The sleeper 'hot hatch' that scares Mercedes AMG owners...
Вставка

- This is the ultimate tuned sleeper hot hatch that scares Mercedes AMG owners, the Stage 2 Kia Ceed GT. An unexpected rival, but when its boasting its 260bhp and its light, front wheel drive body, it can certainly entertain the likes of the A45, Golf R, i30N & Fiesta ST.
We take this lovely car for a drive to demonstrate its power capabilities alongside its drivability, comfort and just general car-y-ness! The classic 'but it's a Kia' line gets thrown around loads, which is great when you keep up with 'em. This is the ultimate sleeper car. Building on the power the engine creates from stock along with all the sportier feeling components, this car certainly doesn't disappoint in any aspect.
Mods list for if you wanted to make this concept a reality:
BSR Intake
Forge Motorsport Recirc Valve
Wagner Intercooler
Jetex Exhaust + Sports Cat
Stage 2 Regal Tune

Thanks for watching my videos! - Спорт
Just recently bought a Ceed GT and wow wasn’t expecting the whole performance the car gave
Nice vid! This setup kicks @$$.
Sick whip! 🤘
Sick ride Lewi!
I got an old 1990 gen5 Celica I screw around with.
Tuners are the best.
looking good man 😃
Cheers dude!
Nice car, I've always kinda thought these were slept on. Reminds me of my stage 1 Focus ST; not the fastest on the road but holds up against other hot hatches. The intake noise on yours sounds epic!
Yeah definitely the best way to describe this one I reckon! Intake noise definitely sounds incredible over stock 👌🏼
@@LewiPilgrim Hey, any info on the intake?
Yes, lad! Was waiting for this. As you know I picked up a Proceed GT recently. Would love to get mine where yours is. When can we meet up so you can share your wisdom? 😂
Any chance you'd have the link to the recirc valve, I have a proceed GT I'd like to have sounding like yours
Talking about spliiters i had one on my Rio made it low asf and it flew off on the motorway Thankfully no one got hit :D
Now thinking of getting another one but recently started going to more remote places to ride bikes and it involves a bit of offroad action dont want to rip off the whole bumper now but once you have a splitter you cant go back to not having it
Thinking about to buy one ceed gt exactly like this or a proceed tech 1.6, crdi but full spec with extras
How much did the tuning and mods add to your insurance?
Great video bro. You got the same weathershields as me too. I drive a 2014 Proceed GT. High flow intake with K&N panel filter. (Will be getting pod filter soon) GFB Diverter valve. Stock intercooler with IC resonator delete. HKS Ruthenium race plugs. 3" stainless Catback exhaust. I have a 3" dump pipe with 100cell cat to be installed later this month. A really good mod i may suggest is the Whiteline Motorsport Engine/Trans pitch mount bushes. They give you heaps more traction (biggest benefit for me) and engine response is instant. It also makes the gearbox more smooth and you can hear your transmission whine more, which is cool. Ot is very cheap too, $30 or so. Anyway. I like your Ceed 😎
Can you link me that mount that you are describing, I don’t seem to be able to find it, thanks
Hi lewi, i am buying a gt tech and was considering a tuning box ,was the company based near you down the a12? Was looking to get
Sports cat
Gfb blow off valve
Airtec induction
Tuning box
Pedal box
Blow off valve and intake kit are super easy to self install! The sports cat you could get done anywhere that does exhausts to be honest. As for the tuning box, I’d personally steer clear. I put one on mine before I got it mapped properly and it kept throwing overboost faults and made the car actually stall a couple times whilst driving. Super weird!
@@LewiPilgrim thanks for the advise I'm new to the Kia GT, I'm used to German and jap cars. have you tried a pedal box on yours?
We don't have that car here in the US, but it looks like a bucket of fun.
KIA Forte is sort of an alternative for US. For a similar performance , you can also check the Hyundai Veloster Turbo. It has the same engine.
How did you get the flutter? I have the exact same set up with the BSR and forge BOV but mine makes more of a psshtt than a flutter 😂
Yeah mine just does more of a flutter sound under full boost. Otherwise makes the noise you’re describing. Put the stiffer spring in it though, that made it flutter more often for me!
I use to have a stage 1 235hp one, she was awesome and unexpected, i regret it...
Unexpected what??
Nice car didnt have any idea what you talking tho obviously a enthusiast vid lol
Thinking of getting one would you recommend? What's the mpg average
Definitely! With the tune it’ll do 42mpg on motorway runs and a realistic 25-30 city driving. You can get it above 30 with extra nice driving but you can see 20mpg if you have too much fun
love a sleeper, cant beat a car that's boring to look at but can upset a lot of more expensive badged supposedly fast cars, back in my youth a long time ago i drove a rover 620Ti, looked like something your grandad would drive but had 218bhp which was a lot for a family car back in the late 90s surprised a lot of expensive sports cars, i miss that car.
i bought this car not long ago. and so far i love it. mine is stock with 204 hp and im thinking of doing a stage 1 to it. but is this safe to do? can a 1,6 handle this without any problems?
Hi, Just do it! Mine has a stage 1 tune and runs 242HP. The car handles it very well:)
What kind of things will be done to get the car stage 1? And is it possible to get it done by Kia?
I bought a 15 plate one and the engine started knocking after 2 days, took it to Kia who said it's fucked and needed a new engine and after having it a month said they wouldn't do it under warranty so now deciding what else i want to get instead🙃
im between this and a 2017 Clio RS. Which is a better overall?
Depends on price really. The clio will be better if you take price out the equation 100%. Not sure how much the Clio costs but I’d weigh it up when looking!
A Kia that smokes BMWs.. insane
How much was the total cost of all this ?
Roughly £1000
You need a throttle controller trust me
So what kind of horros stories is there for the 1.6 T-GDI? I thought it was the only sporty and reliable engine for Kia/Hyundai.
Think the title is MORE than pushing it.. 👀 My stage 1, 2.0 diesel makes 30 more bhp than that 😅
Nice little car but not even in the same hemisphere as and AMG...
Definitely not the ceed. But Stinger is definitely a great contender. Seen it smoking several German performance cars
With luck it won't blow up within 12 months. Kia is trash build quality. Stay away if you have any sense.
I'd agree with you on older models but KIA have come a long way in recent years. There are loads of them on UK roads and they are a very well established brand at this point.
Trash build but have a 7 year warranty from new ????? How's that trash ????? are you deluded????
trash car
