There is a site that is dedicated to KIA. There is a guy on here that mentioned it and has a KIA, or a buddy with a KIA that is done up really nice. If I come across the thread, I'll come back to this one and give you the site, assuming I don't get beat to the punch. LOL! It's a nice site for KIAs. Cool stuff. Unfortunately, I've only visited twice since learning about it and I haven't kept the site address written down for later use. I have customers that own KIAs. It'll come in handy for when they decide to do "EXTRAS" to their little cars. I still like how things have progressed for KIA. I hope it grows stronger.

It's streetkias.com, bro. I don't exactly know how much they do as far as selling parts and such, but I'm sure that they can guide you to sites that will cater to your ride. Even if they don't, it will give you better insight as to what you can do.
Most of what you may want for your kia may have to be a custom piece, but again, I'm really not too sure about that. I haven't built any kias. Looking forward to one, though. I'm playing the waiting game with my customers and my recently pulled back muscle. LOL! Mean time, I'm learning about all the things that are possible with a Kia so that I'm not talking out of my "A$$". You know? LOL! Good luck with the ride, bro.

Thank S12, we are partnered with KFXPeformance.com in terms of parts however sales have dropped lately. Economy I guess.

In terms of ECU flash we used to have a dude in Korea do a flash for us I'm not sure if that's still offered, it was upwards of $200 and then you have to send in your ECU and there is a 2 week turn around so get a spare ECU while you wait. Or you could do what I'm doing and run a Megasquirt. It's a little pricey to get it plug and play however it's worth it instead of splicing it into the OEM ECU module. That and the fact with the MS unit you can tune A/F ratio as well as other goodies on there as well as spark timing, air temperature, etc. I would def recommend looking into it. It's not completely ready to go because we've got some minor MAP problems to work out however it's nearly done.

Got questions hit me up on the SK forum
