Re: Drive Belt

I'm about to replace the drive belt. Has anyone had trouble with the idler pulley or belt tensioner ? Just wondering if I should replace them now or keep as spares. Thinking the aftermarket pulley's will not be the same quality of OEM. How many km are you at ? Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Re: Still Driving the Kiz

I haven't posted here in years. Bought my AWD GTS Kizashi new back in late 2010.....I'm still driving it almost 9 years later. It's just a daily beater 'drive to work vehicle' now that allows for my other vehicle to stay parked. It has only 95K miles on it, of which is a little lower than average f...

Re: What Did You Do With Your Kizashi Today?

Damn...not what I wanted to hear. Just changed it out and whining again, or still?? I'd go the full three myself. Maybe even 4 if you're going to keep auto-crossing and you're not dropping the pan or changing the cartridge filter. As I'm sure you know, either process yields quite a bit more fluid d...

Re: Still Driving the Kiz

I'm driving a 2012 GTS Sport without the AWD bought it new from a closing Dealership at nearly half the MSRP price and have never had a regret on this purchase, 7 years later the car still runs great and its look still stands out in a crowd with its look. I just turned over 51K miles. I never ride ...

Re: Use of Spotify in Kizashi

I have found a different solution i just plug in a blue tooth speaker. Not ideal But its ok to listen to podcasts. Sent from my ...
