What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[DeltaV]

Yesterday, I replaced both fob batteries: noticed yesterday that I had to push the hatch button three times to get it to open: and for months, the range on the fob has been getting shorter.

As an alternate way to extend the range of your remote, hold it vertically against the underside of your chin and open your mouth while pressing the button.

Your skull will focus the signal.

Sounds stupid, but it works.

^^^Okay, by how much is the range extended? Will a big head extend further, or a small one? Round or flathead? Which works better, dentures, implants, natural teeth or no teeth? Big, wide open mouth, or halfway open? If this ever becomes a gov't research project, it'll get a budget of at least a million bucks, count on it.

Don’t worry about the size/shape of the head or teeth count. Just use the one you currently have attached and go from there. Why replace something that might not need to be. Mind you if you have a thick skull maybe replacement is your only option.

My head has a lot of cavernous space left empty, so YMMV, but I get a good 50% more distance.

But, just a warning, if the batteries are dead the added range significantly decreases.

Same technique works under the left scrotum.

Yeah, but the effect it has on your future kids’ intelligence is unknown and some of us don’t have much latitude to spare.

I am, BTW, completely serious about extending the range using your head.

Don't forget to stick out your tongue when doing the chin thing. It functions as an extended antenna.

Nothing too crazy. New badge, wheel, steering wheel and drive mode knob decals.

If you go just a bit wider, the FAA will call and will require you to get your pilots license

Unfortunately they were out of 50in sets, and had been for months. In fact, I had the cargo box on a stock notification since December and it finally popped up a week ago, and was sold out again before I could buy one they were out again. Fortunately they had one at a local REI. I was just happy I got my stuff before my trip.

It's always a good day when it says fragile. Mirror caps are going to look nice

Installed BMS FMIC today.
Also changed oil while I was at it.

Big intercooler energy.

Any real gains with the “ram air” intake snorkels or intercooler if no other mods (besides drop-in K&Ns)?

With the snorkels, I'm doubtful at any speeds we'll be going. When I installed mine I was careful to note that the air box inlet is the same size as stock.

The snorkels replace the restrictive stock air path through the radiator support. Probably not much true “ram” effect though.
The intercooler I realized I needed last summer at the strip. After a couple runs when it was 95 degree weather, my IAT’s were pretty high (according to the jb4 logs).
