New Stinger Owner 2022 GT2

[Johnsills1]

Just wanted to stick my head in the door and say hello. Just bought my wife her dream car. She has wanted this car since they came out. I hope to make some friends and learn some things. I’m always trying to improve my cars and trucks and find forums to be the best communities to do so.

I already added the front air damper and rear spoiler. I am always open to suggested mods. Thanks in advance.

Excellent. May your journey be in safety. It certainly will be exciting (and fun).

Welcome to the club!!! If you enjoy cornering predictability/stability, I can't recommend front and rear sway bars more. They really transform the cornering of the car.

Welcome to the hive! +1 on the sway bar recco

 

[Blueangel]

Congrats and welcome
Sway bars recommended for sure. Greatly helps with cornering, decreasing body roll and switching lanes on a dime which in essence boosts confidence with overall driving and makes it hella fun

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your new Stinger! What did the Stinger replace for your wife? I'm glad you found us. Check out the forum store and vendor section for all sorts of mods.

Congratulations on a great car you guys won't be disappointed! My wife keeps stealing my stinger in the morning. So I end up driving her twin turbo ford explorer sport a few days. Got to share I guess.

My wife always cracks jokes when I drive her car. I do love driving it.

Congratulations on the car and welcome! Love the color.

Thanks, my wife stands in the garage and just stares at the car at least twice a week.

Can you tell me exactly what the catch can is going to do to improve the car?

I live in a townhouse with no garage. My living room is in the front so I get the joy of looking out the window and seeing my car.

Can you tell me exactly what the catch can is going to do to improve the car?

Since the mid 2000s they started using Gas Direct Injection which puts the fuel injectors inside the combustion chamber. This now means that the fuel does not mix with the air before the cylinder head and thus the fuel/air mixture (nor fuel injector cleaner) will not do anything to help keep the intake valves clean from carbon buildup.

This problem is compounded by the pcv valve system in turbocharged/supercharged cars. The pressurized air from our turbos finds micro holes to leak out of and ultimately pressurize parts of the engine that are not supposed to be. Thus the PCV system allows that air to recirculate to prevent catastrophic engine damage. The problem is, that air is now filled with oil and other contaminants that then coats the intake valves.

An oil catch can is added inline to that pcv system to catch those fluids. Now, there is many who avidly argue for them, and many who say they do nothing, and there is no real conclusive proof of 2 cars in the exact same driving environment for 60k miles to say one or the other.
IMO it is logical that it would help reduce carbon build up, but even if it doesn't, I am at least catching that contaminated oil from getting into places where it is not supposed to be, and it is only $200 and very easy to install.

Thanks for the explanation.
