Re: Kizashi V6 or V8 Engine Swap
My limited understanding of the i-AWD system employed by the SLS and GTS CVT cars is that it's quite tightly integrated into the CVT transmission. DO you know if it would even be possible to manual swap a CVT awd Kizashi? No idea, just a dream. I'd imagine its "doable", but just like swap...

Re: What Did You Do With Your Kizashi Today?
Replaced the shocks and struts with KYB Excel-G's last week, and wow! I didn't think the original ones were in bad shape, but its like driving a whole new car! Just flat going around corners, no roll. Definitely reminds me that Kizashi's were designed with handling in mind! Hey SRN, thanks for your...

Getting the "GLS" repainted - should i install bumper with parking sensors?
So it's looking likely that I will be getting a full repaint job done on my 2011 "GLS" 6MT. There are a bunch of small, but annoying noticeable scratches and dings on basically every body panel that I noticed from parking in a high foot and street traffic area. The paint / body shop said i...

Re: installing aftermarket Blind Spot Detector(BSD)
Curious how this worked out for you? How does the blindspot monitoring alert work? Does it beep? is there some kind of visual feedback you have if someone is in your blindspot?

"Bitchin' Kizashi" - that would be the name of my youtube video series documenting the whole process :lol: . My limited understanding of the i-AWD system employed by the SLS and GTS CVT cars is that it's quite tightly integrated into the CVT transmission. DO you know if it would even be po...

Re: Kizashi V6 or V8 Engine Swap
Ok maybe not EVERYONE, but there seem to be so few actual RRM turbo Kizashi owners here and the one person who I knew had actually done it (armykizzyguy I think) was pretty unequivocal about it not being worth it. That said, he seemed to be interested in more of a super-tuned STI or Evo level of of ...

Kizashi V6 or V8 Engine Swap
I'm gonna open up a whole can of worms here: Assuming I had the budget, what would it take realistically to swap out the 2.4 liter 4 cylinder Suzuki engine with a V6 or V8 (perhaps an LS crate motor?) What all would be involved in such a swap. Please no comments on how expensive or hard it would be ...

Re: Vossen CVT’s + Michelin Pilot Sports on my Kizashi GLS (manual GTS upgrade project)
Yeah I think that’s the direction I’m headed as well. I’ve seen a couple similar examples and I really like the gray with black chrome all over look. I think I’ll just keep the green calipers as the color element. thanks!

Re: Vossen CVT’s + Michelin Pilot Sports on my Kizashi GLS (manual GTS upgrade project)
As promised, some more proper pics and video. These were not taken with my GH4 after all. Instead I decided to try a photo and video shoot with my new Mavic Air 2 drone in the world famous 1111 Lincoln Road Parking garage designed by Herzog & DeMeuron in Miami Beach, where I used to live. I deci...
