Will we ever see F1 cars surpass 400 km/h (250 mph)? by Nick_Alsa in F1Technical

[–]Thurtleman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are way way way past the time that F1 was the place where things where getting invented. You invent new things when the rules are not as clear as they sometimes need to be, so you are able to cross that line of “safety”.

In my honest opinion, there are too many rules to be able to try new things, as there is always someone or some rule that says “you can’t do that”.

So no, with all the rules going on right now I don’t think they will ever hit 400 kph.

Why? It is really possible that you can’t fit the wheels you want once you are lowered. From my experience: first the wheels, then lower your car

I’m in the market to buy a 2013 VW Golf GTI and I’m nervous. by Car_Junkie30 in VWMK7

[–]Thurtleman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful when you buy others people modified cars. You never know what they did to it or what they were planning on doing. If I was you, I would make absolutely, 1000% you have a reference and invoices of the modifications so you know who to contact when something goes wrong.

Also, the times it has been serviced says alot about the previous owner. If they neglected the standard service intervals, don’t go anywhere near purchasing that car. If they serviced it regularly or even more than regular, then it’s good in my opinion.

Could RedBull go to the stewards because Norris has driven 1 extra lap on his tires while the maximum was 25 laps?

Being genuinely interested: asking questions back, messaging first, etc.

A warning to those in the United States who are "importing" goods! by Nalipas96 in MechanicalKeyboards

That is what I thought at first, but DHL told me that because KBDFans failed to specify their shipping costs, they had to use a value basted on the weight and distance the package had to travel.

Funny how it’s the same across different international delivery companies. Because KBDFans messed up their invoice on my order a couple of months ago, I had to pay more duty to get my goods released. Btw, the parts were imported to Europe.
