Greetings to all
I recently purchased a 2005 Vitz RS (JDM spec) 1.5 5 speed manual.
So far has been a great car and I love it, I just had a few queries maybe some of you could help me with:
-I've got the factory HID lights and they seemed to be angled too low, they are really bright but they dont light up enough of the road. I know car headlight beams can be adjusted, how would I go on about readjusting my ones ?
-This is the first time I have owned anything close to a sporty car (tuned suspension and exhaust etc) I am surprised as to how loud it is, don't get me wrong, I love the sound but I feel maybe the dude who owned it in japan may have done some mods. I have heard other Vitz RS on idle and they sound the same but I havent heard them on higher revs. Also, the suspension feels great, quite stiff and doesnt roll in corners. Anyway I can check wether my setup is factory or not ?
-I have driven a few manual cars, and the clutch on mine seems quite stiff compared to the rest. Its a small car but the clutch feels quite heavy, I drove a Honda Fit and a Corolla hatch and they both had very light clutches.
-Now this problem I also have with my Vios. The accelerator pedals are those e-throttles. I find them waaaay too light and sensitive. On my Vios if I rest my foot on it, it will rev to 5K rpm. The Vitz is bit better but still not great. Is there anyway I can stiffen them up ?
-My side mirrors have led turn signals on them, but the right side one is totally dead. I am generally good with taking parts of cars apart and repairing them etc, but how would I go about opening up the mirror, I don't see any easy way.
Regards.
