1994 Kia Sephia LS review from North America
"Costly to fix up, but worth it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well first when I got the car, the clutch went out and I replaced it with a triple disk after market ram clutch.
After that I had to replace the mass air sensor because I blew it out by having too much horse power. Then I broke a CV joint.
General comments?
I think the KIA Sephia is a good car if you like to pay huge amounts of money too fix it up.
Right now I've got my 94 Sephia lowered with 2 inches of ground clearance.
I got a NOS wet spray system with twin t66 turbos and a 6 inch exhaust.
It has 18 inch rims with a 12 inch aluminum spoiler on it. All in all I've put over 50 grand into it since I bought it, but it's worth it, it does the quarter mile in 10.45 seconds, which is pretty good.
