451 smart fortwo

K & N air filter arrived and fitted also changed oil for Castrol SLX 0-30.
I must say that it seems to have liberated the engine and there is
a quicker response to the accelerator pedal, but then again that could
just be me wishful thinking. Still get more of a buzz out of the M3....
Could also be that i have just completed 3000 km's.

You can also get a cold air intake which replaces the huge plastic setup with a stainless steel pipe that directly connects to the side air scoop. More efficient and gives you an additional 8 HP.

A gain of 8 hp for a air filter seems rather a lot to me, I don't belive all that is written on the packet.
I have the turbo and it just seems to run freer........

I changed to K&Nd saw a change. I guess every little change adds up. Try the twin exhaust from BTL and you will enjoy the sounds.
Check the link.

Hi Kahn I agree with you that there are lots of bits that you can add on to the Smart, if you look at my photos you will see the bits that i have changed on mine but once you start on exhausts, body kits, tires and wheels, Aerodynamic upgrades (Brabus) you may as well go out and buy a Brabus in the first place with the 72 kW / 98 CV, 999 cm3 3 cilindri benzina turbo motor. As of yet you don't have that option in the States i am sorry to say.
You missed wheel spacers of your list, i have put spacers 20mm front. 15mm back on mine.
