Attention all Kia Rio owners!!

[gothculture]

hey peeps!:wavey:

Im planning to create a Kia Rio only car club as we currently don't have one in existence. Through this, we could share all sorts of information ranging from modifications to spare parts and chop shops to further enjoy our rides since its relatively rare and not to forget the occasional TTs and expeditions to foster closer ties among Rio owners.

P/S If you know of anyone be it family members or friends who drives a Kia Rio, pls do in form them of such intentions aight?

**all Kia Rios from 2001 onwards are free to join...

I need at least 10 Rio owners for the proposal of a Kia Rio club to be formed.

(Why a Rio only club?Cause we are an indeed rare species on malaysian roads!)

cheers guys!!

hope to receive much support!

HI Ian,

It is very kind of you. I'm 1 on of the rio owner. I own a 1.3 Rio 2004 with new facelift. been searching for any local group for rio couple years ago but doesnt meet one. I had joined singapore RIOSTER club(if i not mistaken) but not active due to distance and most of the event they made held in singapore or johor only, while i'm staying at K.L.

Really appreciate if i can be a member of your new RIO club. hope other RIO owners will join this club.

i can be contacted at email : [email protected] or i will try my best to update any news about this club through the thread.

Thank You

WAN (WLT 2692)

sry 4 d late reply but dis thread has been quite dead for sum time thts y i never bother to check...tot d idea of a Rio club can b buried for good..haha...

its really nice to know that u guys own Rios as well n andy has a workshop of his own...cool!

so let's start d ball rolling...

any idea wat to name d club?i.e. :
Kia Rio Owners Club(KROC)
Kia Rio Club Malaysia(KRCM)

so currently theres like 3 of us ler...
1. Ian
2. Wan
3. Andy

but we need more...hmm....

what do u suggest andy abt forming dis club?

i was just thinking...
i think d main problem with forming dis club is getting d amount of cars needed cuz i can hardly c hw 3 of us constitutes to a club...haha
plus, if we can get sum form of affliation to andy's Trial Dyno, things shud kick off quite well...
hmm...
so d question really is...how to get at least 5-10 Rios?

[ni_juan82]

Ian n andy,

i like both idea of promote the suggestion to Naza m'sia club and also maybe we can workout some design of flyers. We can distribute them to any rio that we meet. also maybe Andy can put the flyers at his shop plus with the reistration form. How's that.

thanks,

wan

Hi Guys,

I dont mind using my workshop for any club activities. The problem i foresee is getting more Rio owners! To be honest, i seldom see any Rios on the road nowadays. Come to think of it, i saw more Rios in Ipoh than in KL during the CNY holidays. All with Perak registration numbers. I know quite a number of car clubs like the Altezza boys, the Celica boys, E-kereta club and etc. They are all my regular clients for Trial Dyno Works and also Trial Tuning Spirit Malaysia.

Let me know how i can help.
