Hello all, been lurking for a little bit and thought I'd join the party. Just bought my wife a Steel Blue 2015 Forte5 SX 6mt in November and loving it!! Seems to have every option except nav, even has the better heated/cooled seats, moonroof, the works! Traded in a 2013 Soul+ 6mt for this as it's a little bigger on the inside and much more refined, sporty, more power, etc, etc. Two small kids so it's our answer to a minivan... She wouldn't settle for an automatic and I wouldn't settle for anything less than the turbo so we found a winner!
Excited to see a community and more importantly performance mods being brewed for this platform!! I'm extremely into BMW's and fast/turbo imports. My personal car is a 1995 BMW 3 series sedan with many mods including full poly suspension, 3.2L M3 engine swap and an aftermarket turbo system, should be pushing around 400whp @ 12psi when I get all the kinks worked out, only have 2k miles on the rebuilt engine and turbo setup. Bigger turbo would push 600+whp easy but that's a whole other discussion... it's my aggressive daily that will see some track time and drifting
Some pics:
and the Bimmer, pardon the ugly stock wheels That will be addressed ASAP
Happy to be aboard, apologize for all the boring BMW stuff lol Many, many plans for the Kia, I think I'm more excited about modding it than she is but she'll come around!
