Australia-Specific Kia Stinger Discussion

I think they did the tune wrong or something wrong as it should be 282rwkw and 525nm torque

They are saying to run it in more and the % increase is spot on...to bring it for another tune in 5,000kms

According to Unichip you should be making 282 @ 5500rpm so it seems way short.

Give Unichip a call on 03 9762 5929

Called them and they said drivetrain might need to loosen up but they are going to sort out another dyno for me. It's a lot better now so when I get full power gonna be sick!!

Sounds reasonable, where do you notice most difference when driving?

All over

Just washed my car and used more soap but blower was good....still felt like it struggled...I need earmuffs to per turbo it hahah

Still got slightly spotted chrome! How can I make it not spot?

Oh and for extra measure I don't think the cold air vents on driver seat works anymore...

 

[ShannonC]

So it's more responsive and accelerates faster?

Yeah mate 25% more

Oh and for my sequential reflectors I got him to put an easy pull plug for indicator so it disconnects both sides for 35 bucks!!

Could it be because I used tap water? :O

Its the calcium in the water when dried.

I think the USA have the option of cream and beige interior, something we missed out on.

The "gray" interior was offered in the USA as an option on the Micro blue cars only. Its now been completely withdrawn im told.

Oh ok, the cream would look nice in some colours, but to keep it clean may be a problem, especially with kids in the car

Very true, i love that cream, grey, beige colour when i saw it on a Stinger in one of those motor shows in the early days. The beauty about the black nappa is you don't see any dirt marks. Did someone say the red leather bleeds a bit?

 

[Hemz]

Guess who is a stinger uber

 

[ShannonC]

You're probably the first. Lots more needed to pay for Unichip....lol.

I think she tipped me 3 bucks because of the car ..it definitely wasn't because of my head

 

[Ozstung]

So you are in the Uber luxury car bracket then? More dollars in your pocket i assume.

 

[ShannonC]

Hope you didn't put a Uber sticker on the rear window.

On Friday & Saturday nights beware of drunk peeps, if they vomit in your car you can charge $200 for clean up, they do here in Vic for taxis so Uber would be similar
