I ended up replacing a pulley on a tensioner of my kiz this weekend. I set out originally to replace the entire tensioner body, even buying the OEM tensioner for $200 online. I figured if I couldn't get the old one off, then I could just take it to the shop and have them put on the tensioner I bough...

I'll add my tiny bit of help for anyone that happens to be attempting to replace a serpentine belt. I did not need to replace the belt since it was already fairly new because I had the water pump replaced at a shop a little over a year ago. I just didn't want to monkey with trying to replace it on m...

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 fo...

Drove it to the park to go running. I've owned my Kiz since 2010. I just replaced the water pump as preventive maintenance a few weeks ago. I have a new truck that I drive for pleasure. My Kizashi is my daily driver since 2010! Still going strong!! Shows no sign of slowing down. Only downside is it ...

What are you talking about? I just replaced (did it myself) the rear shocks on my 2010 AWD Kizashi a month ago. The Kizashi has shocks in the REAR, struts in the FRONT. After replaceing the rears, I noticed no difference. Although years ago the "NTW Tire" technician told me that my rear sh...

It's July 7th, 2018 and I still have my Kizashi since 2010!!!!!!! Just had the water pump replaced in it last week, even though the water pump still seemed to be good. I plan on driving this until 200K miles!!!! As a daily driver to work vehicle to keep the miles off my NEW truck. Had a corvette pre...

So here we are in April of 2017. I have had my Kizashi GTS AWD since 2010 that i bought brand new. Still drive it. Just got back from work travel where I drove a 2017 Buick LaCrosse for a rental. Nice car, leather seats. Didn't care for it. If I were to test drive that same LaCrosse today, I would p...

Had to do the dreaded headlight bulb replacement. Drivers side. Yes, it involved pulling the top of the plastic bumper covering down to get access, and then unscrewing the areas that were holding the headlight assembly in. Took about 1 1/2 hours since I took my time. It wasn't a hard job, just an an...

I've been mulling over that one for the past year or so lol. I bought my Kiz in late 2010 and still have it. Although I have not put as many miles on it as I have other cars in the distant past even though it's been my daily driver since I've owned it...73,000 miles. My usual pattern has been to dri...

I drove my 2010 Kizashi GTS that I've owned for just about 5 years home from the airport. Why am I writing this? I felt compelled, because when traveling for work, I always get a rental car at the city I travel to. I've driven many types of rentals, and then fly back home to my Kizashi that's been s...
