'13 Kia Forte Koup. *Rebuild Stages*


Recommended Posts

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.

Yeah, these vehicles are little pains-in-the-asses when it comes to working on imo. It just bugs me that I'm gonna have to rip out the entire interior of it just to run some power wire. >_>

WHy the fuck you got a gallon of oil in a brand new car?

I'm cheap....as fuck.....and need to change my oil ^.^

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.

I've got 6300 miles.....put that on it in 2 months, but all the excitement of driving it is finally out of my system. I can't either, I catch myself doin it sometimes and then dedicate a whole day to workin on the car :D today I just actually got a little shit done in it.

What the f**k is an appropriate signature supposed to look like?

Honestly if you plan on running 3 or more runs you will have to go under the car. I don't see it happening with any decent sized 1/0. As far as rattles go the back deck is a bitch... Only other thing that rattles bad inside car are my sunshades and map lights/sunroof controls. But of course on the outside my spoiler loves make srious fucking noise. One noise in particular that i didn't mention yet is the fucking vents in the trunk that relase cabin pressure... You will learn to hate those, i am seriously thinking of covering those with deadener.. Btw if you are wondering i have a 13 koup as well.

Luckily I don't have a spoiler :P And I'll only be doing 2 runs, 1 positive, 1 negative. I'm going to be sealing it off from the trunk, so hopefully I wont have too much rattly goin on outside. Sealin it off for the mother fuckin win. Always.

I wish I could do that, once I get the basic power plant and wires installed, I should be good to switch out subs until I find the exact sound I'm lookin for out of a system. But I wanna get something in there. STAT
