  2. Kia Forte 2.4L Engine Discussion
    Hey everyone, my 2.4L Koup has been leaking oil for a little while now but it seems to have gotten worse. I noticed the leak was on the passenger side and looking at it, that's where its damp on the engine it looks like. A friend of mine suggested that it may be the front main seal but isn't...

    Hello, I’m new to this forum and also new to owning my 2016 kia forte koup sx. My driver side master control switch doesn’t seem to be working. I have no control over my driver side window, mirror adjustment, and lock. I’m hoping it’s just a fuse and if so does anyone have a diagram for it or...

    2010 koup. Im currently am using what I assume are the stock wheels 215/45/17 but I was planning on running 215/60/16 or even 215/65/15 if they fit because of the garbage roads where I live. The wheel forums didnt have 16 or 15 inch from what i saw do they not fit? I want to get some smaller...
  5. Koup General Discussion
    hi, I recently bought a 2011 kia forte koup with the 2.0 engine. I bought the car with a knock and when I pulled the engine and took off the valve cover I found that my camshafts where rusting in a few places, what look to be like a misting of water on the cams and thick milky oil built up in...

    Hey guys my rear brake line(s) failed recently on my 2010 Koup and I’m having a hard time trying to get the shield off that covers it. I think I know where the leak is but I just want to confirm. Does anyone know what sort of fittings and line I need? I got some buddies that can help out and...
  7. Koup General Discussion
    hello. I bought a 2011 kia forte koup with a blown 2.0 liter engine. I was looking into replacing the engine and was wondering how hard it would be to swap in a 2.4. I have the 6 speed manual transmission with it and I think that the trans should go with any engine but I'm not sure about it. is...
  8. Koup General Discussion
    Hello! This is my first post and hope someone can help me. Yesterday I tried to star my car in the morning but it looked like the battery was dead, the car wouldn’t start and I heard kind of an electrical noice but nothing happened. The dashboard lights just slightly dimmed. Also I noticed the...
  9. Koup General Discussion
    I am starting a build thread for my Koup. I have posted two other threads previously one for an exhaust and another for a short shifter I installed. So I thought it would be a good idea to start my own sort of build thread for the projects I do with it. I'll link the two previous threads here...
  10. Performance Modifications
    Just finished installing a short shifter for my Koup. It makes a huge difference! Most of the play has been removed and the travel has been cut in about half. It also removes the hugeeee travel from 4th to 5th and 5th to 6th. I did take photos during the uninstallation However not so much during...
  11. Koup General Discussion
    I just recently got the SX-R Package exhaust installed on my car. I will have photos up soon. I wasn't able to take photo's during the install because I had to take it to the shop since the previous owner must have had an exhaust leak right where the axle back meets the mid-pipe, at the flange...
  12. Performance Modifications
    I have been looking at the megan racing cat back and the turbokits.com cat back for my 2010 koup sx. I am working on a bit of a budget since this is my first car but I have a bit of money saved up to do a couple things. I was going to pull the trigger on the megan one but I am worried it might...
  13. Performance Modifications
    I was looking at getting a front strut bar for my 2010 koup sx. I've seen the Ultra Racing one, AEM, and ARK Performance once but I was wondering is there really any big difference between them? Would one be better then another or could I just base my decision on whatever one I like the most...

  15. Koup General Discussions
    I'm pretty new to wiring and I don't currently have a multimeter to test. Does anyone happen to know which side of the fuse has power in the Forte Koup? I'm trying to add a fuse to the cigarette lighter but don't want to put the fuse in the wrong orientation and damage anything. If anyone knows...

    Ok so a little background, I am in no ways a mechanic or engineer. I am a tinkerer and a hobbyist and I am trying to learn about car modding. My first project is to install a DIY Boost gauge on my 2014 Forte Koup SX. To achieve this I plan to use an Arduino and a pressure sensor to measure...
  18. Koup General Discussion
    Hey guys, I’ve recently turned into a father so my 2010 forte KOUP sx will unfortunately have to go. It’s been great to me and hasn’t had many problem, but over the last year it seems it took a turn for the worst. muffler detached at the connection point, gas leak from the tank itself, cracked...
