    Kia Stinger GT420 Debuts As Unique Track Car Packing 422 HP

    Pretty cool, I saw this car on Instagram last night, there's no way they got 422HP from spark plugs, K&N intake and Exhaust unless they flashed the ECU. I'm surprised they didn't change out the FMIC and put coilovers on it since it's a track only car.

    Aftermarket Transmission control unit flash?

    I do like the dual clutch that the BMW'S have, they are a lot smoother on up and down shifts. Kia probably didn't go with a dual clutch because they're trying to keep the cost down on the car. A friend of mine has a GT3 an that car is horrible in the city with it dual clutch. The stinger...

    Aftermarket Transmission control unit flash?

    I talk to tork motorsports an it's something they will look into, but the cost to do the RD work is expensive. If it persists Happa88 shifting hard try disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes to rest the computer. If that doesn't work take it to the dealership.

    Aftermarket Transmission control unit flash?

    You mite try contacting tork motorsports since they cracked the ECU, maybe they mite take on the challenge on cracking the transmission. I'm going to be calling them today, if I remember I'll run it by them.

    New Buyer.... Paint Questions

    I found a place here in Tempe AZ.to ceramic coat my car for 835.00 but they gave me that price as a sponsor. That coating would cover everything down to the wheels. They also are going to buff my car before they apply it to make sure the paint is perfect.

    First Oil Change

    When you buy a new stinger or just a new car in general, your first scheduled oil change is free. For the stinger I do believe its at 6000 miles, that's just to long for me. A lot of guy on the forums had theirs changed at 500 to 1000 miles... Welcome aboard & congrats on your car

    Who else in CA is getting filling up all their cars this weekend before the tax kicks in?

    The nice thing about moving to Texas is when you buy a house it comes with land, depending on where you buy of course, but you still get a lot of house for the money.

    Kia Telluride/Soul shifter in a Stinger GT?

    You can put the GT2 shifter in the GT1 it's the same transmission, but it won't be cheap. Personally I don't care for the shift by wire, takes to long to go from reverse to drive, and if you don't push the button in all the way it won't shift. I'm old school I like the cable.

    Bought a used Stinger yesterday - vibrations?

    I would take the car down an get it fix before you go on your trip, the rotor they can turn to do a quick fix but the wheel they will have to order. The condition they sold you the car tells me they never test drove the car an that's a dealer who doesn't care about their costumers. You mite be...
