LAP3 Members Introduction
I have been a member of a Kia Optima Forum for years, since I purchased my 2016 Kia Optima 2.0 Turbo SXL!! I have only been able to find basic parts like intakes and exhausts. Was getting very frustrated and made it known on the forum over there, and after years of continual asking about performance products…I got the link to this site, and I am loving what I am seeing in every aspect. I feel like I can finally build the stylish sleeping monster that I have always dreamt of with this car. I have a 1993 Mazda RX-7 that scares the crap out of everyone, where ever it goes since that rotary sounds like a V10 Race Engine.
But it’s a race car from the factory!! It looks like one and acts like one. Not to mention after you really put some work into the performance. However, I do also love my Optima. I was looking for a new everyday driver, and knew nothing about the car, but it caught my eye. So we took it for a test drive and within a block, I knew I was taking it home! For the first year I felt like I found something new that the car was capable of doing that I had never had in a car before. Didn’t have a clue about all the bells and whistles. But, now with 65,000 miles on it and multiple recalls for different things…I’m starting to get bored with it. Thank God I have found this site and this community. I now have hope in building a beautiful, clean, but mean sleeper. Also looking to do enough exterior modifications that people don’t really know what the car actually is.
Looking forward to getting to know a lot of the members here as well as the Mods of the Forums/people that work and tune at this business!!
Thanks for having me,
