Well i found a cheap good condition pontiac acadian so I decided not to mid engine swap my other colt. Its unfortunately extremely heavy at 2250 lbs, full interior both bumpers etc. so 100-150 more than the smart car. So far so good its winter here in sask so obviously not chasing 10s anytime...
Oh and im building another car just to try for a 10.99 on the 6cm. The smart car could do it, i dont doubt it. It has done 11.58@115, its just very scary to do passes in. I might have said all this already sorry if i have plan is to mid engine swap my 1981 dodge colt. It should be about 2000...
Good to see some action on here!
What kind of lb/min have you guys logged? My smart car has been capped at 29 lb/min forever. I dont really care as the car is too sketchy anyways but id like to know why. Its probably just all that intercooler piping
There is no chance it would fit in the unmodified original chassis im sure je knows that. It would definitely work with some modifications. Worst case is youd have to tube frame the whole front end, use talon steering rack and suspension. Probably wound wind up having to change rear diffs as...
Thank you both but i cant take too much credit its not an original idea there was a guy on here who already did it of course! In 2015ish the thread is still here but all the pics are down. He is from Venezuela and it went inactive, never got any videos. It had a 50 trim and he kept his...
No its a 2006 smart car. I love building dumb stuff and light 14b cars are just cheap. This car wont ever get anything bigger its too fast as is. Way too short of wheelbase to be doing 120 mph in
Really surprised to get an 11 on the 14b! This is aincient rock hard all season tires, 91 pump with 1/3 can of vp octanium so my guess is 93-94 octane.
(this is an 06 smart car), wheelied maybe 1/2 inch it was a perfect run. Its 2100 lb car, super heavy for how small it is but works very...
Im glad you guys updated this. Motivation for me, i have a smart car swapped now and want to try for my Personal best (12.5) 109ish
I dont know if it will be any better. Fun experiment i suppose
Took it to the dump yesterday to weigh it. 1950 lbs ☹️ Hotpiped no intercooler yet. And no passenger seat either And there isnt much i can do to lighten it up. Will be 2000 for sure. Which is insane heavy considering how small it is.
Super fun to rip around in tho
I recently picked one of these up and am well into the swap. I am using the whole dsm subframe all hacked up and figured out a way to make it all work so i will be full 1g talon width with 1g stock axles. Lots of fab work. There was no possible way the dsm engine/trans was going to fit in the...
My 1980 colt ran 11.6 @123 mph in 2017 with really bad tires and current setup fpgreen hta kelford 264 2400ish race weight manual awd.
I finally put some half decent tires on it. Re71s. I also upgraded a few other things but the car doesnt make much power. Maybe 400 at the crank I...
