'13 Kia Forte Koup. *Rebuild Stages*


Recommended Posts

Let me start with this is going to be a somewhat slow build because of lack of tools and I live in college housing. But it'll get done eventually sooo....here it goes. Y

It was time to make that over-sized battery fit in that under-sized tray.

That was easy.

I could use the stock battery clamp too, it seeemed.... almost too easy.

Also, removed this annoying positive terminal cover....not exactly sure whether or not I want to put the pain in the ass back on though.

My wife has the 2010 model koup. I had to run wire on the passenger side thru the firewall. These damn cars rattle like crazy too. With hers I had to take out the vents to take out the factory cd player which is weird to me. Can't wait to see this build.

Not for at least 5k, probably 7.5k miles on a brand new ride.

Can't stand motherfuckers that clutter their ride like fucking hoarders.
