    Howdy from the big state of Texas. I've been lurking and looking things up here over the last couple of years. Figured I'd just go ahead and join. Looking to learn, add, otherwise hangout here. Glad to be here, my new friends.

    After a decade in Nissans and a couple hondas i took a break a couple years back. Last summer I bought an 06 Elantra off a whim as a DD, I was impressed with the pristine motor and simple mechanics. After helping a friend work on a 2015 SX-L i was sold. I then did some searching and found a...
  4. The Service Center
    I have started noticing a weird noise coming from dash or instrument cluster when AC is turned off. May be the noise is there when AC is running but I couldn't hear that much. Did anyone experience the same ? I am planning on taking my car to dealer tomorrow morning.
  5. Hybrids
    About to pickup a `14 EX Hybrid this week... I noticed on the test drive though it doesnt have DRL's... I was expecting to see the LED strip in the headlamp to act as a DRL. Has anyone installed a DRL module and connected it to the positioning led's in the headlamps on the 14 hybrid? Thanks!
  6. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I have matching 5000k fogs, lows, and switchbacks.. though I always hit an OCD period from time to time on whether or not I want to run with my fogs turned on or not... more and more I feel like I like the cleaner look of just the low beams with matching switchbacks and keeping the fogs off...

    The other day when I was taking my SX to the food store, I realized the turbo wasnt even activating. The car wouldnt top 50 mph!! Took it to the dealership and they came back with two codes. One was a turbocharger boost control position sensor a circuit was out. Had them take a look at it, took...

    The title says it all, I have not had any car other than a Honda or Acura, up until now. I have a Black LX with the upgraded UVO radio. I original purchased this car because I have spent tons of money over the past few months fixing the wife's car (04 Nissan Quest). I will never by another...
  11. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Wife's got the car at the moment, but I'm 99% sure that when I'm driving at night, fog and headlights on, the fogs go off when I hit the high beams. I looked in the owner's manual and didn't see anything to indicate why they would do that Can a forum member check their SXL to see if this is...

  15. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Hey guys I just bought a new Kia Optima and have no complaints so far. I came from an Infiniti M35x that also had a smart key. I used to be able to get out of my car with it running and the smart key would still work. This would enable me to lock and unlock the car if I was running into the...
  16. Interior and Exterior Modifications
    First off, Sorry NJ OSX, need for people to see, so they would know what they could look like. I install DRLs on my car. I know people have been looking for a DRL that has a smaller back on it to fit the with the US spec bumper support, but I really think that it can't be done. After you get...
