Finally got CAI. Good deal too from my new compadre in GA, you've seen him on here his car is similar to mine only looks better and is now much, much, faster... SDOGOG!! Thanks man! Check it out on my MODS page.

Along with my video's link at the bottom of this page I now have videos within this site here on cardomain. They are spread out according to mods and the races I attend.

If your in the Myrtle Beach or even if your in South Carolina please check out SCR-SCCA. I finally figured out how to post a video within this website so we won't be redirected. The Auto-X page has a couple videos.

Check the dates in the links above to see when I updated them last! Keep coming back often as I always am thinking up new ways to modify my KIA!

Check out my videos Link at the bottom of this page. You'll see races and whatever else I feel like posting! I'll try to post some vids from India as well.

Click here to see Motorweeks review of my car with engine and perforance specifications as well.

Here is a pic of my KIA the very day I bought it... (in the background is my 1967 Chevy Impala) jmesutherland's 2005 Kia Spectra

And here is what it currently looks like... jmesutherland's 2005 Kia Spectra

Truthfully I wasn't much of a KIA fan previously but after seeing this car on TV and then trying it out at the dealership my wife and I deemed it a must have. With 138HP stock and an ok suspension the car even did great its first time out at the track. The 5-Speed is pretty close ratio so your drag times will suffer but if you Auto-X like I do you'll have lots of fun. Check out my racing pics page to see! Take a look at what we have done to the Spectra and keep checking back periodically as updates will hopefully be constant.

jmesutherland's 2005 Kia SpectraMy friends new Scion tC out on the track. Toyota made a pretty good car there with an awesome suspension and loads of torque. Take a ride with him here. You can also check out our misc videos and pictures from our hometown or whatever else we are up to at my personal website JMESUTHERLAND.COM.
