Vossen CVT’s + Michelin Pilot Sports on my Kizashi GLS (manual GTS upgrade project)

I’ve been pondering this wheel and tire combo ever since I got my 2011 Azure gray manual GTS in 2014. Today I finally made it a reality: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200521/3a18d0b750df902a58c1f4510e56eb6c.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200521/d53362c38b47b0866bd18370735e43da.jpg https...

Re: Rear Shock failure issue and TSB & Warranty Repair

@Sasha-CR Can you (or anyone else on this thread) confirm the KYB SB113 Bumpstop will work for this TSB repair? How has the part held up since you did this last year? I'm looking doing this repair sometime in the next month and wanted to see if going with the non-Suzuki OEM parts from KYB has posed ...

Re: After Kizashi - What New Vehicle?

Echoing @kuronekko 's comments here: I plan to keep my manual Kizashi "GLS" until it dies, which given its stellar (which is to say almost non-existent) service history so far, could easily be another 10-20 years. That said, as a DJ, drummer and biker, this is not the best car for hauling ...

Re: Kizashi 6sp MT shift knob thread pattern?

Yeah I’ve heard that about the aluminum knobs, but fortunately my car is in the garage most of the day so even here in Florida it’s not a major issue for me. I’ve also got the windshield sun blocker always ready to go here because Florida. I just realized that a brushed aluminum knob would go exceed...

Re: What I didn't know about HIDs and LEDs

I was about to do either an LED or HID conversion as i just had another bulb fail for the second (possibly third?) time in a year. But this thread is giving me pause. But then, I live in Florida where the state gov, apparently, does not require vehicle inspections or emissions tests. I love my MT “G...

Re: Headlight bulbs keep failing

Thanks again to @KuroNekko for yet another very informative post about what I view as the single worst pain point in Kizashi ownership. I've literally had nothing else go wrong with the car (other than paint that scratches too easily I suppose) than the too-frequent headlight bulb changes. I've gott...
