The Upholstery handles in my car looks like the previous owners cleaned their Asses with it. Honestly I've neven seen something that dirty. Also the sunvisors.. I really need to find some upholstery handles guys.

1. Not effecting the airbag I would say is dependant on the car. Some cars have the airbag being deployed from the top (the top has a hatch) and in some the hatch for the airbag goes from the front to the back.
2. Hmm...interesting. Never used a cover but my dashboards ahve been factory fresh too...albeit I do use cleaning products on it (which even if the cover is there I suppose would need).
3. Looks...that is subjective

@iRage Non-slip material
Yes, cleaning is necessary despite the cover. I just clean it with a damp cloth, let it dry and spray some matt dash finish and wipe

While carrying a Nightbreaker bulb in my hand my hand knocked my hip and the nightbreaker fell into the water.. I dried the nightbreaker in the sun.. Will it work now?

Bits would gradually corrode and give away, night breakers are pretty much overclocked or tuned bulbs that run a bit brighter than standard bulbs, they normally last like 2 years with standard usage
Now they are kind of phased out during to the led influx.
I had a them in my hilux and defender
Usually after wading, the fog light bulbs which were night breakers used to give away in a month or two, those days the bulbs were like 2500lkr which was a decent buck, a pair so I did give attention to cleaning them and drying them out if I saw water ingress in the lights.
They never lasted, while the Headlight bulbs managed atleast 2 years.
This was the early 2000s and the led fest had not begun.
Now I have light bars which get soaked regularly, nothing happens!

Go for LEDs off a good brand, they have the color you like and the lumens to light up the road properly. And batteries last longer as their draw is drastically reduced. You save on the long run,
Newer models light up the chamber just like the halogen bulb so there are no issues with light scattering

I dont want to replace shocks in my car because I love the bouncy feeling in the car like those cars in Snoop Dog Music videos..
-
Okay...fair enough...
But you do realise that this is going to
- effect the braking efficiency of the car (because of the weight transfer), subsequently brake pads are going to wear out faster because of this as well.
- effect handling (because of the weight transfer)
- reduce the life span of your tires...(because the geometry of your suspension is pretty much off).
- going to transfer more road vibration etc..which can cause interior panels etc to start vibrating
- subsequently cause damage to suspension components and require much more than just shock replacement
If you like the soft bouncyness....there are other ways to go about it.

@iRagenow I realize what causes the rattling noise from the rear speaker or door or something which is annoying

My existing car meter cluster is having Parkinsons. Wonder if I should keep it as it is or do something about it.

@MaleCortanano idea. the speedometer goes up and down and going up instead of just going up straight away

Bought a 93 presea. Need an original single din cassette player or a single din used mp3 player and sun visors that match beige interior. Anyone?

Here's a trick if you want a car to be bought for your price regardless of the advertised price: Take an empty bag when going to inspect the car. Lie to the owner saying you have cash right now to make the deal if they sell it for your asking price. When they say no, get up and say bye. Then they definitely say OK to your price. pay and advance and go home and tell them to prepare the documents. Thats what I did.

Finally advanced a 93 Presea R10 model. Got one for my wanted price. Waiting for a week now until the owner gets the documents signed by JP

Decided.. im not going to buy a car. I aint gonna pay ridiculous prices for 20+ years old rubbish. I'm going to use the hassle free uber option until prices go down. If it doesn't go down, i will never use a car again woot woot!

If someone is looking for an engine head and block and sump, does that mean the whole engine is gone and need to be overhauled or replaced? asking cuz I was going to buy that car and came across a post where the owner had posted this in a car group few days back.
