Kane Harrison
Mesh And Fit An Aftermarket Grill.
The original front grill is ok but the visual change of a new open grill makes the car look a lot better.
Metal-Monkey Custom Dials
These stainless steel dials are custom made by Metal Monkey and can be customised to your own designs.
MHD Belt Change
Jack the car up and remove the wheel to access the belt cover. Each end of the belt cover is a plastic plug. They are nice and easy to lever out... ...which releases the clips on the other side. With both plugs pulled down, the cover can be pulled from the car. You'll...
MHD Belt Failure
Again, the MHD engine proves it is badly designed and should be avoided.
MHD Breaks Regulations
MHD Legality Apart from MHDs being really poor, unreliable and a very bad choice, it would seem they are illegal to use as stated in the hand manual during the dark period between dusk and dawn (in the UK at least, I haven't checked regulations outside of the UK)....
MHD ECO Off At Start
The idea of MHD is OK but certainly not for everyone, wouldn't it be nice if it was off when the car was started.
MHD Starter ECO Fault
There is a new common fault on the 451 MHD that causes the starter to stop working
Michalak Sucker
This is a very popular type of air intake, less like a scoop and more like the original.
Mileage/KM Jumping Up
In my 20 years being on the smart scene, I have heard people randomly complain that the mileage/kilometerage (is that even a word?) has suddenly jumped up by thousands, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands over night. It's incredibly rare but I hear it at...
Mobis Lowline Stereo
Lowline or Entryline standard 1 DIN stereo as fitted to the face lifted 451.
Mocal I/C Pipes Review
These silicone pipes replace the rigid plastic pipes to and from the intercooler.
Mocal Intercooler Pipes
Mocal were the first proper full replacement IC pipes made for the smart in any great quantity. Due to Mocal’s great advertising (as in let’s not bother) they have been a well kept secret for over a year.
Motorcycle Engine Smart
Pros And Cons Of A Motorcycle Powered Smart I'll get straight to the point of this page. The only upside of having a motorcycle powered smart is that you can impress people you know who have a particularly low IQ. But Dey Is Well Quick Bruh! No, no they aren't. What...
Mousejacking – Defeat The Thief
This page covers how to adapt you car so it can't be mousejacked. This page isn't going to teach you how to actually steal a smart car. MouseJacking? It's a term originally coined when people physically hacked the computer mouse and keyboard. These adapted devices...
MP3 Player Holder
Somewhere to stick your MP3 Player
Nearside & Offside
Evilution's Nearside, Offside, Left, Right? Just to clarify. Nearside and offside are set sides of the car but left and right obviously change. Nearside and offside are old English terms so may not be known elsewhere. Nearside is the passenger's side on an RHD car....
No Alignment Wheel Change
The ESP cartridge on the 450 and Roadster can be annoying and tricky when you change the wheel.
No Throttle Response
I Have No Throttle Response 99% of the time I hear this, the alternator has just been changed and people are convinced they screwed something up during the fitting. Well, you did, we'll come back around to that in a bit. I Haven't Changed The Alternator Try cleaning...
Noisy Headlight Motors
It is becoming more and more common now that 450 headlight motors are playing up and making a continuous noise, annoying.
