Re: After Kizashi - What New Vehicle?

What after Kizashi... I just bought a Kia Stinger last week to replace my beloved 2012 sle awd. I loved that car enough to go through 2 engines and 2 transmissions over 180k. I think the stinger has everything I loved about the Kizashi and more. I highly recommend it for Kizashi lovers. I'd love to...

Re: Car is getting no electricity

Thanks KuroNekko! It was indeed a bad battery connection. When I replaced the battery a month ago or so it died in a grocery store parking lot so I just gathered the basic tools and changed it myself in the parking lot. I should have taken it home and made sure everything was tightened up but it was...

Car is getting no electricity

Hi all, I have a 2012 Kizashi and everything was fine until this morning. I drove last night and shut off the car when I got home. This morning I went to start. For about half a second, long enough for the wipers to go up half a stroke, I had electricity then nothing. I can't even unlock the doors (...

Re: Can anybody tell me what this is under my kizashi and if this is a problem? (pics included)

Hey Guys,

This is a great thread. Can anyone tell me the size of the pipe? I need to get a new one as mine has a hole in it. Also does it have to be welded in or will clamps be sufficient?

Thanks so much!

Re: LED headlights

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H6NZ6MK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I installed these this summer (as low beams) and they have been great. The install was basically like installing traditional bulbs, dropping the bumper etc. The one additional step was that I did have to rig...

Re: How to replace or change the side marker covers

Thanks KuroNekko. I found it to be exactly as you said. I also removed the three bolts on top as if I was going to drop the bumper must to give me a bit more wiggle room.

Re: How to replace or change the side marker covers

Hi All, Interesting reads. I just had a bulb go out on my side marker. I have read through the whole thread but I didn't see where it said how to replace it. I've changed headlight bulbs and am familiar with removing the bumper and think maybe that is the method to get to these side marker bulbs but...

Re: sway bar

So in my continuing saga of rear suspension problems here is where I stand. I was able to order sway bar bushings from my local dealership for $15 ea. which is overpriced but I'm glad to be getting them. In the meantime I wedged a rubber hose washer in the worn out bushings to fill the gap. I know i...

Re: sway bar

Hi Jeff, So my "transmission" story: At right around 96K I was getting gas about an hour away from home and when pulling out of the gas station the car lurched just a bit but then went back to normal. I drove the next 50 miles to home and just after going through the toll plaza (PA-76 and ...
