  1. Engine and Technical Discussion
    Trying to get my stock midpipe off to replace with the quickpower pipe I purchased off another member. One of the bolts, I assume must be stripped as it keeps spinning when I try to take off the nut. The others seemed to be irremovable, and just the nuts come off. The top of it is flat so I...
  2. New Member Introductions
    New to the Optima but well experienced in the car and car forum scene. Used to own a full bolt on 2012 mazdaspeed 3 that I had to sell due to growing family. Had a few vehicles since then and here I am with a 2013 SX. Looking for technical information and to kill some time. Would love to help...

    Does anyone know the stock lug nut length? I'm using the stock lug nuts on my aftermarket wheels, and I was going to get the Varrstoen V75 Super Extended Lug Nuts which are 75 mm (3 in) long. Just wondering on the difference in length so I know if these would look too long compared to the ones...

    I have a 2013 Optima SX that came standard with the 8 spoke Luxury wheels. Short story I sold those OEM wheels when I got my custom wheels thinking I could run the customs through the winter. Custom wheels ended up peeling clear coat. Back on the market for a set of OEM wheels for "winter"...

  6. Interior and Exterior Modifications
    I want to get different lug nuts on my wheels, not sure what size though. Does anyone know the right size for the 13' lx? And the rims I've got are Sparco Assetto Gara. I'd appreciate feedback, thanks
  7. Wheels, Tires and Suspension
    Anyone happen to know what the size and thread pitch of the nut used to attach the rear sway bar to the end link bolt is? I lost one and need to replace it. I found a plain hex nut that I had around that fit so used it for now. But, I want to stop by Ace Hardware and get a proper flange nut so...

    Hi everyone! Got a 3 week old EX with 17" stock rims. I bought the spare tire package online (can't believe it didn't come with one) and I wanted to get an old fashioned (but new) lug wrench to more efficently change a tire if needed, rather than the single "toy" lug wrench it came with.* Does...

    Well im super pissed right now. I was in the process of removing my eibachs today and I stripped my strut post threads and the strut nut is toast too. Had to order a whole new strut from a dealership. Best news is that because of memorial day, it wont be available til Wednesday. Also, it...
  10. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    So here is my stupid question of the night. I was putting in my new sport pedals and well, I dropped the nut that goes in the top part and just lost it. I heard it bounce 2 times and then nothing. I even pulled the carpet in case it maybe fell in the small open section for the steering wheel...

    What's the torque spec for tightening on a 2012 EX like 70-80lbs?
  12. Wheels, Tires and Suspension
    Let me set this up... Just bought a 2013 EX and then purchased some 2012 SX rims w/tires. The rims did not come with lug nuts, can I simply use the lug nuts off of the 17"factory rims off of the 2013, or is it protocol to get lugs specifically for 18" rims. I dont know if it matters, just want...

    My son just bought the EX with 17" wheels. I am shocked that it didn't come with a spare tire or wheel lug nut locks. I called my dealer today to see if I can order a spare tire kit but they said that it wasn't available yet. I ordered lug nut locks online but I don't what size lug nut wrench to...
