variation will be minimal and you should be able to for the 50 profile tire without issue in your factory wheel.

Going to leave it stock, even though I like how it looks with a slight drop, I already have a toy on coilovers that I can have fun with.

Looks great Jonnytig. What size IC piping did you go with? How much bigger is compared to the OEM? Also in regards to the intake pipes, why did you decide to go with that design instead of something like the K&N, with less bends and shorter pipe length?

very good review on the Eibach's Steve O. Let us know once the dealer provides the OEM alignment specs and also post some pics of a before and after alignment readings (may be in a separate post so that we can sticky it). Good to hear you found your happy place [twothumb]

Nice job!!...very impressive[twothumb]

prep....prep.....prep and prep. That is the key to applying any kind of paint protection on a vehicle. If you have worked with a polisher before and have experience restoring/correcting paint then you should be able to this yourself. If not have someone that knows do it.

CarPro (reload and pearl), Griots garage (polishing and cutting liquids, spray on wax and speed shine), Menzerna (polishing and cutting liquids).

This further reinforces my theory of too much heat applied when curing the ceramic coating.

By the looks of the wheels. It seems like it is.

You should include brief descriptions of trim and specs for each. It'll help potential buyers choose easier.

The OEM spark plugs for the stinger are Denso FXU16HR11 Which means it has a heat range of 16 and a gap of 1.1mm. The next colder plug will be a 14 in the Denso. A good rule of thumb is, one Heat Range colder for every 75?100hp added. Hope this helps.

Sounds amazing, cant beat the sound of turbos spooling up and releasing pressure. [rockon] Not really surprised about the fitment issues, as it looks like K&N rushed to get the product to the market, maybe they'll make a revised version or a version 2 is the intake (maybe a true CAI)

What is the stock size?

NIIICEEE!!!!.....who needs fire works when you can do burnouts!! [deviltail] Great work on the upgraded IC BTW. It's amazing how much was gained on torque. How much bigger is the IC piping? Keep the updates coming [thumb]

Happy new year everyone...Sting away!!

That is great news indeed. Now I wonder if KIA north america will offer the same upgrade here.

^^^THIS is the right answer. We can have both, just add an exhaust cutoff valve and you're done. Of course it would've been better if KIA would've offered from factory as an option.

Very well done. Happy to see the aftermarket community recognizing the potential of this engine. Eager to see the progress you guys make with it. Any way you are able to do a tensile and composition test on the rods? That way we'll know the material they are made of and how strong they are, so...

Wow...first time I've seen that happen with a ceramic coating on a plastic surface. I am a car detailer, I've been detailing cars for 6 years and have been around the ceramic coating technology for a good while. I have never seen a coating cause such a reaction with a plastic surface before. I...
