i told you he was pro

 

 

ya i don't think we could have gotten a closer color then that

 

hey!!

a newbie!!



what do you have?

assuming the "2.4" in the name pertains to your car;

• 2006-2007 SS/2.4
• 2008 Sport

Which one?

Kinda looks like arrival blue ~ but I could be mistaken.

Welcome to the Calgary thread none the less... (even if two others here apparently already knew you!)

ok... gotta go to be now...
(anyone who cares, look at the time stamp of this post!)

Just got back in from a great gig tonight!

...being a night-owl I dun-wanna go to bed though

 

holy jonathon, that must have been some gig last night

 

Hey, thanks for the welcome :P and yea it's a 2.4 2007 and it's lazer blue.

 

I kinda like the grille on that laser car, though the stock LNF one is still the best.

I'm on my phone so I can't really check butt believe there is a slight difference between this wing and the sedan high rise, there are a couple threads on this forum about it.

 

I like the chrome grill. I would have purchased that grill a while back if they made ones for the rear of the supercharged ones.

 

Thanks, it was a gift so I didn't have much choice but I like how it looks with metallic blue

 

welcome to

 

Thank you

 

New wheels on the Kia. Drop is next. http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t...-42-18_775.jpg

Next year I'll add these skirts and lip: http://www.forteforums.com/forums/at...68067968_n.jpg

And that'll be it probably, except for small things.

 

that sux guys..... anyways it was nice to meet you.... yes it does look good...

 

That red one looks amazing. To bad they didn't put like 260hp in those forte's

 

but even if they did would that change your view any?

(sorry for the next bit Adrian - I'm honestly happy that you got a new car, and that you are enjoying it)

They're still Kia's - which are entry level Korean cars;
Korean cars have a reputaion for being good daily drivers - not for being performance cars...
The closest you get to a 260hp Korean FWD car would be from another Asian company;
the Mazda Speed3;
those cars have a reputation for 'poping' engines on tunes...

The top contender in my books for a cool Asian coupe would be the 'Genisis coupe' - but I would insist on a four banger since it's a DD, and I would want the best mileage possible ~ but as 210hp... it's falling short from the mark.
Worth noting is that the Genisis coupe engine is the same one that the Forte gets ~ but isn't even anyone's 'in house' engine - it's an engine that was a shared development venture between Chrysler, Mitsubishi, and Hyundai...
(it certainly doesn't help that the GC is more money than the CSS was either)

I sat in pretty much all the sport compacts in last years' new car show - and granted some had softer leather seats or what not - nothing interested me even infinitesimally in trading in the Cobalt.

@Steve;
yup it was a gooder indeed... i mean it's not often I go out to begin with ~ so it had better be good

 

i like american cars. ive always grown up around them

 

Finally washed 2 weeks of dirt buildup and calgary off my car. Any snow there yet?


@Mark I need another SS Badge with Candy Red inlay...

 

nope no snow

 

wow... this car continues to be available... but just got cheaper by $400

2005 Chevrolet Cobalt LT Coupe - Calgary Cars For Sale - Kijiji Calgary Canada.

 

thats a good deal.... but yet it has one problem for me.... it doest have a sunroof.... need the sunroof....


no worries greg just let me know when your in town....

 

ill show this to my GF, needs a new vehicle..

 

Ya but look at Hyundai. They were also considered entry level a few years back but have since lost that reputation. They now have a rwd sports coupe a 70g luxury boat and nice genesis 4 door. They have the new economy velostar out and some decent midsize SUV's.

Kia needs to follow suit and get out of that shitty niche market and become a major player. And they could have started with a nice fast forte. Then as those owners grow older and need nice 4 doors and small SUVs they then start introducing higher end 4 doors and SUV's and grow their market share.

 

i wish i was doin this

 

hahahahaha^^^^

 

LOL and that kinda looks like you too mark! *jk*
