Re: What Did You Do With Your Kizashi Today?

Over the past week, I have gotten a performance chip and I gotta say it has been the best purchase. In the future, I plan on getting a RRM cold air intake and maybe more rims. Which chip did you get. Does it use more alot fuel Sent from my SM-J530Y using Tapatalk Interested to hear your experiences...

Re: What Did You Do With Your Kizashi Today?

Mind you that’s 600 for struts, shocks, strut mounts, new bump stops for front and rear, and new sway bars all around. Just the shocks and struts alone were 220.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Kizashi Today?

Just bought a full set of KYB front and rear struts & shocks myself and will be having the same thing done next week. I also figured while they had everything disassembled I should go ahead and replace the front bumpstops and boots (https://www.shocksurplus.com/products/kyb-strut-boots-sb113) as...

Re: Getting the "GLS" repainted - should i install bumper with parking sensors?

Next to that wine colored Kizashi from over-seas, this has got to be one of the finest examples IMHO. Very nice looking sir! [mention]Ronzuki [/mention] thanks very much! It’s had quite a bit of work done to it this year, starting with a new stereo in January, so I’m glad to see it’s resonating wit...

Getting the "GLS" repainted - should i install bumper with parking sensors?

I’m not a fan of aftermarket wheels, but I must say those are pretty nice. What kind of product do you apply for that polish/gloss? Like a ceramic spray or something similar? I wish I could use those kind of products but I have to park under an oak tree at home that constantly drops pollen and dust...

Getting the "GLS" repainted - should i install bumper with parking sensors?

I actually did a smoke tint on the front "bumper lights" and they don't look quite so awful now. Rather than upload a bunch of pictures here, I'll just direct you all to my Kizashi Instagram account where you can track the progress of the various upgrades I'm doing: https://www.instagram....

Re: Do manual Kizashi's have hill hold?

My 2011 GTS manual most definitely does not have that feature

Re: will Kizashi became collector car someday?

Tend to agree with SRN here. I think if it had aabout 100-150 more HP and there was a factory AWD V6 or Turbo 4 option it might be a different story. But as it stands now, my guess is this will be a VERY niche collector car that will only be collected by the hardcore Kizashi fans like you see on thi...

Re: What Did You Do With Your Kizashi Today?

I'm glad this topic is back up because I am certain at this point of around 100K miles, I need new shocks on all four corners. Years ago, there was a discussion about OE vs. the KYB shocks and struts (dampers, collectively) and whether the various Kizashi models (FWD vs. AWD vs. Kizashi Sport vs. K...
