Australia-Specific Kia Stinger Discussion

[Ozstung]

What mods did you do on your WRX ? @Ozstung

All my documentation and receipts went to the new owner, I'm having trouble recalling all the work I had done. It started with a re map of the ecu, cold air intake, injectors, fuel lines? Pump? Turbo remained the same. It was only when I went and test drove the 2017 Focus Rs and compared it I realised how quick the old girl was. Still miss her I'm funny like that.

That level of torque (500Nm) would destroy my 5EAT gearbox.

I still have access to an 02 STI (Bugeye) track car for that sort of stuff now

New product from Bowden’s Own, I haven’t used it, just found the YouTube videos, but every body loves a happy ending

I'm starting to feel excited, booked in for two test drives;
First one at Werribee Kia on Tuesday, I asked if they had a Stinger with the Bimodal exhaust, they will get one sent in for me to check it out.
Second one Lakeside Kia Caroline Springs Melbourne next Saturday, where we got my Optima. We were allowed to take the Optima overnight so I asked if that was still an option, they only have the one demo that the manager drives so was told can't take it overnight but can have it for 2 hours.
She asked if we were purchasing on the day and I said " no, we are considering the Stinger and want a test drive and will take it from there "

Exciting news for you, finally coming to fruition, a few sleepless nights now, as I say...once you drive it, you will own it, enjoy the experience & don’t let the sales staff bully you, remember while you still have the $$$ you have to power, negotiate hard & ask for everything.

My current car is a sub-5s 0-100km/h 4Gen Liberty GT Spec.B. I know what sort of work I had to do to it to get it to that point.

Those Jeep SRT8s are insane - 2.3T and 0-100km/h in 5 seconds is nuts...

Watch out for the Jeep Trackhawks... they may look like a slow tank, but they are insanely fast 0-100kmh in 3.6 seconds. I went for a drive in one last week and the thing launches like nothing else I've been in. 6.2L supercharged hemi.

At least you get something unlike everything else that's double the price.

Woohooooooooooooooo

Congrats the Stinger ball is rolling. You are now armed with all the wisdoms from our esteemed forum panel members. I look forward to progress reports. If in doubt check back here with the old codgers. (See below) I won't tell which one is which.

Hubby advised me to go in cool, keep our cards close to our chest, I will need to have very good self control not to grin from ear to ear when I see the car ( he's telling me not to look excited ) Iv'e already been smiling just thinking about getting in the car.

No sorry Tim, the dealership palms it off to someone else sadly.

 

[Piker]

+1 for Ron or Tom at Northern Kia, I bought our Black GT (which I hope to pick-up early next week) from them great, friendly guys that are not pushy.

Hi everyone. Great community you've got here!
I'm literally about to bite the bullet on a Feb19 built MY19 GT 3.3tt white with red nappa and 10km on the clock.
I'm keen to hear your opinions on pricing.
I've been offered $60,900 drive away with GT mats. In your opinion, is this the best price I can get atm? Just don't wanna get ripped off..

Thanks in advance

 

[basysmith]

$60,900

Nah, you can do better.
