Being this is a Kia thread, how about some history here. 1957 K360 Tri-cycle Kia Heritage through the years.

Very nice and lots of potential. Course in my modern way of thinking my friend, I would be looking at making this a sleeper EV. In Wheel hub motors behind those rims for AWD with a proper battery pack and then other than room for any other needed things like a heater or AC, make the front into a frunk. Then cruise around blowing away newer cars and trucks.

@oldshurst442 Truly EXCITEMENT!!!

Awesome price for a crate motor and the engine kit especially when you compare it to the GM performance crate motors. Would be nice if they did a complete powertrain setup like GM so you have a properly matched Transmission.

@Drew Dowdell Awesome Thank you for clearing that up as the web site is not clear and the forums seems to be unclear also about the 6 spd. Even Jeeps descriptions tends to imply cvt. Great to know they totally dumped the cvt crap tranny's.

Update, found more info, seems they are almost identical but the 9 spd is a true gear transmission as the builder offers these pics. ZF (spd Transmission

Interesting as I discovered playing with the configurator. If you are FWD on the Compass you get their so called 6 speed CVT transmission. If you go 4x4, you get the choice of a manual or 9 speed transmission. Weird Part is their 9 speed appears to be the same picture as the 6 speed cvt. Their web site does not seem to really state that the 9 spd is a true gear transmission, but it could be with the new tech in packaging. Have to dig into this more as I always thought the 9 spd was a true gear transmission.

Awesome Post @balthazar Very cool to know they had these 100 years ago. The rest of the world tech is finally catching up.

Agreed, while I loved the interior room of my Son's Patriot, both him and I do not miss it or the weird crazy flaky CVT transmission.

Amazing how people see flighty things, it should make them think twice how people will perceive them.

1) I am fine with that, very cool to get deals on Auto stuff. 2) Scince I pay to help support an awesome forum, this does not bother me. I hope you can find a good balance with making some money to support the site with ads. It should pay for itself.
