I'm New Here

[DoctorStiches]

Hello new friends!
My name is Logan and I am a proud new owner of a Stinger GT. I am interested in drifting and drift cars. My stinger will not drift (awd) and I hope to keep it maintained and tastefully modified!

I don't do this much, so that's all.

Welcome to our forum, Congrats on your beautiful looking Stinger. Also, there is much to learn and contribute or even ask questions about Stinger here, personally i and others have so much more knowledge from those who already own one, and from the videos posted, i am waiting for my Stinger, but im so happy to be involved here, and i owe the amount of knowledge i have of Stinger too all our fellow forum members.

I did vote, the only modification i might do, is here Kia Australia have a bi-modal exhaust which is available soon as an option, and of course is somewhat louder than the factory exhaust, how much louder who knows, i want to hear it in person before i decide to purchase.

Welcome!
It looks like you have a sunroof so you have the GT1 or GT2? I have the GT and already started modding. It looks like that one has it but I bought the mud guards and the trunk mat. Just recently changed front badge from KIA to the E badge, Trunk replaced KIA with lg script and changed the KIA caps to the E ones. I still have my LAP3 chip from my Optima I will probably be adding soon and waiting to see where to connect my 2 OCC that I still have from my Optima as well. Intake will prolly be next mod as well then from there prolly not much more.

I have a gt1 and I'm thinking about e badges all around, and steering wheel if possible without breaking warranty haha. Might not do anything other than lower it a tad (or bigger wheel/tires to fill it out)

I'm on it!

It has replaced nothing! More like filled the gap driving a 240sx daily makes in your life... My 240 is garage kept and attempting at least to restore in a modified way, if that makes sense. Its not to ruff but very high mileage (might add it to the garage page for fun)

Congrats on your Stinger!

I modify all my cars to varying degree. For the Stinger, besides tints and badges done, next in line are lowering springs (on order), exhaust, and rear spoiler.

In Australia there are 3 V6 versions 300s, 300si and top spec is the GT.

Welcome to the forums Logan!

I've always been fascinated with drifting and would love to get into it some day for sure!

We are super excited to be releasing new products to the Stinger community on a weekly basis! I can't wait to see what else rolls out of production for these vehicles aftermarket wise

Hm. Do all US Versions have such yellow reflectors on the front? I recall them to be white on the swiss model I saw.

Yep US mandates yellow reflectors. Dumb right?

240SX, huh? That sounds like a cool project! I see one around me quite frequently. So rare now...

Well, the light bulb lit. I'm experimenting with my past IS rear spoiler which I liked on that car...
