What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

Wait...I thought you had the titanium EVC exhaust installed.
I sold it!
The EVC control used the OBDII port, so I had to get rid of it when I got the JB4.
The main advantage of that exhaust was the fact that it was drone-free, but I wasn't really satisfied by the sound, so it was not a very difficult decision.
(except the fact that I had to sell it 1K$ lower than purchase price for ~4 months of use)

Oh. I forgot to mention another "what did you do".
I installed a Racechip XLR pedal commander.
Very well finished product. I know it doesnt increase the power but it allows to fine tune the pedal response to my liking.

There are 7 settings:
Eco+,Eco,Normal,Sport,Sport+,Race,Race+

I found that Comfort mode and Sport setting is perfect for daily driving.

Have you tried putting your car into Sport mode with Race+? Does the throttle become super sensitive and you feel like you're flying?

Of course, that was the first thing I tried. :laugh:
Sport mode and Race+ is simply crazy.

Nice! I've been holding off on getting a tuner, but this XLR pedal commander may meet my current needs.
 
Put her socks on!

Perfect fit, and no issues at all getting them on with the filters installed.

You have filters for your filter :)
 
I installed Injen Intakes today. It was a snap thx to the YT video by "Quick and Dirty" and the occasional look at the written instructions. It took about an hour and a quarter but I did it in the parking lot at my yacht club so I had a few chatters come to...well chat.

Could’ve been worse, it could’ve looked like this.

Also you should’ve pulled over into that bus bay on the left and let him pass instead of blocking him until the roundabout. If they’re running lights and sirens seconds count.

Yeah could have been worse but i was not blocking them at all, for one the were way back when they appeared and they only could catch up when i slowed down as i came close to the roundabout as anyone would, when i saw them they were right on my ass and there was no siren going and trust me when i say they do it a lot around here in my neighbourhood
anyway then and it was better to just turn off to the roundabout and for them to continue on.
all in all even from the moment my rear webcam picked them up to the turn off is just matter of a few seconds and there was no siren going at all, so when they finally caught up with me i was already in the roundabout to turn and so i did.... you see the bus stop bay in the front webcam video from the beginning and when you see the the bus bay the cop car is not behind me yet nor was i until i saw them in my mirror.. all matter of seconds
so there was no blocking at all and the bus bay is only two meters from the turn... it's so easy to be someone looking in from the video and think what if, than when driving looking at it what was in front of me and what was the best option on the spot.
I know it was the right choice then but i respect each to their own!

Do you have 2 for front and back?

Yes there are two Cameras one at the Front and One at the back
they are Recording at the same time in separated video files stored on the cloud as well as on the micro card
and all can be accessed via wifi on your phone, tablet or computer in HD with many other features too!

the uploaded Video was posted here as fun intended
i did not see the cop car until it was flashing on my cars ass lol
but the webcam had captured it clearly from any kind of perspective to how it was and for that, right or wrong
i am more than happy to have that protection with me when i drive!

Maybe watch your video again. They come into view on the rear cam as soon as you make the left turn near the start of the video so in reality you should’ve given way to them at that intersection but it appears it’s on a bend so I’ll cut you some slack. The bus bay is well before the roundabout certainly not 2 metres as you claim and is the only suitably safe spot to pull over prior to the roundabout. Your rear camera shows him right behind you as you’re passing the bus bay so you should’ve pulled over there. From your response it appears you didn’t see them until late which would indicate you’re not scanning your mirrors which is common but frustrating for emergency services because everyone drives with their head up their arse and doesn’t pay attention to their surroundings meaning often failing to yield for an emergency vehicle. With your music going you’re not likely to hear a siren until they are right on top of you but I appreciate it sounds louder than it may have been in the video due to the proximity of your dash cam to a speaker and the sensitivity of the dash cam microphone. With sound deadening in cars these days combined with music etc it’s hard to hear a siren which is why some departments in the US, and Fire & Rescue NSW use the rumbler siren (google it) but VicPol certainly don’t. If they didn’t have a siren on as you claim then it’s still irrelevant because the flashing lights mean you have to yield for them, there are a number of reasons why police will run lights with no sirens and it doesn’t matter how often they do it in you’re neighborhood you still have to give way. You are right it was in effect only a matter of seconds but like I said in my original post in an emergency seconds count. You have no idea what they are responding to and what the risks are. The point of my post was not to tear you apart but to make you look at the video and think about your driving so that perhaps next time an emergency vehicle is behind you with lights/sirens going you might pay a bit more attention and let them pass earlier. It won’t kill you to pull over early allow them to catch up and pass, but not giving way and slowing them down may very well be fatal for the person they are trying to get to.
 
no mate i make no claim and that is also your opinion
i go on just the fact and i was there
YOU an say what you like on what you see but the fact is the lights don't even show on the rear webcam until i am already turned into the road and mind you i did not see them until i'm down the road just past the bus stop that how it was ... if others would have done different perhaps and so would have i in another time but not how it went down
We all experts after the fact on someone else but all good ...you feel good about it that's all it matters!
i Know the law and i obey it to the letter... to pull on the side or stop/give way, when its safe to do so and if it was there or not i can only react to when i see it hear it and is safe to do so... and they would have used the siren or horn and they did not as the only where right behind when i turned off and they would have had to slow anyway to go through the worst i hold them back 2 or 3 seconds and it would have been the same if i pulled on the bus bay as it was a narrow one line and i would had to slow before with perhaps same effect only two meters before
anyway that is that and i moved on
NO Life was Lost or Crime committed. lol
 
Do you think it might do anything to help get the car off the line a bit quicker?
Maybe .02 seconds quicker.:D I like the fact that I barely have to press the pedal to accelerate. The gas pedal just seems more fine tuned.

Nice. Improved feel is always a good thing:thumbup:
