Haven't seen much of the way in Vios users complaining about rattles and lack of wind their tires and such. Hell my car rattles on any uneven surface, I just ignore it.

Am I to understand the point of this post is that you managed to find it all by yourself? If not, I don't see what relevance it has with DIY.

I believe back markers are supposed to give way to anyone who is lapping them, the obvious reason being that they're slower than the cars they are being lapped by (obviously). However, a back marker has every right to overtake any car ahead of them if opportunity presents itself, and new for this year, they can unlap themselves when the safety car is out. If overtaking by back markers wasn't allowed, Hamilton's DRS would not have activated. Also I don't remember seeing any blue flags out for Hamilton indicating to him to stay out of the leaders' way.

The lack of basic deductive skills seems to be common among Vitz owners, that much is evident.

Your insurance should cover airbag replacement, just make sure it covers more than 2 airbags.

Depends on the trim e.g XE Saloon, SE Saloon etc.

Your Jeep might possibly use 7 inch circular lamps, which are a common across several different vehicles. If you can verify this, I'm sure you can find a lamp which uses an H4 bulb. Edit: Check out this link

High colonic, yes?

yes, yes i do.

I chose a Pioneer after reading a ton of reviews on this thing called the internets.

Rapid on/off will reduce the lifetime of the ballast, since its working extra hard to stabilize the voltage each time the bulb is ignited. Rapid flashing at traffic is highly discouraged when your high beams are HID. The ignitors are also affected, but to a lesser extent. The shaking of the beam when you see when the car jostles about is due to a loose bulb like stated above. Make sure the clip is seated properly. Also, these bulbs are generic, thus the mounting flange can be removed independently of the bulb. The bulb may have worked itself loose from the H4 flange. The most common reason for this is when we remove the bulb connector, since we normally press against the flange when tugging at the connector.

Can't electroplate non-conductive materials. Nope.

Sure it can compete, doesn't mean it will win though. And obviously it _should_ have better comfort than your average Maruti Suzuki.

Check the valve stem.

I'll find out on Monday, but either way I'm pretty sure she's out of your league

Better than a McLaren pitstop.

There's a black one in the MDS car park, driven by a hot chick no less.
