Replaced a holden captiva LTZ. 2.2L turbo diesel to a 3.3L twin turbo V6 is a hefty upgrade for on road performance.

Welcome mate! Tell us about your Stinger.

Welcome mate! Tell us about your Stinger.

Nothing aftermarket, yet. But what else is there really to note about it. Its just a brilliant bit of gear factory. Bummed it defaults my driving mode to comfort but i read that this is a known issue that is only workaround includes arduino installing. Default exhaust is super quiet but the amount of euro cars that wanna drag me at lights has gotten ridiculous. I miss the ignorance my captiva brought with it.

Colour? Pics?

Howdy and welcome. I know about upgrade. Nothing in my prior driving experience came remotely close to a 3.3L twin turbo plus the handling.

Micro blue. Getting ceramic tint on it this weekend while i have time off work. Really have had next to no time off to sit and adore my ride apart from dealership handover day. Contemplating getting replacement rims but stuck on either OEM or aftermarket choices.

Hi, I see the new wheels but it looks like the 8" Infotainment screen, so I gotta ask which year it is?

I am also guess you are luckily enough to be over 25 on your P2 and can enjoy the ride

Yes. MY18 spec. The gloss around the unit is an inconvenience at the most but the display is already 10x better than my old captiva.
