Sport Mode Saturday

[DarkMossJustin]

Good news. There’s a new thread for a group buy for Borla exhaust. Get 25 units to get down to $390. Pretty smoking deal. And also I think they want you to manage it . Get it done. Pedal commander and Intake can come later

are you serious?

No one's tagged me in the thread yet but I'm still working on "accidentally" befriending Borla employees.

$390 is much better than $500-550 that I was planning to spend, so if this is real and not a belated April Fool's Day prank, I'm in.

Link me to the thread?

Borla Exhaust group buy interest? minimum of 25 units at $390

I reached out to Borla this morning and got a quick reply below. I know 25 units at $390 doesn't add up to $10K, but I'm leaving it at that. I have zero interest in starting or managing this gb. But willing to join the gb at this price. I'm just the messenger! Who wants to manage this...

An order of 10 CNC machined axle-back Borla exhausts for the 2020/2021 Kia Telluride at $300 each, shipping included, with no "group bank account" requirement sounds more reasonable to me.

I need a face-to-face with the Borla people at their HQ in Oxnard

Group bank is probably so they can get there money all at once and not have to get from 25 individual people as some might back out then they give a deal to less people then they wanted. Maybe try to hold a sign that says “ it’s me, @DarkMossJustin, if you want 25 orders open the gate!!”

True it might be hard to get to 25, would be sweet if they could do10 for you guys. Tell them you’ll advertise for them with a Borla wrap

10 is more fair for a group buy.

25 is insane.

I need to develop some alternative assets inside Borla besides our ambitious new friend Ryan

Also:

WHAT?

You want me to cover up my perfectly designed AWD Dark Moss Dune Brown Telly?

Never gonna happen.

If they can design and professionally CNC machine a perfect monolithic “Got Borla?” trailer hitch cover out of 6061 T6 aluminum, I’ll consider sticking that on the tow hitch receiver and advertise for them for a few months while I live my life a quarter mile at a time

 

[DarkMossJustin]

By the lack of posts, I'm assuming y'all are celebrating Sport Mode Saturday by living your lives a quarter mile at a time !!!

HAPPY SPORT MODE SATURDAY y'all !!

Keep on keepin' on !!

Also... let me know if y'all are still interested in the Borla exhaust group purchase...

Are you in?

Group purchase of Borla Exhausts for our 2020-2021 Kia Tellurides. Are you in?

If we have ten real commitments (in the next 7 days), I'm going to need y'all's contact information if we go through with this and they accept: Borla Perfomance Industries, Inc. Part #11965 = Borla Exhaust for 2020-2021 Kia Telluride...

Hahaha, that's not how the business negotiations are going to go down.

It's Oxnard and Camarillo, not Deadwood and Tombstone

It was just a convenient parking spot on Ventura Blvd, the main street of Old Town Camarillo, surprisingly available probably because the store closed an hour before I drove by.

I'm developing a few contacts at Borla and hope to have some movement on the proposal and some "mostly peaceful" price/quantity negotiations soon

Old West style "negotiations" not necessary.

If Cam Gun Store were open, no parking spaces would be available and there would be a line of customers around the block

Plus, I've been good on ammo since early 2018

Thanks for caring

Saturday SPORT Mode and Tacos Time!!!!!!

We went for the tacos!View attachment 18209View attachment 18210

Sport Mode and TACOS is way better than boring Netflix and chill !!!

What kind of tacos?

Al pastor?
Pollo?

I had a chile verde and tacos chicharrones con salsa verde the other day.

Need to Sport Mode somewhere for a long hike and jog haha

Does the Pedal Commander REALLY improve gas milage on the Telluride? Anyone here have it installed that can verify?

There are some people that claim they gain 1-2mpg with the pedal commander but I’m not sure on that. I do have it but it’s not installed yet.

Quote from the internet:
GAS SAVINGS: The Pedal Commander's ECO Mode can help increase your KIA Telluride MPG and save you up to 20% in fuel economy. ... WILL NOT VOID YOUR WARRANTY: Pedal Commander will not void the warranty on your KIA Telluride or leave any trace behind on your ECU.

Most people are just getting it for more throttle response and that’s why I got it. I also got it before I took delivery of the telluride thinking that it wasn’t gonna be up to the throttle standards I had and I’ve honestly been quite happy the tellurides driving that I havent taken the time to install the pedal commander or even take it out of the box I’ll probably install since I’m past the 30 day return but I also might try sell.

I'm pretty happy with the pedal feedback/throttle response and especially whatever the settings are for Sport Mode.

The Telly really comes alive and I feel the most connected to my car in Sport Mode.

If I could delete Comfort (default) and Smart Mode, I would.

A perfect set-up for me would be Sport Mode (default), Eco Mode (one click counterclockwise left), Snow Mode (one click clockwise right).

I would also make the Drive Mode Selector turret clicks more positive, tactile and audible, like the clicks on a quality manual Pentax or Canon camera from back in the day or the turrets on Nightforce rifle scope.

Sport Mode for most driving needs (accelerating onto freeways and navigating traffic, passing cars, carving canyons, curvy coastal roads, country roads, every time my car stops at a stoplight, I make sure I'm in Sport Mode so I can accelerate to speed limit as fast as possible and create maximum distance between my car and the cars behind me (mostly fugly Subarus so who cares, right?).

Eco Mode is actually useful for when there's no traffic and I can just accelerate up to the speed limit (or maybe a bit above) and then take my foot completely off the pedal and coast the Telly. It's a good coaster on flat and slightly downhill stretches of road and highway. Heck, I was coasting down a downhill section of the PCH, a well-known speed trap right before Decker Canyon Road, listening to "Easy (like Sunday Morning)" on my phone's "Telluride" playlist on the Harman/Kardon sound system at 8AM when LASD pulled me over for my first speeding ticket in decades

Since y’all aren’t posting any photos for Front-End Friday anymore, i’ll post my Telly photos here from now on.

Got a quick wash at the gas station earlier on Friday and forgot to take any photos for FEF.

Hopefully y’all can escape Comfort Mode and Smart Mode for a little fun today, Sport Mode Saturday

Just swung by a closed Borla HQ then made a nice quick run down the misty PCH from Mugu Rock to County Line (Sport Mode of course) and now back in Cam:

Hey, where'd you pick up that center/grill light mod from?


Car looks nice, I haven't seen the interior on a SXP as far as the screen, I like yours better than the one we have on the exp.


I've never used eco mode, but I sure don't feel a need for more throttle in sport! Peeling the tires out on accident multiple times now...maybe I just need better rubber than the oems?

Peeling the tires?

I call that fun but I’m mostly used to RWD cars, hence my need for a RWD Stinger GT2

Here’s some interior photos:

I don't have the interior lights either I don't think!


I am fine peeling tires on purpose, but pulling out of the doctors or something when their windows are open is embarrassing lol. I would LOVE a stinger, but Ive hit a stage where I prefer to blend in and be invisible if you will. So that's why I just bought a hyundai gt-n line. No one is gonna look twice and my dorky hatchback, but it still has a little pep.

Invisible?

What exterior color is your Telly?

Telly is big, bold, and boxy and definitely stands out.

As far as hatchbacks go, at least you’re driving a Hyundai Elantra GT N Line and not a fugly Subaru Outback with a bunch of obnoxious stickers on the back, right?

My wife drives the Telly! Sold a lifted 4Runner for it. She’s got no problem standing out. The amount of looks I get driving this telluride is insane! Men, women, old and young, they all stare!

I come from a long history of traffic violations and have been trying to hide for a few years now lol I was going to look at Subaru then remembered I don’t vape and decided to stick to the Hyundai/Kia family
