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 1...

Re: Vehicle wraps for body protection purpose

I put some 3m clear wrap on the front of my Kiz as soon as I brought it home from the dealer nine years ago. It has served it's purpose protecting the paint from chips. It is also much easier to remove dead baked bugs from the 3m than from the paint. I also removed some 3m wrap from a friends car af...

Re: Still Driving the Kiz

My Kiz has been babied for it's first 4 years. Garage kept in winter. For the next 5 years it was my primary vehicle. Now I plan to semi-baby it until a hybrid or better yet a all-electric vehicle strikes my fancy. I'm thinking maybe two years. Then, since it has a low resale value and is a joy to ...

Re: 100,000 Miles with my 2010 Kizashi

Dang....seriously, original battery AND rear shocks? How'd you get so lucky? Whenever I did not drive the Kiz for awhile, usually in winter, I put a PowerMinder battery charger on. It is supposed to pulse the battery to remove sulfation. Did it help or not I can't say. I do know I used the BatteryM...
