What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[Paul32]

Man she looks hot! Very shiny what’s your secret? Like the pinstripe.

Maybe Camedia Master Olympus software. I got the same question from someone at the show. After wash, I do use quick wax, the one that does not film up. Also use waterless wash some times. Quick detail also.

Hope they stay on with the heat under there. Did you clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol first?
I have 2 of them , still wondering where to stick em, looked at chrome door sill but they were too high.

Any noticeable difference in road noise reduction after that?

sorry, i don't know yet. I have my ECU out getting tuned, but it will be back tomorrow.

You could always get the undercarrage sprayed with rubberized undercoating, that along with what you've done would probably make a big difference.

Yes, sure.....

Didn't consider the heat factor and I drank the alcohol instead....

Honestly, I couldn't tell. I've been driving in eco mode the past 2 days and I've only driven it to run quick errands. It does sound good. Around 1500 RPM you can barely hear it whistling without any music on, but as you pick up speed it gets louder and you can definitely hear the boost building up. By that time, I am already 10 over the speed limit so I had to release the gas and pshhhhh is all you hear.

 

[NS_Stinger]

So you can hear the whistling and wastegate during regular driving or do you need to be heavy on the throttle?

You don't need to be heavy on the throttle to hear it. If you turn down your music, you can definitely hear it at 1500 rpm. As you go faster, you can hear it build up. The pshhhh factor is much louder if you accelerate hard - you might scare the cars around you, but you can hear it in both cases.

Here's what I did to her, on day 3 of ownership (around 60hrs after signing paperwork and driving her home):
Don't panic. She has 800 miles on her.

My RT sucks but the middle two were in Comfort mode!!!! I forgot to put in sport, and wondered why it felt like it bogged down after following the LC procedure. Figured it out for run 4. My daughter (C5) and her uncle (Z28) do this once a month or more. I have 3 or 4 outings over the past 5 years.

No tune yet. Still debating on which way to go. But even with out it, there is a noticeable difference.
