I am new to this forum; however I am not new to forums in general. I have owned an E90 M3 (Dinan Package), E92 335i (Stage 3), 2001 Audi S4 Stage 3+ (530awhp) and I currently drive a B8 (2011) Audi S4 Stage 2+ (new S/C Pully and tune) Along with a 2008 Lincoln Navigator for the wife. I bought the Kizashi from http://suzukiofmanchester.com/. We actually had no plans of buying it until we were at Enterprise Rental right next store returning our car before boarding our flight from the Manchester Airport. Well sure as shit, our flight got cancelled. Now, we have been looking for a car for our son for about a month now. So as we walked out of enterprise, and we stopped in at Manchester Suzuki to see this Kizashi that EVERYONE is raving about.
My wife and I took it for a test drive, we both loved it (a little underpowered). We then tried a money transfer (that was going to take 24 hours. We wanted the car that day to drive home instead of flying), so I put it on my credit card and took delivery THAT day (Only a few hours later).
I had them take a quick look over the car before we set off on our 7 hour drive back to Long Island. The car came with 13 miles on it, and was so dirty when we gave it to our son. He LOVES it. However, he is not into cars as much as I am.
To the details. the car is a Kizashi Sport SLS Navi Edition AWD I the Vivid red, or Crimson Red metalic, not too sure. Stock for now, no need for pictures until the modding begins.
I will have a baseline dyno run before I have ANYTHING installed. Well... maybe coilovers and wheels first.
My son is not much of a car guy; however, I am going to hook him up.
First coming Mods
1)KW Variant 2 Coilovers Along with RRM rear sway bar (It will be SLAMMED)
2)HRE 590R Forged - 18x9 - with the polished finish (used off a friend, great deal with tires)
3)5% Window Tint on sides (Front and back), and 35% on whole windshield (Llumar)
4) Having my local tuner shop do a 16g turbo (similar setup to the RRM kit; however they only have FWD) I will be using the same tune, Injectors, fueling and same FMIC core as the FWD turbo kit option.
5) Exhaust- Holding off for now, waiting to see what I do with the Turbo and downpipe. most likely will be the RRM exhaust.
6)As I have read, I will need a CVT cooler installed with the turbo
7) Carbon Fiber Bumper Cap (already ordered)
I do most of the work myself (Rotary lift and every tool under the sun in my garage), So I can wrench away at night, and hopefully he will not notice downtime on his new ride.
Once again, giving a shout out to the guys at Manchester Suzuki in Manchester, NH for helping me get this deal done in one day! Sorry if you are in this area, these GUYS WERE AWESOME TO WORK WITH; however, I do not recall who I worked with.
Extra info, I paid a touch under sticker (which is way better and WAY cheaper then any car dealer around NYC)
I know you were all looking for the question "I just bought a Suzuki Kizashi, what should my first mod be?".. So sorry to be disappointing
With best regards,
Sean.
