Here is my complete build of my 2013 Kia Rio Hatchback SX Premium!
I bought the car in April 2013, it was one of only 3 avaliable in hatchback, in black in the entire US, and the FIRST sold in Nebraska or Iowa.
The list of modifications I had on it is as follows:
Motor
*hardeded Rear engine mounts
*full exhaust
*THE prototype Megan racing header
* Evilla Axleback muffler
*Custom no cat mid pipe with cherry bomb resonator
*Fully custom TRUE CAI with a K&N air filter
- Upgraded throttle body off a 2.0 velostor
Interior
*Custom spare tire box Rockford Fosgate 12"sub
*Nitro 1000 watt amp
Exterior
*“garage door” front lip
*Custom blacked out headlights
*Switchback LED DRLs
I will be adding more here as I get time and find the old photos!!
I sold the car as a trade in in January 2021 for my 2021 Kia Sorento SX Prestige X-line (build thread here: Coming soon!) It developed an engine knock of some sort and NEEDING a daily driver I could not afford to spend time at that specific moment to fix it.
