What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

______________________________
Glad to have that fiasco sorted out! Took my wheels and tires to a local tire shop and had them all remounted and balanced (and put on the car). I personally think it looks great with the slightly higher profile tires and with the car being lowered a bit by the ARK springs.

I am a touch concerned that the rear tires might rub the fender under very heavy compression, but I will have to wait and see about that. If they offered the wheel with a +40 offset, I probably should've gotten that.

Here are the specs for those interested:
Niche Methos 19x8.5 +35 and 19x9.5 +35
Continental ExtremeContact Sport 245/40 and 275/35

Edit: Forgot to mention that Fitment Industries refunded me the $80 dollars it cost to have all 4 wheels remounted and balanced, so that was a nice touch by them.
Super good! And I bet that an unknown employee of Fitment Industries is looking for a job right now; or, is still rubbing his sore ears and grateful for a second chance. :)

Yeah, you might get some contact with that rear tire. I have, exactly once, heard a thump from my RR wheel well when I was cornering very vigorously coming around onto an onramp and went over a palpable dip in the pavement; and that's with a 9.5" wide rim and 39 offset and the OE Michelin 255/35 PS4. So, be careful and test it out gingerly. :thumbup:
 
Today a guy in a 2020 Toyota Camry with some aerokit wanted to race me on my way home from work, I was like pfffff... Are you f*cking serious? LOL (I have a GT2).

The Camry Delusion... I know it well.
 
I cleaned her
Me too; but I don't take pics each time I wash my car, or else I'd have car wash pics from each week of the year. :P

I was just able to do the first real clean after winter. Still sand on the road so it will look like shit as soon as I drive down the street.

I washed the car to destress yesterday only to wake up and find it green again today. I hate pollen season in georgia and so do my sinuses.
 
The family car is in the garage and next to all the kids stuff. The cats sleep in the garage too and I think the cat is more at risk in the garage with the cats than outside.

How often do you have to change/clean them?
Got a year out of the last set. I disconnected my JB4 to take it in to the dealer and when I hooked it back up I had a misfire.

Put on new ARK cat-less secondaries today. The sound is so good now! Definitely deeper tone and more turbo noises.

My setup: ARK + Borla S-type + Akrapovic tips. :thumbup:

Those sound great! Mine arrived last night, after hearing yours I can’t wait to get mine on. Did you do yours yourself? I hope I don’t have any issue finding someone to install them. What are your thoughts since they are secondary deletes? Thank you!!

Does pollen come off easily? I think I asked this last spring, too, but I don't remember the answer. :rolleyes::P If it does, a California Duster is the answer. :)

Yes, the "cat" is probably more at risk in the garage with the other cat(s) than outside. :laugh:
 
Your to funny merlin. By now everyone should know I cant type. And this carona thing must have my radiator cover shipment delayed because I still have not gotten it.
