A top secret project you say.....can we have guns? Oh wait, you're american - of course we can have guns!!!

A club he said not a gun, yes we are allowed clubs here but please no guns. Anyway we don't have any baby seals here...lol

 

[Kia Stinger]

Not this kind of club!

Count me in on the beta test. You've piqued my imagination.

Hi!,
Has anybody heard more information about the bi-modal exhaust, I was told today $2900 fitted and its being offered as a after sales accessory to avoid LCT (which kicks in at a tad over $65K).

Regards,
Paul

Please explain? Is this a riddle for stinger owners only?

Nope. If you have polarised sunnies, then you can hardly see the HUD. Just something that the lenses do to them. Non polarised is fine.

Hi All, heard from my dealer today that my GT in SWP (ordered September) will be with them tomorrow. All being well should be good to go early next week! Can't wait!!

Dealer reckons white and red are being delivered quicker than other colours.

Congratulations John H. You should have by the weekend mate.

Yet Madman order new non polarised driving glasses last week. It’s not just the stingers hud it’s all of them I believe.

 

[richard]

Paul you need to check through the forum. Bimodal exhaust $2659 fitted coming December or January.

 

[John H]

Congratulations John H. You should have by the weekend mate.

Hoping you're right mate!

Thanks Richard,
After posting I went back and searched for that as I remembered reading it a few days ago. I did mention that price to the dealer .... he said they had just recently increased it to $2900. So I will print that and take it with me tomorrow.

Should be fun .

Hi All, heard from my dealer today that my GT in Snow White Pearl (ordered September) will be with them tomorrow. All being well should be good to go early next week! Can't wait!!

Dealer reckons white and red are being delivered quicker than other colours.

Well done you obviously chose wisely. My dealer initially thought 50% of all vehicles ordered in Aus would be Red or white. Maybe the factory over there thought the same?

Good luck with that! I printed out the KIA webpage that clearly showed the driveaway price $640 less than I was being charged. I tried it about a month ago (saved it) and 2 days before picking up the car. TURNS out that the website only adds $14.95 for metallic paint even though it says quite clearly on the printout $645.....apparently KIA are "trying" to fix it.

Clearly all the clever korean children are sitting selective school exams in Sydney and can't recode their website.....I was told it was an error (check the fine print) and the higher price stands. Just another little annoyance in this experience.

Hi all. Just got directed to this post as fellow aussie Stinger owners. Picked up my 3.3GT today. Absolutely love it!! Will be doing some development work on it very shortly. Looking at exhaust, cooler upgrade and cai. Will keep you all posted. Will get her on rollers shortly and record baseline power/torque and afrs

Kind regards Jon
