What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[BIG-D]

Well then someone either had their troll account merged or they changed their name??

Car was due back home yesterday and of course that didn't happen, so let's see if i get it back on Monday

They gave me a 7 seat SUV for the week lol, at least it has a turbo

Installed these badass GFB 9012 BOV with the whistling trumpets. They are pretty loud but sound like you are shooting a photon torpedo. I might put the stock trumpets back on not sure. I run the bov in mostly recirculation mode anyway so whatevers. But I really love these bov when you run them in full recirculation mode. High quality and they look nice n stealthy mostly. I've been trying running them in 50/50 settings and just experimenting.

Yay got my car back from the Panel Shop.

Just like a brand new one again and fitted my AEM intake finally...

 

[BIG-D]

LOL i need to remove the K&N stickers and fit the AEM ones hahaha

From the looks of them, those cone filters are probably OEM'ed by K&N.

Seriously, if you look up the dimensions on K&N's online catalog, there might be one that is identical.

Different inlet and width bro... i posted pics back to back here somewhere... plus these are dry filters and as such much louder lol i love em'

Took it into KIA for an appraisal and back trade into a Picanto GT Line...

Gonna have some items for sale soon probably?

Well I still have it ... for the moment gotta at least fit the intercooler and take photos first.

Alright brains trust, my steering feels different since I picked it up the other day.

I reset the battery yesterday, but this morning it feels I dunno a little off?

Like even in Comfort it feels firm like in sports any ideas how to reset this or what's going on, or do I just go back to KIA and get them to calibrate it with their scan tool or something??

Peace

If you're referring to the ECS dampers,the system goes on full stiff mode after a battery reset. Drive or a bit and should readjust itself.
I can't comment on the rest tho.

I don't think it's supposed to do that!

Mine does not do that.

 

[BIG-D]

I was explaining the steering feel as in you know the steering input?

Thanks anyway but it has nothing to do with the suspension, yes the tyres are the correct pressure i will put the proper scan tool on it this week i guess...

 

[BIG-D]

I really only post on here so twev (DAZZLER351)can like my posts, he is such a dickhead using one of my previous log in's from another forum to join here.

Fitted my new tyres to give a better look and hopefully more traction











Peace...

Looks great. But I am a little skeptical about getting more traction from Sailun rubber.

 

[BIG-D]

Don't be a hater bro lol they were nice and cheap.

But yeah rears have a 420 wear rate and the fronts are 340.

 

[BIG-D]

You get what you pay for, but if they only last a few month's so be it... I'm quietly confident they will be better than the Michelins i had on the rear wear wise.

I've been looking at some sexy aftermarket 20" rims anyway

 

[BIG-D]

Verdict is in... I can launch on the brake snip at almost 2200 without blowing the tyres off, give em a try guys

 

[BIG-D]

This turned up so i put it on... straight forward no drama, massive shout out to @AusStinger for the assistance and photos ahead of time...

I will try not to spam this thread too much in the upcoming weeks, but i have a lot of plans for this car now that i own it outright...

I put standard rego plates on it as well as i am now flying under the radar.
