What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

Very creative !

Would like to see this setup in action. I remember "that nut" well........... :whistle:
Basically we fed the tite-reach through the gap without anything connected besides the socket with the side where the extensions are connected toward the middle of the car. Attached the socket to the nut, attached the wobble and extensions to the tite-reach, then attached the pneumatic to the extension. Still required two people, mainly to make sure the socket didn't pop off the nut. It took a little longer than expected because tighten/loosen are reversed when the tite-reach is hooked up this way...which made sense after we thought about it. Didn't realize that at first.
 
Were you making the power / torque you're supposed to? and were your air fuel readings good though ?
Yes it actually did pretty ok. Heat soak got all of us that ran. So that sucked. Big loss from 1st to 2nd pull third wasn't much off of the 2nd.

Installed an Oil Catch Can today which is really great as the hose that I detached had some watery oil in it I have a 2022 so the hole doesn't line up at all of the bottom can bracket so it's been bolted down very well from the top.

ALSO, upon inspection of the engine, the low pressure cap is not present... and the pics in the thumbnails also have what looks like #8 bolts missing in the highlighted areas walking from driver side of the engine to passenger side. I know I need a replacement cap but does anyone else have bolts not present in those spots? I bought this used with 7,800 miles on it from Florida.

I won't know for sure without looking in my engineroom, but I do recall this question being asked a while ago: and it was assured that those holes are used to attach alternate components when this engine block is used in other models.

Yep, bolts missing on mine too. Must be what Merlin said.
 
Showed her off this past Mother's Day at Cars & Coffee. Managed to drag @BertBert2019GT up there as well. :)

Ya know im an idiot.....where did you pick them up from? Like the look of those rotors.
 
Park Auto Motorsports... I have bought a few things from them their pricing is pretty good and they are super easy to deal with and very good at communication in my experience. Not sure if they ship to the US or not


You can probably get DBA rotors in the US if they dont
 
Not today but the other day... Been wanting to wrap my hood, but gloss black was a bit too shiny for my liking, and matte black was on the other end of the spectrum and didn't flow too well. Ended up using a satin black wrap. Turned out pretty decent. Going to keep it for awhile and see if I continue to like it. May get it professionally wrapped if I want to keep it like that long term (there's some small defects in a couple areas, drives my OCD crazy lol.)
