    What do you use to wash your Kia Stinger?

    They're usually with the do-it-yourself washes with the spray wands in a separate bay.

    RaceChip USA Kia Stinger Tuning

    4.7s to 5.2s is too huge a difference to be accepted as "normal" in my mind. A full half of a second if you don't take into account the 4.4s and 4.5s timings of some reviewers. But the real issue is that the chip yields a 4.7s time. On paper, same as OEM, meaning no change. It's like the joke we...

    Who turns off the Auto Start/Stop feature when they first get in their Stinger?

    2.0T or 3.3TT? My 3.3TT is noticeable when it starts up and, I don't know whether it's my "technique" in leaving a full stop but, it can kick the car uncomfortably forward when it first gets going.

    What do you use to wash your Kia Stinger?

    If it has brushes, absolutely not. I've not used the Meguiars products, sorry. Optimum No Rinse works well, from my experience. Otherwise, I'll use the automatic touchless washes.

    I have blu-ray backup software for movies that works great. But it doesn't identify the audio discs. I'll give this a try. Thanks!

    That's very unfortunate.

    Hey, I have a quasi-related question. So I purchased an album that was remastered onto Blu-Ray. I've found no way to rip the silly disc. Anybody know how?

    5.2s? That's slow compared to many tests which have 0-60mph as 4.7 - which happens to be what the chip portends to provide.

    How are your seats?

    Over 2,000 miles. All but ~ 360 are city. I've been just running errands - constantly in and out. Seat looks great, including the side bolster!

    TireRack now has wheels listed for the Kia Stinger

    3.5hr drive to one of their installation centers. I've been a customer for many years and never been. Maybe, since this is a "Gran Tour" type car I should make the trip this time. LOL Still have to make my mind up: stagger vs. un-staggered. I do like the idea of being able to fully rotate my...

    Manual Shifting and Transmission Mode Behaviors

    Oh yes! You had the concept right. The air is being metered shortly after the intake so the computer knows how much air is coming in. If there's an unknown quantity of air blown off into the atmosphere, the computer can't account for it. So it's dumped into the intake these days, after the MAF...

    Manual Shifting and Transmission Mode Behaviors

    In this vehicle, I believe it's a diverter valve (vents into the intake side of the turbo) and not a blow-off valve (vents into the atmosphere). Whenever there's enough boost built up and the driver lifts off the throttle, the valve will activate and relieve the pressure on the turbo side of the...

    USB Music

    MP3 file sizes will vary by bitrate. 192Kbps is considered the max bitrate as any higher has no real benefit in MP3 - from all I've heard.
