    Bought my 15 LX and really happy with it. Although the Turbo was appealing to me, I've got my bike for the speed fix ?. Unfortunately I'm having a trunk issue where it opens randomly. Been searching on the forum but haven't really found the solution (besides a key fob cover and ghosts). This...
  2. 4th Generation Optima (2016 - 2020)
    Hey guys, trying to decide if I should keep our 2016 Optima SXL with almost 17K miles my wife drives, or get rid of it. I was disappointed of it before receiving the letter about conn-rod bearing damage that can be 'excessive' (like if any was good), due to increasing oil consumption (1/2-qt...

    Wanted to give a shout out to Jasen1 for his DIY posted on the Hyundai forums for the NP chargepipe, Synapse BOV, and NP intake to stock air box. Followed it from beginning to end and it was spot on for the Optima. If anyone needs a link it's: Installion For The Nameless Charge Pipe And...

    So I wanted to thank this forum very much for pointing me to the TSB 132 update. That has made a world of difference and I wanted to share my experience to encourage others that seem hesitant. I also thought I'd give my tips at how I was able to get the dealer to do the update (thanks to...

    Unreligion got my coilovers installed today ... I'm glad I could be his gopher and I learned a lot during the process. The whole thing took about 4.5 hours. I think it looks great even though Un says I need to ditch the 4X4 tires, lol. So, once these wear out I'll go to something with a...

  15. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Hello All, I just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone on this forum. I never really thought about moding my car when I bought it, and to be quite honest I never thought that I would be part of a forum. In fact I used to make fun of my father for always being on his Ford Lightning Forum...

Thanks to all you guys on here I was able to set up a claim and the new springs have an ETA of October 2012. You guys are the best...
