Have been invited by a Cerato friend to join them in their meetups this Sunday... Date: 26th September 2010 Time: 1100hrs Venue: Kallang Leisure Park According to what I know, they are meeting up to chit chat, have breakfast and coffee together... Anyone keen? Would be great to meet up all the other Rios who have been active in forum, but not seen in meetups yet... Saw quite a number of Rios on the road, meaning I either don't mingle much or there's a lot of new faces... Don't be shy... stock, semi-modded, heavy modded all welcome... Photo taking or not, its not mandatory at all.. Most important is to make more new friends and make our roads more friendly... 1) Jes79 (82232832) 2) 3) 4) 5)

And I thought Picas and Ceratos have lots of aftermarket parts to get.... Mmm... So far, only access to ICE and cosmetic stuffs that's suitable for Rio... Performance stuffs like legal exhaust systems are almost non-existence now...

Dun like Speed7188 see, later he come in and rant on and on on the available mods for his Koup

cerato variant 2, want find a stupid centre arm rest top cover also need $198. u think leh?
luckily i dont have to buy it already. bodykit no ready part, 2din player connector not standard etc.......
at least others got cheap bodykit <$500.... likely cerato have to custom which likely exceeds $1k.
other than that, happy with the power thats all.... enough to kill egos on local roads.
actually cerato v1 part easy to find. v2 is more difficult less the repair parts.

Dun like Speed7188 see, later he come in and rant on and on on the available mods for his Koup I think forte is meant to be 'modified'... So much potential in that car.. but performance parts wise, I don't really find much.. Yah.. their stuffs are way more than the rest of the models.. but their cars are heavy... quite a number of them are quite dao.. whenever I see them on the road.. mmm... cos' their cars have more power? Compare V1/V2 and Forte.. which one has better handling, power-weight ratio?

Wow.. bro.. did you try JB for BK? I don't know.. but I find that there's quite limited stuffs to mod in Rio too... but then, market here is not too big.. so meaning not a lot of Rios are actually keen in aftermarket stuffs... If only supplies are like Forte... then no worries already... Strange.. how come still no LTA compliant exhaust system in Kia even till now? ?

YA BRO SOBS i feel for us. can u recommend some JB workshop? im going in tml for leather seat quotes. among V1 , V2 and forte, V2 imho has best power weight ratio. Same gamma engine as forte/avante but 121hp (Forte 124hp due to exos) yet lighter than forte. Also V2 has good "racing" cornering due to support on the lower carriage, i forgot what whitesnail told me the part name but it has 2 (i think individual axle or something) compared to other kia and hyundai similar offerings, only single. not sure abt V1 though. u want potential, avante got much more. same 121hp engine, even lighter body 1.1T and so much aftermarket sappork. i kinda like gamma engine as its response is rather good. though not as competitive has honda civics, but cheap thrill is better than no thrill

Arashi, ok... a bit ex.. TT motorsports is before TRC if you going from JB customs, they sometimes don't have the parts and have to wait for few days... Yea.. I did find that Avante has so much more aftermarket stuffs... sigh... Mmm.. V2 has potential.. would be good to have more parts to make it go faster, since its chassis and handling is good... I personally like the HB version.. Look so much more balanced than Rio.. Rio has a Big front, like big head, but small heart.. lol Good part about Rio is, its 1.4L.. so can save a bit on Road tax, fuel and insurance... Can borrow parts from Verna and Getz.. but it definitely has limitations unless I go TC and change the whole exhaust system.. Uncle Sam will surely aim me then...

rio stock has bad century sprint. but easily moddable. v2 is better but lack of ready aftermarket stuff... but the stability is better than avante. I wantd to go for impreza as low cg but 1.3t 109hp is just not palatable.
