  • This is the ULTIMATE SLEEPER. Imagine getting gapped by the smallest car on the road today and not knowing what happened. This is Eric's Turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa swapped Smart Car and it's an absolute riot! The US might not have loved the Smart Fortwo as much as Mercedes hoped, but thankfully we were crazy enough to make them fast. With a motor capable of 600HP - this thing even turned down is one word - sketchy.

      Crazy weird shit like this or builds that people would never think to do are what appeal to me now. Car culture has basically turned into something thats just so void of personality and uniqueness in terms of builds. Its all basically copy and paste with builds now.
      I can honestly see how theres a growing number of people who are falling out of love with the car community. Theres really no room for new ideas because many now think the car world is about being fast for the internet, takeovers, caring about only buying light cars to modify, throwing body kits on everything and just seeming very one dimensional and a walking stereotype. I really checked out of many car youtubers years ago when Paul Walker died just simply because they wouldnt drop it 2 or more years into his death. That and so many of them wanting to live that F&F fantasy life also got to me. Like I said, many in the car community just come off as very 1 dimensional when it comes to cars.

    Motorcycle gearboxes are basically sequential gearboxes. You could clutchless shift this by pre-loading the shifter and letting off the throttle a little, but it does wear the gearbox a little faster same as on a sequential. Best option would be installing a quickshifter, they're very common on bikes.

There's nothing like them.
