smart car brabus...

[MrMemzi]

Well. As im used to flying about in my 205 GTI I thought id keep up with a smart car brabus. Maybe its time I ditched the Tuning box and got a pro steve map feel embarrassed

[MissTap_GTI6]

Ouch

[kentiiboii]

Tuning boxes are shit mate. Iirc they just push more fuel through. Get your self a remap. Theyre easy to upload.

[puglove]

LOL!!

[MrMemzi]

Ordered the cable and already spoke to steve. Haha the embarrassment. Was worse because I had a friend in the car

[r3k1355]

What is a tuning box supposed to do in a 205 Gti?

Sounds like it does more harm than good.

[MrMemzi]

Not in the 205 it was on my 306 hdi!

[Piggy]

a REAL twin engine smart brabus!!?

I didnt think they sold many of them...werent they around 100k new?

[Toms306]

A standard HDi would struggle to keep up with a normal smart car tbh.

[Curt]

Aren't these just short of 100bhp and weigh about the same as packet of crisps? Not really that surprising if you ask me... You may struggle mapped

[ozonehostile]

smart roadsters are incredibly quick even the standard ones, the brabus is a little rocket!

guy who works next door to my storage unit is mad about smart cars, got a 150bhp smart brabus with methanol injection, a 130bhp smart car as a daily and their only 700cc engines!

[Danny Wideboy]

Followed one of them down the lanes,they can shift but you will keep up when you've had a re-map.Managed to keep up with him with a lucas and K14 @ 22PSI.

[Piggy]

we talking the smart car brabus, not the roadster!?

....in that case....

[Danny Wideboy]

Was the twin engined one an AMG?

[Toms306]

Yup they are, less than 10 second 0-60 and loads of MPGz!

Was looking at one on ebay last week and seriously considered it.

Edit - Too many replies before I posted, fail.

[Curt]

I assumed the OP was talking about a ForTwo.

[Jukie88]

The fortwo Bravia is quick as fook I have driven one they are quite cool looking aswell :-)

[MrMemzi]

It was the really small box looking one with the twin pipes. I think I just thought I was in the 205. Making race car noises. Then BAM MERCEDES RETARD MOBILE POWER

[Piggy]

the little two seater brabus...the city car!?

thats 88bhp. 103ft lbs of torque. 0-60 in 9.9seconds

[Toms306]

Its about 94bhp and 800kg if its the one I'm thinking of. 9.6s 0-60, a standard HDi wont beat that, I think a st1 would struggle tbh, they really aren't that quick.

[Piggy]

1.0 little petrol turbo with 88bhp is the latest smart city car

the roadsta may have more I spose

[Toms306]

No idea then, it was one of these I was looking at - http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/fa...007/37916/

[ADV_93]

A standard Smart car are quite nippy up to about 80 mph, and Brabus don't mess about

[cwspellowe]

Yeah but the book says 0-60 9.6s for a Brabus ForTwo. Which is barely warm hatch territory.

[MrMemzi]

All I know is for a teeny tiny car. I got pooped on. I was tempted to say wait here let me go fix my 205 you bitch. But yeh got eaten alive haha ohhh well.

Unless it's the diesel

[Piggy]

thats worse than the nad!

[bigcheez2k3]

thats worse than the nad!

First time I watched it I thought 'Ah that's not too bad' then I realised it was in km'h

[MrMemzi]

I think the diesel is the smaller lump like 600cc or something

[Toms306]

CDI in these is 800cc..... But only 45bhp.

0-60 is 19.2 seconds according to parkers....

Supposed to do 85mpg though, and free car tax......so not all bad.
