    Hi from Perth Australia

    Unlikely. Pretty sure they received their own recall letters from Kia NZ rather than Kia Australia. What is confusing is if production of yellow was ceased last year how is it MY19 plated models are on the market? Are they MY18’s being brought up to MY19 specs? I’ve checked AU, NZ, US and...

    Hi from Perth Australia

    Just found an article that mentions there were 71 yellows that needed paint correction which is higher than the 50 that I read elsewhere - https://www.caradvice.com.au/695778/kia-stinger-resprays-update/ What confuses me is it the yellow was supposed to be a limited release how is it there are...

    Grinding sound with turning, 3.3 GT

    I actually think mine could be related to LSD noise when the car is cold and performing tight turns. My mate was sitting in the rear of the car yesterday and the noise was even more obvious to him. Discussed here -...

    Grinding sound with turning, 3.3 GT

    Just curious about the relationship between grinding when turning and the midpipe shielding. Does this mean that something rotating like the wheel is coming in contact with the exhaust? Or is more related to the exhaust shifting/moving when turning? I have a RWD GT 3.3 Aussie model and notice...

    Hi from Perth Australia

    Stinger I’ll prob start with upgrading the rear sway bar. Deeper exhaust note would be nice too. Something like the RX7 exhaust sound would be insane (but unlikely 😲) https://youtu.be/wfirFPY3z0E

    Hi from Perth Australia

    I don’t have my own build thread as the car was a money pit for 2 different owners before me. I’ve done very little to it since. Here’s how she used to look originally - big difference! From what I know the 1st owner did all the cosmetics and suspension. 2nd owner did the mechanicals like...

    Hi from Perth Australia

    Yep my GT is the TT V6. No diesel model over here and also no AWD. RWD only! [;)] Here’s our line-up comparing the specs - https://www.kia.com/au/cars/kia-stinger/specification.html

    Hi from Perth Australia

    G’day all Happy Stinger GT owner after buying a couple of weeks ago. Was originally going to buy black with red trim but came across this yellow one and love how the colour “pops”! Had a Mazda 6 Turbo Diesel prior which was still a nice drive and super-economical. Bought that to offset the...
