Just did an oil change and swapped the front sways to the softer setting. Man, it rides a little smoother and front end seems more planted, not skatey.
 
Amazing how different the car feels with lighter wheels...

I gotta take them back to the shop but and get them balanced !

If it's not one thing it's something else *sigh*

Intercooler is about to get the Al Jolsen treatment 😀

What size tires did you put on those spare/skinny rims? I’ve got 2 myself and wanna do the same.
 
They really don't corner well I would advise against it 😞 especially for the cost.

The only reason I bought the radial over the cross ply was for handling .. the 4" cross-ply that you use with slicks on the rear is a couple of kilos lighter as well...

I hope yours doesn't give you issues .
So looping back, the LiFePo4 battery was definitely the issue. This past weekend my wife, dad, bonus mom, and I visited my bro: 3.5 hour road trip each way. Plenty of time for something to go wrong, but no issues at all; only change from the previous trip was the AGM battery (this past weekend) vs the LiFePo4 battery that gave intermittent issues.

Mine might have just been a bad one, or an ID-ten-T error on my part, but now she runs as I'd expect a 27k mile Stinger to run.

Next up: preparation for the rainy season.
 
Ok so my Temu parts finally turned up, problem I have is these are parts required to service ya brakes... all I am seeing is a pair of cock rings/ a penis pump and nipple clamps !???

I told my Stinger thank you. Thanked her for looking her best!
I do QA for a flooring company here in central Texas, Austin area mostly. And usually day to day is interacting with builders. Occasionally dealing with homeowners. Today I had a homeowner inspection. The homeowner walked me out and noticed my car. “That’s a beautiful car! What is that a BMW?” To which I proudly responded, “No sir, that’s a KIA Stinger!” My head is floating! Lmao!
 
I had an old guy and his wife, like really old... Comment one day at the servo on how awesome my car looked and asked what it was?
I have never had a young guy (or girl) acknowledge the effort put in to it...

Oh and a BIG shout out to all the trolls on other forums who come on here every day just to read my posts and screenshot them because I live rent free in your head.

I will continue to share the awesomeness that is the KIA Stinger

For ever and ever and ever ❤️

Peace ✌️
 
Finished my drip rails replacement on both cars. I use Pro X One High Gloss Tire Shine from O'Reilly to coat the bare rubber. It gives it a satiny sheen, I guess that's supposed to qualify as "high gloss" when we are talking about rubber.
