    Default My new DD

    Well I sold the Suzuki Im going to miss that car but it was for the best. Now I bought me a New 2010 Kia Forte Koup. I love it












    So what do you think I should do to it?
    I was thinking of changing rims and calling it a day.

    Huge step up. Love these in the oem blue.

    Did Kia design it's own motor for this or is it an R18 from a civic? They look really similar.

    I dont know if kia copied the civic motor. I know, I wanted it in blue but all that was available was black or burgundy.
