Re: New Tire Suggestions

I got new tires back in October and went with Nexen N5000 Plus. They are a budget tire at around $90 each but so far they've been great in the snow and rain. I've used TireRack in the past but discovered a different online source called TireBuyer and ordered from them. They offered a $20 off coupon ...

Re: What's missing off this axle (outer pass side)

Re: Replacment brakes

Hi all, I'm reviving an old topic since some links are dead/outdated. I'm looking to replace both my rotors and brake pads and I wanted your opinion on it. I'm planning to do this on my own.

Re: Anyone seen this?

A buddy of mine just made a great suggestion. Import the car illegally, then when you get caught, claim it as an undocumented illegal alien and quote the executive order dissallowing deportation. Hey, you might even qualify for free insurance! Just say you accidentally ran your Kizashi through a ho...

Re: any known 2013 kizashi issues?

Re: any known 2013 kizashi issues?

I have a 2013 AWD SE and I haven't had any problems. I sometimes get the "turbo spooling" sound that's been discussed in the CVT threads so I'm definitely paying attention to that but that's the extent of my worry. My biggest complaint lately is the OEM tires. I'm just over 19k miles and a...
