• PLEASE! It is VERY important that this area is not used for the discussion of technical issues with your Stinger. This section is for posting about regional-specific things like Stinger clubs, events, local vendor or dealer recommendations, KiaStinger.com member sightings, etcetera... In other words, I do NOT want people to need to scour through several different sections to find answers about their heads up display. That's why there's a section dedicated specifically to discussions like that. THANK YOU!

Saskatchewan Stingers

Checked the stock plugs and, yes, they were NGKs.
 
Hey dudes! Just ordered some mods to slap on the car, was wondering if anybody plans to goto the track at all this month?

I won’t get there. I’d like to but a lot going on.

What did you order?
 
BMS Intake, new plugs, jb4, Wmi kit. Should all be here hopefully around monday
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
What track are you talking about? I took mine to SIR about 2 months ago.
 
Either toon town or regina, im not too picky

Nice! Let me know your thoughts once installed.

I’ll eventually get a tune. Sticking to bolt ons for now. Have an MBRP exhaust on order to pair with my SSR midpipes.
 
Will do! I am also debating if I want to try the BMS brake snip, if I do that, I will post that too.
Let me know how the exhaust works out, Im thinking of doing that next

Hopefully I can get a chance to show it off, see who I can surprise in the local car scene. Just about everybody in moose jaw knows, I need new people to surprise!

Just drive down to Regina. Most people still have no idea what a Stinger is, let alone the type of performance a modified one is capable of.

Im only a stones throw away...... when I get them all put on, i might have have to pop over. If you are familiar with where everybody goes, might have to go cruising, look for some trouble

Haha sounds fun. Let me know.
 
@SKStinger
Finally got everything installed and running last night.

Holy cow does this car kick hard while on meth. Compared to stock, the biggest difference is that it keeps pulling hard higher in the rev range compared to stock, where it feels weaker. Its addicting. Also, map2, is lots of fun to daily by itself. Did some runs against 12 second cars, and I was keeping up. I am very interested now in what a 1/4 for this would be. Ill have to come out to regina if you want to have a look to see what everything looks like.

Nice work! I was busy on Saturday too. I installed an MBRP exhaust to go with the SSR downpipes. Holy sh*t does it sound awesome! I drove it this morning for the first time (other than just a few revs in the garage on the weekend) and I can't get enough of the sound! It's also drone free on the highway as I paired it with some new Akrapovic exhaust tips.

We definitely need to meet up as I want to see your setup. I'm super busy this week and away this weekend but the week/weekend of Aug. 5th could work?
 
Ill shoot you a pm next week, see what we can work out!

This may be a stupid question, but I presume that the MBRP system you have is labelled as a "catback" exhaust and that any catback system should work with the SSR midpipes?

I installed my SSR midpipes but had to pound in a bit of a divot in the drivers side pipe to keep it from rattling against a bolt on the transfer case. Oddly enough, the rattle was evident on cold startup (especially at left turns on a cold engine) but went away after the engine was warm. I would have expected the opposite, with expansion of the pipe due to heating. Anyways, a bit of work with a hammer solved the problem.

Yep. Any catback will pair with your SSR midpipes. The X pipe on the catback mates up to the midpipes.

I had that issue with mine too but was able to adjust the drivers side pipe to stop it.
 
For anybody interested, aug 24th & 25th is drag day in swift! I plan on going at least one of the days, show the public what this car can do
 
Did some drag runs this past wednsday @ SIR. Best run of the night was a 12.711. Definite room for improvement, cant wait to get back!
