboard
Smartmatrix's 2002 smart fortwo , Door cards and pockets and the two seats. Alcantara is a suede type material
Smartmatrix's 2002 smart fortwo
Creamstyle badges on the A pillar near the wing mirrors
55hp std spec
6 speed tiptronic with full auto option
Air conditioning
Glass panoramic roof with interior blind

I have made this to my own liking and done the following modifications. The modifications cost a total �5887.26 and I have an agreed insurance valuation for �6000 with Herts Insurance.com

I have added or modified the flllowing parts

74 kw air line tik + seal Mcc Smart large air line to turbo

Bilstein dampers + springs all round Streetline kit modified rear springs low ride

Brabus front splitter Brabus front spoiler

Custom ECU mapping 95 bhp Dyno'd at 19 Psi Boost Red dot racing _ Augusto Donetti Red dot Racing _ as you can see from some of the other car that have had a lot of expensive mods done _ tuning has moved on and the custom mapping really makes all the diffference _ it give Smartarse design the edge
End of story.

Just an interesting note here _ recently we had a Brabus Roadster (101)customer who had another firms "Brabusw" map - it was quoted at 115bhp _ we had added 7bhp's worth of mechanical mods - it dyno'd at 107bhp - at 24psi boost 1.7bar!. When the map was disasembled by our mapwriters - the actual power gain over standard on this car was 1bhp!! Yes really 10 psi was worth only 1bhp. We have found that the Brabus does not respond well to generic remaps and each one we do is custom remapped with before and after dyno graphs - usually between 115- 123bhp depending on the mods with no more than 21 psi boost 1.5bar max.

The car has been tuned and has is running 94.6bhp dyno proven on the red Dot Rolling road.

Smartmatrix's 2002 smart fortwo

It made 100bhp and the boost was reduced to 19 psi (1.3bar) for longevity and to give a smoother power delivery.

It has been looked after by Sasha, Rob and Dave at work - I must thank everyone there for time and effort they have put in.

On the 24/04/07 the car was documented for a feature in Performance Tuner Magazine (http://www.performancetuner.co.uk/).

It may even make the front cover on this shot

Smartmatrix's 2002 smart fortwo

The feature was on small modified cars - the other cars in the article were

130 bhp Suzuki Ignis Sport 1.5 tuned

134 bhp Mini One 1.6 tuned

100bhp Fiat Panda - new

Ford Ka tuned - bhp unknown

My car pulled well and posted the fastest 30-50 time in 3rd gear and the 3rd fastest time in the 50-70mph test in 4th -

Dont ask about the 0-60 time......... Doh!

You will have to buy the mag and read the article for more info _ out next month. Read my own write up here - just click on the link http://www.smartarsedesign.com/

Thanks to Peter Knivet the Journalist writing the article and Kenny P the Photographer for a great day

The car is for sale - see here if you are interested

Smartmatrix's 2002 smart fortwo

Thanks for looking at my car!
Nb after my only guest book comment so far_
This is not bike engined(there are some gsx1000 ones see Smartuki on google and you tube)

Consider this from a single overhead cam, 2 valve engine
This car give 160bhp per litre and if it were 5.7 litres (350 cu inch) would be 897bhp and 817ft/lb of torque. Not too shabby>?

Now looking for the next project

Mike
