Re: Improve power...please help!

The other day I took a good look the 6 cylinder from a Vitara and I bet it would fit in the Kizashi engine bay with custom motor mounts. That's 230 hp in stock form. Although mating it up to the drivetrain might be an issue. I actually just picked up an Eaton M45 from my friends totalled Benz C230 K...

Re: Impressive snow performance from my Kiz GTS AWD.

I am very eager to get some legit snow tires on my Kizashi. Even with the stock tires it is pretty easy to control with the TSC off. I don't think the diffs are as good as the Subaru's since it's harder to get it to rotate in tight corners or doing a lighthouse. I've got 14 years of snow driving in ...

Re: Intake/Catback ordered

Looking at I would bet it is not stainless and will rust out in a few years if it sees frequent rain/snow. I would just get Borla and be done with it.

Re: Foam Filling

It's all pointless really, unless you have tons of other suspension upgrades and drive the car on the limits of traction, which no one does on public roads, you will NOT notice a slightly stiffer sway bar and chassis.

Re: Dunlop SP Sport tires- observations

A lot of places do it. Most tire places will, I know all Goodyear/Gemini are supposed to.

Get a free alignment check. It's not the tires.

Re: Should I become a first time Kizashi buyer?

When I was looking for a new car I originally wanted a slightly used Audi S4 Avant, which are hard to find. The best one I saw was in Chicago, and like yourself i did not want to spend the money to go look at. I went to a local Audi dealer and told them I was interested in that car and they contacte...

Re: Brake service

Just check your pad thickness. If you don't have any pedal pulse then your rotors are probably good. Unless you constantly ride your brakes you won't have enough glazing to cause any issues. If you don't see any fluid leaking from the caliper then most likely won't need any adjusments.

Re: Lowering springs

Are the H&R spring progressive? And what are spring weights?
