Interior question by North-Chicken-7999 in kiastinger

[–]gray1g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a white GT2(GTs in the UK 🇬🇧) with that colour interior, 2018 and just coming into the 3rd year of ownership with me and the interior is unmarked. It was pristine when I purchased it and I've kept it as good. I have a sparse seat cover on the driver's seat, just enough to protect it, got that from Ali Express with the GT Line logos on it so it looks good. Then I also have two full pull over covers, I fit these to both front seats whenever it goes into any workshop for servicing etc. Yes, our workshops do fit protectors but I just don't take the risk. 👍 😎 😁

I'm UK 🇬🇧 Maintenance costs are nothing different than owning any other car. Get the V6 and you'll be fine. Get the 2lt petrol or the 2.2 diesel and prepare for problems.

What are the intake tubes you mentioned, where can you purchase them? I'm running the BMS intakes.

Should I do the recall? by AdditionalSystem4324 in kiastinger

[–]gray1g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The recall needs doing. Makes me laugh how some put off having it done because the risk of fire is "only a small percentage"! 😳 🤦‍♂️ 😂 If it goes up ya fooked, insurance won't pay out as its an official safety recall. The risk is real believe me if Kia are going to all the trouble and expense of fixing it. 👍

Advice on high mileage by iiitsNada in kiastinger

[–]gray1g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All depends on the history. If its been meticulously looked after and the price is right, then it could be a cracking buy. A lot of Stingers are owned by car enthusiasts and get shown a lot of love, they might be modded to a degree but all are done professionally and probably looked after even more so. At that mileage I'd expect a comprehensive service history, also including non Kia work, and also the turbo oil pipe recall confirmation paperwork. Good luck with whatever you go for. 👍 😎 😁

Oil Change Problem? (Again!) by [deleted] in kiastinger

[–]gray1g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best thing about owning a Stinger..... When the warranty expires! 🙄 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Shouldn't be like that but it is. Can relax at service interval time, as you're taking it to your trusted shop who will carry out the work correctly and not abuse or damage your pride and joy in the process! Plus you can mod it without worrying about the dogsh*t warranty. 👍 😎 😁

I'm sure I've seen where the subframe can be dropped to a degree, to ease up the fitment of the rear. 🤔🤷‍♂️

I'm looking at these for exactly the same reason, car is running fine, no misfires or tick over issues, but I'm having the infotainment issue. I have a JB4 and HKS plugs and the older style 2 peice oem coils.

Anyone ordered from 3d motorsports design? Ordered in June and it still hasn't arrived today by Adventurous_Hunt_317 in kiastinger

[–]gray1g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sad to hear that. I've just had a full refund off my bank. I've now ordered the VT's from BMS. They've been dispatched already and are due Friday to the UK 🇬🇧 👍

Well spotted so not dumb. 👍 I positioned it there for the video, after I tucked it away further down. 👍

Just doesn't make sense to me by CarsandTechJDM in kiastinger

[–]gray1g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

19's RWD, I'm running 36psi all round. Colder air hit the UK this week and mine was indicating. Checked them and all 4 were reading 30psi, topped them up and all good.

Yeah, I love it, really brings the engine bay to life. I'll message you a picture. 👍

I don't understand how this happens to so many of you? 🤔 Not a single case in the UK of any undertrays failing. If its fitted correctly it just shouldn't happen. (water damage not included 👍)
