Back in the last week of March,09 My Girl friend & I went car shopping. She is a little frail with lots of Rhumatroid Arthritis, I had to lift her into the Truck & Help her get down to the ground, And getting in & out of Her work car, Honda Civic was a real task! We ended up with a Smart 4-2. It was of her chose.Totally. I finally drove it and said Patty , we have to do something her. This thing is a pooch!!! The lag between gear shifts was not exceptable too me. Patty seem to have it down, and was much smoother.
I did some looking on ECU performance Flash's. There was several Tuners out there offering an ECU performance update / flash's.
I chose Veloce . Why? Dino , Offered, removal & Install Instructions. Always answered E-mails & returned Phone calls, Great Communications Dino!!
I took the car to the local Chassis Dyno Shop. McDonald Performance in Stuart , FL.. The car pulled 63 RWHP. I then removed the ECU ( Real easy , even for a novice) And sent it off to Dino.
When I got it back , I installed it back into the car. I turned the car over to Patty, ( I never drive the car 1st) She did the road test!!
And came back with a Big Smile
Then I drove it about a week later. I got to say. The car responded to throttle input , Shift lag was Minumized. & motor pulled through the RPM Band much faster. The Butt dyno saya Yeah. I 'll be posting the dyno sheets soon. I just have to get back McDonalds Performance.
Dino!! I'm very Pleased
