Hi Guys,

Have any of you had a software update for the KIA Koup to sort out the flat spots and throttle response - my dealer here in South Afirca say they are waiting for KIA korea to get the software to SA, apparently it is availible in Korea - is it availible at your dealers in the States.

There are software updates for the 2.0L engine (not very recent ones). I'm not aware of any for the 2.4 yet.

its a pity - love the Koup but the flat spots and throttle response is killing the car for me - going to fit a K&N and exhaust system soon, maybe that will help a bit???

i heard people having problems with that.... MOTOR mounts will help it A LOT from feeling like it falls on its face... and its electric throttle... so u need a ecu to adjust that to be perfect... Its ur throttle response dont cheap out with this do it urself technique

This is the mod I'm talking about: http://www.forteforums.com/forums/do-yourself-articles/1342-best-throttle-mod-ever.html

It is a sticky in the Do-it-yourself forum. I have not done this myself because I don't find it necessary. But the folks who have done it seem pleased.
