sounds like the clutch killed the thrust bearing.

Does Performance Kia take Trade-In's? :P

wow thats pretty cool, how does it run? and why did u do that to the kia? did they want like a jump over everyone else, lol. looks good man.

Re: We'll the Kia finally made it to the showroom.
 

or just the gayness of the kia block. The pressure plate is what would put pressure on the thrust bearings, not the clutch- fyi.


Nice work Jeff, I'm digging the window sticker, sucks about all the problems though.

lol i bet it rusts out in the showroom before anyone buys it. Its not like kia dealerships draw the crowd that would even know what half the ---- on that sticker means. still digging the work though jeff, its tough to make ---- clean enough to sell at a dealership i bet.

hmm thats werid, the link changed for some reason..? I updated it

The pressure plate is OE painted black ;) aka "heavy duty" as Clutch specialities calls them with a 6puk sprung disc. The thrust bearings are really thin/small on these blocks so I'd assume this will probably happen again.

asking price is 13,900 and no Warranty. I'm thinking she'll be on the showroom for awhile. Tons of people look at it everyday though.

Is that a Mazda BP? Didn't they use those back in the day?

The majority of Muscle cars were built just to sit in the showroom to bring people in. So even if it does fall apart, you've done your job ;)

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.

Re: Well the Kia finally made it to the showroom.
 

she looks so beautifull sitting there...

that will definitely attract some people though..
