Smart Car Build, Part 4 - Bilstein Struts, Treasure Maps and More Tears.

Happy Valentine's Day. In this video we try to install new struts.
Let's be real- Smart car builds are silly but still present their fair share of difficulties. We are not going to pretend that this series is anything other than a chance for us to make fools of ourselves, but we hope people enjoy watching us suffer. And, if you decide to embark on a Smart car build our video series should serve as a roadmap of what not to do.

Installing a Daystar lift on my 2011 fortwo took about a week. I'm now installing the Bilstein struts.

Good video. Taking apart the smart for something as mundane as shocks is most of the work! A crazy, cool but frustrating car all in one. That is why we love it.

I am not having the same amount of fun watching as I would if I could do it.

I don't know if you ever had to get the front struts out of a smart car there's no room and if those top bolts are rusted out good luck true story Monkey C monkey do I love youtube

That stuff is food for the hamster that runs around the wheel in the engine.

Good evening. I need to increase the height of my smart ... Just making it a little taller. Can I just replace the tyres ? Or I need to replace the tyres and something else ?

Pretty sure you can make the tires a bit larger. Eventually you will run into problems where the wheels rub on the car's body.

@@TheStockpile Tks. Will try to find some tires.

10:09 mins ( well to be honest only 3:38 ) of my life wasted watching this
