What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

I wanna hear it!

@DemianCush - Good request - I'll take a video when I get a chance...here's a good stock vs Thermal R&D comparison. It gives a good throaty sound and also some lower tones which are becoming of the power of the car

Love it. Sounds similar in tone to my MBRP. I've had mine on a month or so. Forgotten how quiet it was before that.
 
Winter tires with CRW rims installed today. Needed to pick up a new set of lug nuts since the OEM have a washer that doesnt allow them to work with my new rim. Actually worked out as i picked up some black ones to go with the rims.

Next week she goes in for Corrosion Free Rust Protection

I spent about 1.5 hours installing the akrapovic round tips to the Borla exhaust I have installed. I had to trim some of the plastic down. It started raining so I had to get them snug and in place. I will do some adjustments/alignment once the weather clears up. I love the new look. I never did like the oval shiny chrome look of the tips before. I am very happy. Also the tips were free because Aliexpress sucks! View attachment 48108View attachment 48109View attachment 48110
I’m looking to get these tips for my borla exhaust, what’s the inlet and outlet size?
 
Installed a catback - thermal R&D. I like the sound and very little drone. Was an easy job - especially with a lift...

Love mine too!
 
Not today, but last weekend I lit the engine bay up for showings at Cars and Coffee.

I had way too much fun this weekend! :eek::eek::eek::oops::cry: having too much fun on some back roads on primacy tires = me making an *ss of myself. Little too hot on the throttle exiting a corner, dipped a tire off the pavement which was a decent drop, 7 inches or so and bottomed out tearing up my sideskirt.. time to become friends with my body shop!20201121_114052.webp

That could so easily be so much, much worse. Glad you got away with your "lesson". Hah!

oh i know!! only a few feet away from an actual ditch!
 
Finally installed the ADD W1 OCC. Also managed to drop a 3mm Allen key down the engine bay when I was tightening one of the clamps. So if anyone has any pointers on how to retrieve that it would be highly appreciated. I held my breath and started the car and nothing crazy happened. It didn’t make its way to the bottom of the tray so it’s somewhere in there.

get one of these (maybe smaller one might be better) and wave it in places it may have fallen into

Got my ever redundant personalized plates. (With a bit of a growl)

Oh...and I actually drove it! 6 months 3400 miles on the odometer thus far. Getting out and driving is a bit of an occasion.

ADD 1 makes such nice looking parts. The bracket and the red collar and clamps add bling without being over the top.
 
Got her all washed and Went to the canyons last weekend or so while hitting 600 miles on the odometer. Weather was nice so decided to take some glamour shots. Note: smoke was not from my car but from a BMW doing donuts nearby but it worked out for the photo haha.
