Weasle1uk's Smart Roadster

abit of an ongoing project but here is what i have done so far

OEM head unit was pants so i fitted this Clarion HU

i also fitted a pair of 350watt 5" door speakers

as i was at it the sub i had lying around was to big to fit in the boot (pic below)

as i fitted the modified sub i also fitted
a pair of 2000watt 6x9's

unfortunately cylinder #3 decided it didnt want to stay in the block

the remains of the guilty piston #3

it even managed to take out the starter motor

the replacement engine

as we were fitting that we fitted a K&N Appolo induction kit

and a Forge DV

i realised that a rear engine car does not need PAS so i removed this control module to disable it

the sub got removed and 2 Pioneer TS-WX22A got fitted (behind the seats)

i then desided that i didnt like the cheap looking plastic that Smart used so i removed the dash

but as it stands the dash is still out and will get done when i can be bothered to sort it

A quick update me and Haggis have now fitted Bucket Seats, Harnesses and OMP Steering Wheel. I havealso removed the airbag system and tided up the wiring abit..

bling bling with your new seats lol

Now the aircon pump has been removed. the rest of the A/C system will be out soon

no need for air con in this country never gets hot enough to benefit it. snd gsin that bit extra power anyway from removing it anyway

Yea and its a soft top so on the odd day it is warm it makes more sense to open the roof lol

wont of gained any power though as it only saps power when its on and its never on. unless your looking at the weight saving of 4.2kg for the pump, pulley and bracket.

And I have also ripped more of the wiring out.

Ive never really looked at the project threads but this looks to be a real good project you've got going on mate, never seen a modified smart car roadster so will be keeping my eye on the updates, good work you've done so far mate

What plans are next?

Todo

Dash and a few other parts to be flocked.
Seats re-trimmed.
Roof change to Hardtop.
More wiring ripped out lol
There is also a few performance mods in the pipe line but i am keeping the info for that one quite for now.

There are a few modified Roadsters about but not many lol

Sounds like its going to be quite unique then, how are you getting the seats done?

Hows the car looking like now? Like it wants to be in evo bro's or is looking like its getting somewhere lol

Thinking about red leather sides with black down the centre, not sure what material the black will be. It is getting somewhere just not sure where though lol

Finished removing the Aircon today. Total weight of A/C system 7kg. Here it all is

looking good mate keep it up.did you ever get that dashboard finished

no not yet i think im going to get it flocked instead of painted though
