    How many times have you been pulled over since owning the Stinger?

    None for me but only 1600 miles and just over a month since I bought the car. Plus hard to speed in rush hour. [scratch]

    Thanks, I see what you are saying about the bracket, I will tighten it up again real good and add another one on like you did. Extra insurance and just be sure to check and tighten it up every time I empty the can as needed. I'm curious how much this will fill up. I don't drive all that hard...

    Yeah I was more worried removing the hose than tightening it, had a much better angle but it didn't break and has a good seal. I did use Teflon tape and screwed those into the can tight so I think I'm all set. It is strange the sizes are so different though if it's one hose connecting them not...

    Ok I think I got it.. Turned car on, no noises coming from any of the hoses, took dip stick out has a nice suction going on in there, so I think I'm good now. Thanks again for all the help. I think I was overthinking the complexity of this. Only thing I did do was lose a little hex...

    Ok I got the clip off the top the hose is off on the front but in the back that thing is stuck on pretty good got the hose clip off but the hose is still in pretty deep, do you just yank on that until it comes off? Compared to the other side it was easy slid right off this one seems to have...

    Thanks again for the info, still waiting for the kit but I took a look at the connections. What's the easiest way to get to that back clamp to get it off, It looks like there is some electrical plugs and things in the way. Did you disconnect those or just try to find someway to work around...

    Who purchased a third party extended warranty for their Stinger?

    I did purchase it only for the electronic coverage not sure if I got ripped off or not but it was about an extra $500 to extend the limited warranty that was for 3 years 36k out to 5 years 100k mostly for the electronics. I will def hit the limited warranty mileage before the time frame that...

    Thanks for the Info, It is supposed to come this weekend so I may take a crack at it, the more I'm looking on here the easier and the more comfortable I think it is for me to do this mod. If not I'll def let you know since we are close and I appreciate the offer. It looks like the kit comes...

    Thanks yes, I should get my kit this weekend and I found a mechanic shop that will install but I may see about ordering the right sized tubes for the job if I get the wrong size. I'll wait to see what they send as maybe they sent the wrong tubes out on yours perhaps but if not I can order...

    Looks good I'm thinking about getting this one too. Do you know what size hoses you used to make it all work the parts etc? I may get a local mechanic to install mine so maybe they will have all that stuff to do it. Def don't want a loose connection though. Is it hard to get back behind...

    Did you know your mechanic from before or can you solicit any repair shop to install this if you provide the kit? I want to do this but I'm not a gearhead and messing with any hoses or anything in an engine freaks me out but I see the need for this mod with the GDI engine and certainly don't...

    Chamois or Microfiber for drying your Stinger?

    I use the Quick Drying Squeegee on the windows right after the rinse then I use the Clean Tools 45149 Absorber for most of the car then I do another pass with Meguiars X2000 water magnet weave microfiber towels. Then just a microfiber cloth with a quick detailer to get rid of spots on the...

    So I went to a car wash

    Wow man that sucks. Sorry to see a beautiful car messed up like that, again it reaffirms the need to wash yourself when I got the car I was thinking I would just keep going to car washes too but I changed my mind after reading the forums. I've had my car for month and I just waxed it...

    Idle stop start question

    Thanks MurlinatoRR I'm glad they have beefed up that part of it as I expected they would. In AZ even having it off for 60 seconds can make it uncomfortable in the summer. I hope it is tied to the automatic climate control somehow so if I set the temp to 79 for AC and it is like 90 in the car...

    Idle stop start question

    Yeah I'm with you in the Summer, I just got my car December so right now it's not an issue but once the summer temps get up there I'll probably not be ok with it shutting off the AC with those temperatures. I'm curious though one of the things I read though in the manual state if the air...

    Lease Buyout - How to get the best deal on a Kia Stinger!

    Hi I paid Cash through a Bank Check and followed the buyout instructions and sent the Odometer statement to them with the check. So I know they got it since they applied the check. So not sure the lead time on the release but as long as I don't need to make the 2/1 payment on the lease I'm...

    Lease Buyout - How to get the best deal on a Kia Stinger!

    Update: so Yesterday 1/23/19 Kia Finance posted my buyout check on their website. If I request a buyout quote it shows $0 due now. So I imagine then they will send the title to me after processing the paperwork further. Not sure the time frame but I bought the car on 12/30/18 so I'm really...

    Idle stop start question

    No worries as long as it is working for you. This car has so many features compared to my last it has taken me some time to figure all of it out. I'm just glad most of the things can be changed/ turned off for the most part. [driving][driving][driving]
