Re: Hello new member looking for recommendations

I bought a can of primer and ordered a can of matching paint color/primer to deal with the reflectors. There's definitely a color difference, but I prefer the silver over the orange. Also got right of the light bulbs...

Re: will Kizashi became collector car someday?

My understanding is that only around 10% of all Kizashi's are 6MT GTS/SLS models. It took me about 6 months to find mine back in 2015. Bought a one way ticket to Seattle, met the guy I was buying it from in the airport parking lot and then drove it back to Salt Lake. 10% seems pretty generous. I've...

Re: will Kizashi became collector car someday?

Just for kicks, I looked up if there were any for sale in the US/Canada and I couldn't find a single one with a manual transmission. I can see such a car for sale on bringatrailer.com in 20 years because it is certainly a special model, being the last one sold by Suzuki before they packed their bags...

Re: Driveshaft?

As always, thanks for your input. I drive a lot due to my job and there's about 10 driveshafts I could pick up between $150-$200 (in Canadian Pesos). I would personally prefer to have my driveshaft rebuilt, but I absolutely need the car to be able to run at the moment. Hence why I was wondering if i...

Driveshaft?

Hi, I'm in a pretty remote area for a couple more weeks and my car has been shaking violently whenever I'm driving between 40-50 kmh. It also occasionally does it while driving around 120 kmh. I finally had some free time last week so I got to replace the rotors/calipers/wheel hubs as part of my sch...

Re: Safety Recall - Spiders round 2

I might do it. I'm getting a small leak code and it's not the gas tank cap :/

Re: Amazon basics synthetic motor oil!

When I first got my kizashi @210,000 kilometers, I drained the oil and replaced it with Mobil 1 5w-30. 10,000 kilometers later, I lost just over a quart. Been running on penzoil since and I'm losing maybe half a quart every 15,000 kilometers. Currently @263,000 kilometers...
