What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[dtrail7a]

It's our 1 year anniversary. 53k from 97 1 year ago. Loved every single mile.

Hell yea! Congrats on a year. They are built to drive not sit.

Don't see many with those miles, any problems to report of with the mods etc

 

[dtrail7a]

No problems run map 3 most of the time. Log every tank of fuel damn near. I figured I've probably put more miles on in 1 year than anyone else with one. I do maintenance by the book. She hasn't seen a dealership since 11k.

^^Looks fun. Are you familiar with late apex?

Lol no, I have been meaning to do some research but so far it's been just don't go sideways too much or destroy the brakes type of driving. The car doesn't feel happy when inputs are rushed, feels much better when driving smooth.

^^Smooth == fast. Someone in my motorcycle circle taught me years ago to think of lane lines as electric fences that radiate upwards. No part of bike/body should ever be over that invisible line.

This is quite dated... very dated. Some of the concepts don't apply to cars, but the lines parts do.

Smooth is Fast is a great mantra that is common in racing.

If only more people would treat the lines as the edge of the road. the white shoulder lines aren't so much of an issue although you have to worry about the amount of debris that's out there but I hate when the double yellows get disrespected.

There's only 2 real times you should be over the yellows, when there is something blocking your lane and you've confirmed that there's no oncoming traffic or if you have had the road completely closed off to the public.

Looks like a fun road. Kudos for staying in the lane, General.

 

[dtrail7a]

Wheel spacers and paint match reflectors today. I like the feel of the wider wheel base, and as much as I hate the snow I'm ready to have some fun in it.

 

[Redleg94]

Went the first service today, winters went on and got the wheels aligned.

 

[n8hegr8]

got coolant filled; tomorrow is window motor replacement.

 

[MerlintheMad]

Got my OEM wheels with A/S tires put on for winter. (edit to add: on the way home, I got an opportunity to enter the righthand interchange from I-15 to westbound I-215 at any speed I wanted, and exited at 92 MPH: the Nitto Motivo felt almost as stuck as the PS4S at that speed)

Also found out that a little camber would do my tires a world of good: the PS4S, particularly in front, as they are more worn to the point of replacement, have feathering on the outside edge: just like the last pair of front tires. I was told that I have some feathering in the rear too (these tires are only 4/5K miles old): so, I have confirmation that my driving style on the curves is sufficiently "spirited" to cause outer edge wear. Does anyone know how we can obtain c. half a degree or a little more camber on the Stinger?

It's a balmy 53F here in chicago. Perfect day to get the last hand car wash in. Not a fan of car washing in the sun. Parked it in the garage after the final rinse for the wipe down. Next car wash probably in april. I do a few touchless during the winter to get some of the salt off, but that's aobut it.

Putting lowered springs in seems to be the only way at the moment.

No one makes camber plates?

My wheel and tire guy said something about "camber nuts" and even had a brand name, which I have forgotten almost instantly. If someone here doesn't know about those/that, I'll have to call and ask him again, heh.

 

[JSolo]

^^You sure it wasn't toe bolts?

 

[Robilar]

Got my winter wheels on today and my first oil change from actually driving the vehicle...

I have to say, I really like the black lug nuts I got from Kia for these rims, they are flush and recessed, look a lot better than the stock chromed ones
