from the repo show, 2 fat chicks repo a smart, the large one would never fit in a smart...
the smart does that, if it thinks a bulb is spent, it flashes fast, i had a brake light go "iffy", and it flashed fast till i whacked it a couple times and then it came back to normal, now i carry a pair of bulbs in my glove compartment.
I have one original front wheel for Passion with about 5000ml on it.
Pick it up for $160 in San Diego, or add shipping cost for 25 lb (22x22x6") from 92126
paint your rear drums with caliper paint.. it will make the drums fade away when looking at your NEW rims!
What did you get, Jim?
the wheels are off! measured the tread depth of all, the fronts have .230 and .231 inches of tread left (7/32 is .21875) and the rears have .234 and .240 inches or tread left (8/32 is .250) all tires have 20,500 miles on them, so they easily have an…

Seumas Warren said… - Hmmm Interesting. I'm no master mechanic, just a backyard mechanic. I've built a few engines (all VW bug engines) so I like to think I have a basic understanding of how an engine works. From what I've seen on these little Mitsubishi engines that are in our smarts they are no different from any other in that they would benefit from added protection. The tolerances of the engine are pretty tight and exact, what we used to call blueprinting back in the day. But that's pretty standard now a days on all auto engines compared to 20 years ago. The product I mentioned Steelsheild doesn't seem to be Teflon based. It smells like silicon, although I have yet to see exactly what it is made of. They seem to keep their formula secret. I already bought an 8oz bottle from them, I will probably add it in the next day or two. I'll let ya know if I can feel any noticeable differences.

- Quick question, I was searching the forums and reading on engine additives and came across an old post of yours on slick 50. Did you ever add it to your engine? I use a product called Weapon Shield on my firearms and they make a product for engines as well. http://www.steelshieldtech.com/ , I was thinking about giving it a try but first I always like to do research and hear from others who might of added some kind of engine treatment to their car.

Suzanne said… - Thanks for the reassurance re: price. I guess t's like buying anything--depends who you ask whether you got a good deal. I think that the folks buying "American" Smarts now aren't so aware of the difference between theirs and the imorted Smarts. I'm happy with mine and I've had my 15 mins. of buyer's chagrin. Now it's just grins! Suzanne

Bobeto said… - You have helped me in the past...Is there a Auto Parts Store where I can order a bulb (turn signal/brake) for rear? Also have you heard of anyone's fan (heating/air) not coming on for days...then magically working fine??
