What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[G70LEbyAdoom]

Very nice! Stinger looking clean as hell.

Thanks dude!

but fast cars still don't guarantee good/brave drivers....

Its been a good 15 years since been to a drag strip but I remember the last time I was there, some sap in a new mustang gt was getting 16-17 second 1/4 mile times (i don't know their 60' but I'm assuming it was horrendous)!

That time doesnt sound that much slower than an early 2000's GT should have been running to be honest..... God they are slow and ugly.

Very true, but it should at least been able to do a mid 14 (which my fwd eclipse did with a few bolt-ons).

Like wise with mine, but the struts yours look very interesting.

I just spray painted my strut bars as well and finally cleaned up the overspray. Nothing special.

Mine stayed parked while I took a friends bumper off to add some goodies.

Nice.
Seems though that something changed in the forum software a while back, it rotates all the photos. Very annoying.

Personally I think that Product you tested for me is the best thing

Lil background on what he his talking about. @StingerbyAdoom and I started talking about CF hood flex and bounce/movement a little bit back. I mentioned how mine moved alot more since the install of my Velossa Tech snorkels. That being said i have the 2.slow and only one snorkel is "functional" and moves air to the filter. The other side just fires air under my hood. I mentioned i was going to it block off and i just hadn't done it yet due to a case of lazy. (Would have been waaay to easy when i did the install) After some more discussion he came up with a factory look and fit air block to go on the inside of the core support that he could build.

Jump to now and ive had the block in for a few days, perfect bolt in place piece. My hood is back to where it was prior to my VT install with super minimal movement. Im not running hood pins and really dont want to either.

Long story for Hey i installed an air block the other day to help with my CF hood movement/bounce

Did a charity event last night at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. probably about 100 cars or so there, some regular traffic, a bunch of charger/challengers and other stuff like that. Even #teslagang decided to show up. Of all the cars at the even though, only two photos of cars made their social media, All 3 of which are owned

by Me and my sister. My cars are the stinger and the 87 Monte Carlo SS Areocoupe, and my sister has the decked out for dale 2002

Great pics! The HCR looks amazing in that light…at dusk.

No worries! You're right though, the HCR looks fantastic and its probably my favorite picture of the car so far.

Nailed a nail, this was actually Sunday evening, but I didn't discover it till this afternoon. RR tire was down to 15 psi.
(And why is this attach files app flipping pics sideways? I've noticed it happening to a lot of us; but when I click on the thumbnail the full-sized pic flips to the horizontal, correct view??)

^^Didn't you just replace tires due to a nail or screw?

That was a torn sidewall on a piece of concrete, FR tire (company reimbursed me). If things come in threes, this is getting way too close to my road trip that starts this Friday, heh!

 

[JSolo]

^^You got the road hazard warranty right? Sounds like you need it.

 

[MerlintheMad]

^^^No. The flat repair was free anyway, that's how Big O does it, at least this one near me. Until these two recent "adventures", almost back to back, I've escaped entirely in over four years of driving the Stinger.

Gave her a good clean + wheel & tyre detail.
