i think he said something to his boss about how they're called performance kia, but yet, they have nothing "performance" wise on their lot. so he was given a chunk of change to go to town on a base model. ...or something to that extent.
Actually it has nothing to do with that. I was bored one day and hardly making any money so I made up a quick bid on a couple used spectras and rios on our lot for HMT style turbokits and he said "sure why the hell not"... My boss (now the general manager) is probably one of the coolest bosses around, everyone in the dealership loves him. He's a very fair person and has brought me a very long way in that company.

Hows it run? it runs ok, it felt pretty decent when it was at 10psi, but the 5psi is pretty lameo, probably about the same speed as a stock gsr. It's good for 2nd gear burnouts though

My friend has an 03 rio that he beats the ---- out of every day and he has been through 3 engins in a year. At least the factory pays for new ones.

I guess the kia engineers have been spending too much time copying Mitsubishi Its awesome that your boss lets you plug the site too, especially with the kia in the showroom
