Congrats!! Donald, aka ky-sephia, and his 2nd Gen Sephia. The Original Spectra/Sephia conversion. Donald aka ky-sephia is a Member you may have come across when searching for Korean parts. He runs a site of his own catering to the Korean brand with comparrison information and a bunch for the Kia and Hyundai brands. Take a look if you haven't already. koreangarage.com       I've known Donald aka, ky-Sephia aka, kentucky-kia for years now. He's a good guy to know and has done his homework since day one. If you want a quick opinion on what's the info on current models in the market in Korea, he's amounst the ones to have the answer. Donald's ride is like no other to date, on Streetkiaz or anywhere for that matter.. 2001 Spectra Performance Upgrades and Modifacations: Horsepower: 125(Rated) Torque: 109(Rated) 0-60mph: 10.0sec(EST) Engine Upgrades: Cold Air Intake Chasis Upgrades: Wheels Sport or Lowering Springs Performance or Race Shocks Front Strut Tower Brace Addtional Upgrade Details KFX Cold Air Intake Kosei K1 TS wheels 205/40 17 Kumho MX Tires H&R Springs KYB GR2 Struts Shark Racing Front Strut Bar KDM Emblems KDM Taillights M-Type Side Skirts MOMO Steering Wheel MOMO Pedals Polished Valvecover 2002 KIA Spectra Front Clip      Donald has many photos documenting his ride on his website. The ones posted were all that were submitted. I'd love to see more in the gallery, but at this point I'd settle for links.. you have some great photos. ..Now Donald dosen't have just one ride and his other should be comended on also. He's also the owner of a 2004 Hyundai XG350L. This is a very nice, clean ride and I like the stance too. Feel free to link or submit those as well. The Hyundai info: Year: 2004 Make: Hyundai Model: XG Engine: 3.5 DOHC V6 Weight: 3670(LBS Rated) PerformanceHorsepower: 205(EST) Torque: 217(EST) 0-60mph: 8.3sec(EST) Engine Upgrades: Cold Air Intake Chasis Upgrades: Wheels/Tires Sport or Lowering Springs Performance or Race Shocks Front Strut Tower Brace Rear Sway Bar Upgrade Exterior Upgrades: Rear Spoiler Addtional Upgrade Details: Dunlop Tires Adjustable Rear Endlinks Tinted Windows Tinted Headlights Tinted Taillights *Added Hyundai factory HID Headlights, not a conversion or a retro fit. *Added a OE 8-Disc CD Changer Nice listing..

Congratulations bro.   ..viewers be sure to visit the koreangarage.com for more details.

What just happened. I don't deserve ROTM. I haven't been taken good car of the KIA lately. I only drive about once a month. Ever since getting torquey XG I have been bored with the Sephia.
Even Though I don't drive it. I still pick up bargains for it where I can. A New rear sway bar was added this past summer. Once the XG is paid for I will start working on the KIA again. For Now a House payment and a Car payment on the XG has me tight for $$. Thanks for the ROTM.

Well deserved for the all the help you lend at every turn. It's nice to have someone around who will actually go snap a picture for you (or 20) when you need the info. You exemplify the "give-back" that helps others out.

Thanks Now If I can only get people to participate in The Korean Garage. I created it hearing that a lot of KIA owners were unhappy with how they were treated on Cardomain. So I created it to be similar to Cardomain, but free from the Hating Honda owners and Muscle heads. More up to date Alternate pick
