• 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!

The great PNW roll call!

Saw 2 stingers today. First one going down I5-S, a red GT (same as mine) got onto the freeway at the exact time so that we were right next to each other. Rolled down his window and waved hi, which I waved back. Second one was a silver 2.0 going the other direction. Thought I'd say hi if y'all are on this forum.
 
Less than 2 months before Pacific Raceways in Kent Wa opens. Time to get the mods fine tuned in and ready to race! Test and tune on 3-25, Import face off 5-5. IFO has drags and car show. IFO is only $25 if you buy tickets early.
 
Bremerton WA here. Would love to meetup with someone that has a JB4 installed to see it in person.

Since you are so close to Tork Motorsports in Kent, an ECU tune is a no brainer.
@Blitz is the only jb4 in the area that i know of.

so you think test and tune is still gonna happen with the weather we have been getting

Not sure how accurate long range forcasts are but 3-21 shows 60s and low chance of rain. Fingers crossed.
 
West Seattle. If you see a white GT1 headed south on 99 on a weekday morning, wave.
 
Just picked up a '18 GT2 that was still hanging out at a dealer in Shoreline for a screamin deal. Im down in Kent.

Vancouver, BC, here. I've had my 2019 Limited for 2 weeks this Saturday. Been out bombing around quite a bit and have yet to see another Stinger out there. One more reason I love this car. What a machine can't get the smile off my face. Cheers.

Congrats! When you are ready for more power, one of the few ECU tuners is only 2.5 hours away down in Kent Wa.
Intake and a tune will blow your mind.

Waiting on my Injen and Velossa at the moment and wondering about exhaust. Suggestions?

Those are good picks. These cars like to drone so if you don't want too loud or drone Magnaflow and if you like it more agressive with a little drone in the 1500-2000 range the Ark Grip.
For a tune Tork motorsports is local and the fastest, typically. .2 to .3 faster than the piggybacks.
Latest findings are the mid and down pipes add almost no power on a tuned car but lots of power on a stock boost car. Catbacks add 10-15 tuned or not it appears but need more data.
Light wheels do wonders. The stock ones are 34.5 lbs.

I do personally think the best sound on this car atm is just downpipes. Gives it that growl without making it annoying!

The collection of noises made by the Injen intakes is a lot of fun. And I'd swear gives a noticeable bump to performance. I can see where some might find it a little bit much, tho.

This is the first performance car I've had in years so really it has plenty of power for me as it comes. However it pains me to have a performance engine with a factory air choking intake system, so basically I'm looking for advice on the best low cost air flow help on the exhaust side. I'm not interested in a lot of noise or drone but some improvement would be nice.
 
I have a friend in Vancouver Wa with a white Stinger. Maybe we will see each other when I come visit him for Thanksgiving.

Heyas Pikaxe!

In the past couple months, I've seen a white Stinger at least 4 times here on the east side of Vancouver (WA/USA). Wouldn't be surprised if that was the same person. :)

I also JUST saw a brand new Ceramic Silver on Mill Plain today with a temp-tag still on the vehicle and Weston Kia dealer plates, so it had to be less than 20 days old. Was filled with 4 pretty ladies! I waved like an idiot and the driver waved back, probably thought I was a nutjob. LOL! Was just so excited to see another in the wild! :)

I'm in Bellevue. Let me know and I'll take you out!

Mine's in now, all updated latest firmware and such. Live West Seattle, work Tukwila. Ought to get a Puget Sound meet happening, rain oh shine.
 
Saw one White Kia Stinger on 202 near the traffic lights to Les Schwab and Whole Foods in Redmond. I was in my M2 waiting to turn towards to E Lake Sam Way. Lurking in these forums as I am also interested in the Stinger GT2 AWD.
