"I love KIAS and they crush hondas"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Routers are warped, but with 61,000 miles on them of course they are going to warp.

Dashboard looks like it's burned -- looks like someone took gasoline to the dashboard and lit it.

General comments?

The car is very quick. I have had a few performance parts put on the car and it runs great! I'm pulling almost 200 hp on a stock engine with a few mods to cams and cam gears, cold air intake headers to full back exhaust.

When I first got the car, it was very torqey and had great speed for a stock engine. This car is a great import to fix up and race, it was beating v8 trucks and cars on a stock engine.

I have never had major problems with the car, except the clutch going out, but that was my fault for beating a stock clutch. It only cost $450 to put in a stage 3 racing clutch. Performance parts are very cheap for Kias, compared to a Honda or other imports.

Your claim that you were beating V8 cars and trucks with your stock Kia Sephia is so ridiculous it needs no rebuttal.

But the only Hondas your KIA would ever crush would be the ones that it is put on top of after it winds up in the junkyard.

If it is not there already!

It's funny you say that, my KIA has torn apart just about every Honda it's come across. The only ones that it hasn't beaten are the modded Honda's.
