Kia Pride [MERGED]

[sk8termax]

KIADOHC on the protege tech philippines forum sells Mazda engines for the Kia Pride. they are drop-in replacements. around 20k siguro yung mga B6 na engine (1.6L DOHC or SOHC).

jtdc, regarding 6km/L on a Kia Pride: holy crap! 6.5km/L on my used Mazda 626 (which I think is already poor because i suspect it needs new O2 sensor, etc). maybe mali ang calculations mo regarding the mileage..

saan po pde mag papalit ng 1.6L mazda DOHC engines for kia pride xD hahaha newbie ))

[ghost_2192]

I have driven this car since 1992, di pa naman ako tinirik nito fuel efficient, depedable at times but there are times nasinusumpong din. Guys care to comment on this car "The Kia Pride".

Bakit ano balita tungkol doon sirain ba? Kindly tell us naman, oo nga pala sa mga Kia Pride lovers kindly share us your comments, experience on this car.

i think what A121 meant na mag-ingat is because many tend to "look down" on Kia Pride in terms of performance. these "upgraded" Kia Prides look so stock but surprisingly challenges and beats most modded to race cars. what's new in racing the usual brands like honda, lancer, toyota, etc. iba kapag ang sumisibak sa kanila eh Kia Pride.

back to the topic... for me its a nice simple economy car, not much bells and whistles, but fuel efficient, easy to fix, kahit saan may piyesa, madali isingit at i-park, hindi ganun ka-gastos ipagawa, its really more on the economy.

also, it has many options for upgrades and all, if u need speed and better performance. almost all info are there in KiaPrideTuning Club, the link was posted way above. if u own a Kia, better join the club

[ghost_2192]

I already sent an email to the people involved in the club kaso walang response eh. The site might be there kaso don't know if the club is still existing.

I saw the site whoa puro Mazda ang engine...:D

[baiskee]

i drove my sis' kia pride (company car) so stock na stock, ang tulin din eh...ang gaan kasi ng kaha...at syempre, company car kasi kaya ok lang pang hataw..:lol:

[tagalnasaabroad]

kung ako lang kia pride narin what with the low cost factor; stock fuel system is carburetor kaya mura maintenance, 1.1l stock engine, power steering naman + me all power options din;

I wont bet my money on second hand unit, though;

at the end of the day, family decision prevails.
sa kia picanto parin (or morning - korean name, doesnt really matter)..

Hi Guys, am new in this forum and i would like to seek some suggestions and recommendations regarding my 1997 kia pride GTX beta which i bought months ago. as far as the condition is concerned, i am very happy driving with this car. however, i have this delima in my a/c system, every time i turn it on it normally heat-up my engine and my temp starts to go up so quick(specially when i get stock to traffic). i just brought it to the a/c specialist but nothing seems to change... need ur advice guys...thanks...

[pobreparin]

Check the ff:
1. secondary fan if it is functioning. This should engage once the thermostat switch kicks-in
2. Thermostat switch. it should kick-in once the temp starts to rise
3. radiator condition. try to have it checked if it is not clogged


Question: 1. If you have a rpm meter, what is your rpm with and without A/C?

................ I had encountered this kind of problem before with my friend's car. Check your Cooling Fan (secondary) the one that starts to rotate when you turn ON your A/C, (check the fuse, electrical lines or the motor of the fan itself), if the secondary fan works well, better check the main radiator if it still functions... Have a nice Kia driving day!!
