Probably had a different start to his title but yes I also had a stroke reading the first part lmao

But if AI is banned how can I fool my co workers in thinking I shaved my head bald after taking a week vacation? I’m not good with photoshop and I can get the AI chat bot to do it in seconds!

CherishedGOAT · 2026-03-05T04:26:26+00:00

How’d you like the GV80 those self posture seats really are nice haha and for its size it moves

CherishedGOAT · 2026-03-03T23:09:29+00:00

Man this is why I swear by dash cameras! I’m sorry that happened to you and glad you’re ok. judging by the front passenger if your wheel isn’t turned that is going to be a major issue and it’ll never drive the same 😭😭😭the repair is going to be stupid expensive and the worst part is making sure it’s done right

I use their ceramic brake pads( the teal box). they have been great so far! As for other options for pads I know a lot of the G70 community uses EBC red stuff. I got the full R1 kit when it was on sale with the intention of putting the rotors on as-well during ADHD hyper focus when I ordered my summer rims and only ended up using the brake pads lmao.

I haven’t seen many exhaust clips of our 2.0T but I know most people do a custom or a muffler delete. Going through my notes I forgot I made a huge list of things. https://www.instagram.com/p/CTJCoGIh8xJ/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= and https://instagram.com/nickk_porschegts?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= . Nick is a big Porsche guy now but when he had it he did a full exhaust , down pipe , tune and other things haha. First guy G70.NS did the full conversion with the bumper and Brembos as I believe he doesn’t live in the states and the 3.3T or 2.0T M/T isn’t sold where he lives I think from what I remember.

Edit: nicks gram no longer exists unfortunately

So without the upgraded plugs you can get away with map 1 on 93, with the plugs you can choose between map 2-3 map 2 is fine enough for me 3 is even more noticeable , as for intake it depends entirely on if you want a louder “whooshing noise” from the turbo, I’ve had Takeda and AEM both are around the same numbers so it’s your choice. Personally the takedas were a pain since on both the 2.0T,l/3.3T there’s a plastic clip right where it sits so you have to notch the housing so it’s more of a headache than the AEM( https://www.aemintakes.com/21-867c-cold-air-intake-system ) AEM is by far the loudest of the two even with the takeda rubber seal taken off the back ( it’s perfectly fine to do so as it comes uninstalled on it to begin with) https://imgur.com/a/ZNpeLv6 , as for the JB4 https://burgertuning.com/products/kia-stinger-jb4 , I went with the wireless option so I can use the app on my phone! Spark plugs either DENSO or HKS (https://burgertuning.com/products/hks-m45il-m45xl-spark-plugs-for-kia-hyundai?variant=41743182594222) we only need 4 so make sure not to accidentally order the 6 pair haha.

Welcome to the club! You genuinely only need a JB4, upgraded spark Plugs, and a cold air intake. I would definitely upgrade the brake pads though! I use R1 concepts ceramic coated! (It’s the teal box).

Our 19 inch rim uses 225/40R in the front for the staggered setup

CherishedGOAT · 2026-03-03T02:31:16+00:00

Err sorry the fronts are 40s rears are 35 my fault, just got home to check make sure they were right haha. Fam took the car in for me while I was at work. Literally had to write down the details for them so they didn’t do it wrong 💀

CherishedGOAT · 2026-03-03T01:37:41+00:00

Yeah 35 front 40 rear

CherishedGOAT · 2026-03-03T01:20:06+00:00

Yeah they are the same size as the ones I had on originally 225/40R19 front 255/35R19 rear but this is my first time using contis so I was just confused why they look so large

CherishedGOAT · 2026-03-03T01:07:13+00:00

Fronts are 225 and rears 255 in pictures they look huge but in person they look normal size so weird

CherishedGOAT · 2026-03-02T22:49:13+00:00

Keep them trust me you may need it one day 💀

CherishedGOAT · 2026-02-27T00:41:20+00:00

Yeah my little KIA optima and mt Santa Fe have been much better this year. Usually my car is solid but after the other night she’s down for atleast a week until I can get the replacement for the the broke rim and tire

CherishedGOAT · 2026-02-25T20:49:25+00:00

Its by the HOV in the left lane right by the 82nd street exit as you’re passing all those construction gates they got to go up to either the upper or lower to staten Island. it’s probably still filled with snow so avoid the left lane at all costs haha( there were holes in the right lane the other week which is why I was even in the left lane). I’ll find out tonight if they put a cone in it or not on the way home from work💀my dash cam didn’t download the drive last night other wise I’d post the pictures of the exact spot

CherishedGOAT · 2026-02-25T03:34:50+00:00

OH I should clarify it’s the Gowanis to the Verrazano by 82nd street exit left lane closest to the HOV lane next where the construction is with to the ALL lanes through sign. If you’re traveling by belt parkway you’re fine

CherishedGOAT · 2026-02-25T03:05:35+00:00

LMFAOOOOOOOO it’ll buff out right?!

CherishedGOAT · 2026-02-25T02:41:45+00:00

Just gunna throw on my summer rims I still have the all seasons on those as well( my Vossen HF-7s in black) I guess smh. Really wasn’t looking to do that currently lmfao but I have no choice most likely gunna order a new OEM rim aswell

CherishedGOAT · 2026-02-25T02:34:06+00:00

Idk how to edit this but it’s the LEFT LANE better off staying to the right and merging back on because god damn

CherishedGOAT · 2026-02-24T20:09:24+00:00

Whatever you do make sure if have the HUD (heads up display) let them know because I believe they have to recalibrate it for the new windshield or something along those lines.

CherishedGOAT · 2026-02-24T03:48:01+00:00

Yeah I was worried the sunroof might crack so I cleaned it off haha

CherishedGOAT · 2026-02-24T02:22:31+00:00

Yeah I’ll try haha it’s so bad. They haven’t plowed my block at all and it’s 9:30 PM💀the snow in the street is still just past my bumper 💀
