As stated in the title, I am unable to access the forum where I live anymore (Kuwait).
It seems like you guys have changed some settings on cloudflare where it geo-blocks access.
It's not my IP as I have tried multiple ISP connections. Only got through with a VPN (:

Hi ive been interested in these cars for a couple years now, ive previously owned a few trucks an infiniti g35 and g35x and a volvo s80 v8. I am in a position where im now seriously looking at a newer car, some questions I had about Canadian models.

I was wondering if there were any indigo editions or a gts variant sold in canada?
I also was wondering if the 2018 and 2019 models had a mechanical lsd in the rear?
Brochures ive found say 2020+ does on the higher trim level but nothing on the 18 and 19.
I'll do some more forum searching tonight but any knowledge of the Canadian models would be lovely!

I recently went on vacation for nearly a month ...

Left Jan 5th, and Jan 30th is my first day back at my car...

I have a BM6 logging battery voltage measurements every 2 minutes....
Voltage can be seen fluctuating with extremely cold temperatures we had.

Jan 22 was -16°C measured at the battery. Screenshot_20250130_155414_BM6.webp

And to my very pleasant surprise, she fired up with relative ease today, after 25 days of being parked. Cranking voltage only dipped to 9.01v

I honestly was prepared and expecting to come home to a dead battery.

I even recorded this video (for the sound), expecting the battery to be not powerful enough to start the car.



This was a very long post to simply say, my car started today, and I consider myself lucky. My original battery is 7 years old now, and I do nothing special to maintain it, other than disable ISG automatically every drive cycle

Funny or clever plates. Anybody seen any?

I saw 2 yesterday which made me chuckle.

On the back of an AMG CLA45 - “AMGOMG”

And on the back of a Toyota Hilux - “HIRUX’

I guess the Hilux could potentially offend some people but I thought it was funny. Bit surprised they let it through TBH.

Anybody else seen any funny plates?

Good day,

A local shop quoted me $560+HST CAD to install my Eibach lowering springs. They come highly recommended.

Curious to know what others on here have seen.

I recently installed a carbon ceramic brake rotor setup from Jisu Sports as part of my ongoing effort to build what I consider the ultimate Stinger GTS. I’ve been driving on just the front CCB for the last couple months and just got the rears fitted. For context, I’ve previously run the Fella setup on this car, and before that EBC two-piece front rotors. Both of those setups were solid and performed well, good bite, good heat management, and overall a noticeable upgrade over OEM. That said, this carbon ceramic setup is on a completely different level.

Beyond just the raw stopping power, the biggest improvement is in vehicle dynamics. The reduction in unsprung and rotational mass is immediately apparent. Turn-in is sharper, front-end response is quicker, and the car feels way more composed under hard braking and trail braking. With less rotating mass at each corner, the suspension can do its job more effectively, improving mid-corner stability and overall chassis control. Pedal feel remains so much more consistent even after repeated heavy braking, and brake fade is essentially nonexistent, and confidence in high-speed braking zones is significantly improved. There’s also a subtle but real benefit to acceleration due to reduced rotational inertia, no numbers but you can definitely feel it.

One bonus that matters more than I expected: THEY DON’T RUST. Surface rust on iron rotors has been a long-standing pet peeve of mine across multiple vehicles, and it’s refreshing to have a setup that stays clean and consistent without the usual corrosion issues. So this wasn’t a cosmetic upgrade just it fundamentally changed how the car behaves. The focus of this build has always been balance, control, and repeatable performance, not just horsepower numbers. This setup feels like a major step toward the GTS the platform always deserved.

Happy to answer questions or share more details if anyone’s considering going this route. Here is the link to my supplier, the representative Yilia Liu was super responsive and friendly and helped with every step of the process.

Good evening everyone, got a check engine light on my 2022 gt2 code "P0430 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 2." I understand that there is a total of 4 O'2 sensors with 2 being on each side, I was curious if anyone else has gotten this code and happened to know which sensor I need/which side its on/before or after. thank you for looking.

Anyone else have oil leaking from this location?

Went to do an oil change today, and notice oil dripping on the steering rack motor. seems to be either coming out of the top of the oil filter housing near the crank and or from where the oil cooler attaches to the filter housing.

Anyone else have this issue?

Car is a 2022 GT2 with 72,000 miles
