Re: Suzuki returning to USA

Just wanted to clarify that suzuki is still selling in most of the countries which make up the North American continent.

FWIW rumors are that suzuki is #2 in Costa Rica (Toyota is #1)

Its actually pretty cool to see more suzuki than Hondas and Nissans for once :D

Re: Reprogramming TPMS - anyone have it done?

I previously got new sensors and successfully got the system to learn them without any tools. I thought there was a writeup somewhere.. I sold my gts years ago but just bought an S because I've always wanted a manual. Anyway if I remember correctly the procedure is the same except that the sensors g...

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

Thanks for the suggestion guys! What I did was do the process all over again.. but this time I watched the indicator light as it blinked.. I made sure it went solid for a few seconds after deflating the tires which apparently means it learned all of them. The first time I didn't actually check if it...

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

Hey guys! I've been lurking the forum for a long time.. and for a while I didn't have a kizashi. I bought a used one recently (a few months ago) and the previous owner apparently was cheap with tires and their maintenance. I didn't notice this until after I bought it, but it had four different brand...

Re: This is the engine they need in the kizashi

Too bad it would never fit. Also, its a mid-engine design.. And, its no daily driver engine.. that beast's twin turbos would be a drag and waste at most city driving speeds.. not to mention the gas used by this thing! And noise.. lol. But a guy can wish right? I wonder what engine they used as a bas...

Re: hello,new member from China!

Very nice! If you can't find the information you could just pull it out of the engine and get all the measurements yourself, or take it to a place where they can replicate it (in the best lightweight aluminum you can get). Im also guessing that there are shops or local mechanic guys that can get you...

Re: What is the ONE thing that bugs you about your Kizashi?

I'd have to agree with the aftermarket parts being too scarce. But I can understand that the car is just too new for a lot of these guys to suddenly want to invest on making parts for it. Another minor thing.. it took some getting used to the heavy flywheel that makes the engine stay at revs for a w...

Re: Rental Fleets

Well being a rental is not necessarily bad... being the lowest classification yes, but even if it were.. it means that it has to withstand constant abuse because rental people just love beating the things to death :D And, if anything, it also helps boost Suzuki sells.. which in turn helps us owners ...

Re: My new Kizashi Build**

i brought my car to suzuki to get resprayed under warranty due to rock chips, the body shop did a terrible job at respraying, now the color difference is quite obvious = = Dont settle for anything less than 100% satisfaction.. They have to make it look original because its a warranty job. I took my...

Re: To add turbo or to trade-in...

I say take a bit of a chance and have a shop custom design you a turbo system.. all they need to do is make the necessary headers, pipes, and fittings; as you can find the actual turbo intercooler and blowoff valve elsewhere (turbonetics, etc), If you DO put a turbo, then you'll have a one-of-a-kind...
