End of August I bought a 2016 SX. Already did Tint, Wheels, and badge swap. Have D2 springs to install this weekend. And a sweet red BOV sound plate on the way. Will order my AEM intake next week. Want to do the DRL vents but don't know who I would take it to for the install (I have bad luck...

Coming back from dinner last night, freeway moving fast but congested, vehicles ahead suddenly stop HARD. I managed to stop inches from the car ahead, but then ... WHUMP! ... apparently, nobody told the lady in the car behind me we were stopping. I was standing on the brakes, but she still...

Hey there fellow enthusiasts! I'm late to the game, just bought a 2012 Optima SX (Spicy Red) w/50,000K. Its in great condition and all stock (except Kia Remote Start) and seems to have everything but Nav. I plan to slowly start making it mine. Changed the oil to synthetic once I got it, but...

Hello, I don't have an Optima, but my wife does: a 2013 Optima SX-T. I'm mostly here for information on upkeep and repair information. ---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ---------- OK, what are the rules on this Forum? Why can I not comment on...

Hello all, I previously joined the forums as "redredwine" but since purchasing my 2012 Optima SX I've decided to schedule a fully body dip that will be changing the color of my ride to a nice matte "World Rally Blue" taking inspiration from the legendary Subaru color (my personal favorite.)...

Took the car in for a "power flush" of the transmission. Now let me say that after owning Hondas for 14 years and was told NOT to power flush a transmission and only do a drain and fill. Now I had them explain the concept due to the fact I have never heard of it and after calling both Hyundai...

Howdy fellow 2.0t enthusiast... so I got my self the HKS SSQV 4 from K5 during the holiday sale and as the title states. As soon as I almost hit peek boost it drops considerably then climbs back up a few psi...it has also purged under throttle/WOT on me... .....sigh...any ideas anyone?

Hi All, I started this in the "new member" section but now that I have 5 posts I am starting this in the correct section. Also, munky should merge the rest into this for reference. Much of what I will share would be duplicated, so I will try and urge those that have not followed from the...

Hi folks. Last month I went to the dealer for a oil change and I showed them a little oil leak that I saw in the back / rear of the engine. I was told that it was a timing chain cover gasket that must be changed under warranty. The gasket was changed. But today, I noticed there is another...

my lease was up on my 2013 kia optima LX. I decided if they couldnt deal i'd buy the car because i have had no trouble in the 3 years. I've leased it. I could buy it for 14,000 which would be a 284/mo payment, or lease a 2015 for 285. So I got another LX :) Its a shade darker with black interior...

So I installed the springs today and I am so happy with the drop. I can't be any more happier!!!!

My 2O12 Optima EX came with the "tire mobility kit." I bought a refurbished wheel, a new tire, tpms, spare tire hold down bolt, and a used car jack tool kit. Tire is 215/55R17 and fits perfectly. This wheel and tire should be able to be rotated with the others.

Well, even before the first oil change, this morning, my wife on her way to drop our 4yo daughter at VPK got rear ended by a **** PT Cruiser! They are both ok side a little headache from my wife. Wish the SX diffuser fit on the LX! major rebuild of the rear lower area, where the spare would...

I would like to hear from those who have leather seats. How well your seats are holding up? My specific questions are; 1) What month/year did you buy your Optima 2) Any issues with your driver's seat? Wear, tears, cracks. 3) How often do you clean & condition your leather. Thank you for your...

Yupp I jumped ship. After owning the optima for 8 solid months, I traded it in for........A focus! lol more on that later. The car was almost perfect at 80k miles, only the transmission range sensor went out and that's not an expensive fix (like $80 for the sensor and an hour of labor.) I had...

So i wanted to make some wheel well led light rings i saw on youtube because i refuse to pay $200.00 when i know i can do a whole car set up for about that much. I set out to make something like this So i started hunting around the net and decide to use superbrightleds.com i could have found...

This post can go either way at this point, I'll update as warranted. End of June, I was presented with a contract to buy a Kia Optima SX Limited. The vehicle was pretty much loaded. Trade-in accepted, price accepted, monthly payments accepted, I even accepted the Gap insurance even though I...

Well folks, I have been a long time lurker and I've learned alot from what's been posted here; including the horns and installing HID fogs. Though this was my wife's car I had plans for it since I primarily do the car shopping for her :) Anyway we truly enjoy her 2013 SXL but with only ~13k...
