dpsch87 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I forgot to introduce myself, been creeping here after I bought a 05 smart Fortwo CDI back in Dec as a cheap alternative to my truck while my electric car was being repaired, always wanted a smart car and found a deal of a car with only 73k kms l couldn't say no to. Now I'm just playing with things to make it perform a lil nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willys Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Welcome to the site and club.....better late than never....lol. Not sure what you are looking for to make it better, maybe we can help or suggest options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpsch87 Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 I'm just trying to tweak it to make it easier to pop on the highway, I already purchased a smart madness pedal controller and love the customizablity of that, but it still doesn't have enough oooomph for the hills around here, well the new ecu program I threw in lastnight seems better but I like to tinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoreman Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 These cars will never be comparable to a race car... but with the right tune they do pull you up a hill... Well , I have had several tunes and even purchased the Malone tune ... just saying not really worth it. I have on the other hand made several that really put a little extra umph into them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 On the west coast, the tune Eddy does at Flying Tiger makes the acceleration adequate, and gives 155 km/h on flat road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willys Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 You can find parts like ECU's and SAM's etc easily from a few here in Ontario and also Alberta....so don't worry too much on that front. The issue is you need that Star system to teach the new ECU to speak with the rest of the system IF you have to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
