Is it possible to fit a V6 turbocharged engine in a KIA Optima 2013? What other parts would have to be replaced? Please go as far into detail as you can.

I'm looking at the KSport® - Kontrol Pro™ Coilover Kit, wondering if anybody had any feedback? I feel like the OEM shocks, with the Eibach/Kinetic springs are a bit "bobbly headed" over some large bumps at highway speeds. Thanks!

So I've been thinking of changing the mufflers from my car. I just want deeper sound thats not too loud. I saw someone on the forum adding two 11225 Magnaflows and it souded decent but may be to loud. If I just replace one muffler instead of two will there be adverse effects to the car? more...

Does anyone have the BMC Extreme Concepts K5 II Ground Effects Body Kit? Thoughts and opinions? Recommendations for other kits? Thanks!

I bit the bullet, in this weather in Ohio and took my Kia dealership up on an extended test drive until Saturday. I just spent the past hour in the vehicle, which is an EX (pano sunroof, nav system, etc). The car handled really well in the snow and that Infinity stereo sounded great. I didn't...

Went to visit my mom in FL I took the long way down from my house went from Schenectady (by Albany NY), to Columbia SC to Bradenton FL. Wind and MTS killed my gas mileage, but going down hill it was funny to see my INSTANT MPG to go to 89. The trip was 1500 mile and filled up 4 times on the...

Looking to buy my mom a used car and she really likes the Optima. We test drove a 15 Hybrid, but I was able to come up on a great price for a 13' Hybrid LX for 17k with 10k miles excellent condition. My only question is how does the ride differ from the 15 if any and also is the 13' hybrid loud...

Front Hood FNB Tuning Radiator Grill - Thoughts? I'm considering a grill swap, and found this one on Amazon for $180 shipped. It would have to be painted of course.

Hey everyone, This is my Optima, have had it for 3 weeks now. I've never had window tinting done before, but plan to have this car done this week. The front windows will be 50% by law. What do you guys recommend for the back? Is 5% too dark...can you still see out fairly well? Would...

Did a quick nationwide search of NEW 2013 Kia Hybrids -- it looks like there are still 170 of them sitting on dealer lots. Wonder why they aren't selling, especially since the 2013 is mechanically the same as the face-lifted 2014? Wonder if that will hurt our resale value? Gas prices going down...

First off let me start by saying that I ordered the really bright led license plate bulbs from K5OS, the sale/shipping/product/ect.. was really great. This post has nothing to do with that end of it, it is more to do with how I have come to feel about the led lights. I ordered the lights for...
