    I have an '04 Kia Optima. I was driving down the road and completely lost power to everything. I first thought it was the feul pump. I changed it and it didn't start. So I changed the feul pump relay and it still didn't start. On the data link, we were able to bypass everything, and the feul...

    Hey I finally put on Megan Street Coilovers, didn't make any adjustment yet because I think out of the box I was told is already 1.5 all around I could be wrong. So if anyone has an Eagle eye can you tell by the picture if it looks even or does the front look lower? could be uneven surface...

    Hi all.I'm new to the world of Optima, having moved over from BMW and Mitsubishi. I have a question regarding the tuning on a non-nav stock radio in a 2014 Optima - the tuning only increases in increments of 0.2 - this means that I cannot hit on 92.0 FM (One of the few English stations here in...

    I've had HID lights for about 12 months now. Relays and capacitors. I recently just installed a new relay and capacitors on the fog lights because the old one broke. My fog lights now stay on even when the car is off. I have to turn the car back on to be able to get them off. I got them off last...

    So I have LED Strip lights as an alternative DRL and I will soon have switchback LED's and I was wondering if anyone knows a good affordable shop that can wire those for me. I've been getting quotes from $70-$140 which is way to **** expensive. I'll even pay a user so nice cash if they can do it.

    So the car just crossed 500 miles yesterday and the sunroof stopped opening as well. Tried the reset procedure and also holding it to manually open as well. The dealer couldn't get me an appointment until next Friday. Just glad it is stuck shut I guess. Anyone else have similar issues?

    Not great with the search engine here so apologies if discussed elsewhere (please link!)... On the way home yesterday, with everyone safely buckled in, the seat belt alarm started dinging and continued to ding. We all unbuckled and rebuckled, didn't help. When stopped, turned off the car...

    I know we have threads about what will fit in terms for offsets, rim diameter, and tire sizes. My question to anyone out there is , is it even possible to achieve a concave look on a rim that is 20x8.5?
