The Kia is getting reborn again, getting the cage in, more updates to come. Over the past 2 years of absence from here the KIA has had a bit of Engine Work, and a full Nitrous Kit with Progressive Controller. I put the interior back in just for comfort, Still have the Kirky Seats and Belts stored away. Need new Belts per the rule book.

It was fun tweeking every bit I could out of it too. Was really surprised just how much you can gain from just small adjustments. Good info to have for the next go round. They finally make a few performance parts for them. Cant wait to try a few of them out. The fastest The Kia has gone is 142 mph without the 100 shot put on it. Working on the ECU and progressive Controller for the Nitrous System, and finishing out the Full Rollcage.

Only about 120 in the mile. There have been a few engine changes since 2009. Just reinstalled the 100 shot with a progressive controller. Still have to install the piggyback ecu and programmer. A new Cam setup, bigger clutch and heavy duty CV shafts, motor mounts and coil packs. Trying to buuld a new intake set up with equall length runners is in the works. Learning to TIG Weld to fab the final product. Starting to get serious about running the KIA again. And that's 140 without Nitrous.

Randy - Here's a thought, learned from the Camaro. I'd take the bar from the halo to the floor (A-pillar bar) (especially on the driver's side) and bend it so it hits the floor way up under the dash. It would make it a TON easier to get into the car. Some day you'll be old like me and folding up to get in the car will not be easy. Once it's all welded up it's a lot harder to change.

Bright red roll cage on a black car with gray interior is kinda like saying "HEY LOOK AT ME, I AM A RACE CAR!!!"
I understand the down bars design is to not cut up the dashboard, but they look like they suck to get in and out of the car. Since you put the stock seats back in for comfort, it sounds like you are driving the car on the street. It's a lot more work for those two bars but they will be worth it in the long run.BS'er formally known as Rebeldryver
