Newbie in Pune (India)

[trinity]

Hi Everyone.
It was about 10 years back when I saw the first Kizashi overtaking me on the Bombay-Pune expressway., and that's when I remarked.... Man, I gotta have one.

Fast forward 10 years, I did manage to find a local wanting to sell his.
It was in pretty bad shape when I took a test drive. Suspension, Steering, Starter, Clutch, Tyres, Weather Strips.... Aargh way too much was wrong....... Everyone was against me from buying this.

I persisted, and bought it, knowing very well that I needed to do some major repairs. Slowly getting them fixed one by one.

Hope I can get some guidance from the experts and the knowledge here.

Happy to be here!

Welcome!
You came to the right place for info and tips on the Kizashi. While I know Suzuki is a major name in India, the Kizashi was rare there due to it being a Japanese import, unlike most Maruti-Suzukis.
There are a few India-based members here.
Good luck on the restoration/repairs.

Thanks KuroNekko!

Parts are so scarce in India....

My serpentine belt snapped today, and it broke the oil seal.
Ordered both, and will wait a few days for those parts to be arrive.
