sadly for us here in australia the market is too small and then the people who have 451s arent into modding them..
even the uk seems very slack, but im hoping the US willkick things along.....
sadly for you guys you dont get the turbo, your really missing out, cant wait till you finally do get it though as the aftermarket and tuning side of things will really kick of then, but till then we just have to wait..
anyways... faster gearshift? a remap wont make the gearshift faster, BUT... there is a company in italy that sell the software to be able to reprogram the gearbox so you can do as you please with it, much faster changes, alter the clutch point etc... who knows whatever really... thing is the large $$$ outlay, but in the US im sure you'd be able to get hundreds of ppl interested in it and that'd bring the cost right down.... then we can all benefit... how about it :D

Andy 451Kahn, what did you want when I come over?

Have I talked to my mechanic today it is he has told me that the ecu costs 450 euro for the smart brabus, but how much does it improve the gear?
-
The ECU for the smart Brabus will NOT work with any other car than a Brabus. Any new gearbox ECU has to be coded to your car at extra cost.
-
but I have a smart 451 brabus cabrio.
How much is the increase of speed of gear?
-
Between 10 and 25%
-
The Brabus gearbox ECU can be upgraded by approx 20%.
The 61/71/84s are upgraded by approx 35%.

LOL, sorry, learn something new everyday, if you're not careful! probably the 10mph "auto-lock" feature kicked in. i've found the only other way (so far) to lock the keys in the car is by locking the doors from the outside and tossing the keys throu…
I left the ignition on to tow my Smart Car a short way on a car dolly. Do not do this with the windows up. The doors automatically lock!
It took me two hours to figure out how to get in without damabing the car.
I have another question, how does the re tune effect fuel efficiency? I bought my smart with the belief that fuel prices would go up and for my daily commute back and fourth to the office there is no need for me to drive my 3.0L V6 Maxima when I am…
the smart's radio wiring is from VW... found that out when i put a pioneer in my Pure 2 years ago, the guy never saw a smart before, but he said the plugs were VW! go figger!
