Re: What Did You Do With Your Kizashi Today?

I took mine autocrossing for the first time. Ended up getting third in my class, but there was no way I was going to get close to the Fiesta's. They were over 5 seconds ahead and ran faster times than many cars in classes ahead of us. This was actually the first time I've ever heard my CVT whine. I...

Re: The Kizashi Spotting Thread!

I was in Milwaukee the past couple days, and as I backed up to leave the hotel, I glanced to the side and noticed a white base model Kizashi sitting in the lot next door. That's now the third one I've seen, including mine. Oh man! Why didn't you mention you were in MKE? I would have driven up to se...

Re: $12 Mobil Oil Rebate until 10/31/18

I'm going to piggy back off of this topic to mention that Pennzoil has a $10 mail-in rebate on their synthetics until the end of the year with no limitations on retailers. It can be up to a $20 rebate if you choose to receive your rebate as Shell Fuel Rewards.

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

If you fold the rear seats down, you can fit all 4 tires in the trunk and back seat. I've never had issues with mine messing with the car while transporting them.

I'm surprised to hear about the rust. I think that's the first time I've heard of body rust on one of these.

Re: Car Jumping when switching into Drive or Reverse Gear

I believe they're saying the car lurches when put into gear. I know other members have mentioned that their car developed that over time. Mine has been doing it since I first got it used. It's very minor though, so maybe the OP's is more severe?

Heat shield. It goes over the chunk of exhaust closer to the front of the car. I would guess that most of ours look like that by now.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Kizashi Today?

Easiest solution to this problem would be to disable the DRLs and carry on as if we were adults with the ability to make our own decisions. https://www.kizashiclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=3012 This is exactly what I did. I did it before I had put the LEDs in for high beams, but it was al...
