Repairing Reluctors
The reluctor rings rot over time and can eventually cause ABS, Trust and ESP problems. New drive shafts are expensive so lets repair instead of replace.
Roadster 3to5 Stud Adapters
Increase the alloy wheel fitment possibilities by giving you the option to fit Mercedes or Audi alloys.
Roadster Alloys On A Fortwo 451
Fitting Roadster Alloys On A 451 OK, the important part 1st. You CANNOT just get a set of alloys from a Roadster and fit them to your 451. Why Not? The offset of the rear alloys would make them hang out of the rear arches by up to 2 inches. What Can I Do? You...
Slime Puncture Repair Kit
This was done on a 451 fortwo but similar can easily be done on other smarts. I bought a Slime Smart Repair kit from eBay. You get a compressor and puncture repair fluid. Option 1 I used a knife to carve out some of the passenger side polystyrene footwell block. The...

Wheel Alignment Settings
What Is Wheel Alignment (AKA Tracking)? Alignment is the angle, tilt and direction that the wheels and tyres face on the car. They are rarely dead vertical and facing dead straight as adjusting these figures can change the way the car behaves and handles. Negative...
Wheel Bolt Key Storage
If you have alloys and you aren't silly you probably have security wheel bolts holding your wheels on. These are replacement wheel bolts with a special design shape that matches a removal key. The removal key slots over the head of the bolt and allows removal of the...
Wider Front Wheels
The standard narrow tyres fitted to many of the fortwos causes severe understeer, you turn the wheel in a corner but the car goes straight on. You need wider front wheels and tyres for increased grip.
