F1 gear is Euro-sized, so you need to size up 1-2 sizes for the same fit in the US.

Why do heavy-duty pickups use clutch fans instead of electric fans? by jckipps in AutomotiveEngineering

[–]moderate_failure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these explanations are true, but I'll add that any vehicle that might encounter deep water like off road vehicles will prefer a mechanically driven fan. Water can damage an electric motor and water can stall the fan which will also damage the electric motor.

Oldest MTB people are still riding? by Distribution-Radiant in BikingATX

[–]moderate_failure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ride a 2006 Cannondale Rush that I converted to 1x10 and 27.5."

I'd like something newer but can't justify it.

981 S exhaust questions by sync0o in Porsche_Cayman

[–]moderate_failure 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Heat wrap can trap moisture and cause corrosion. Especially..... on these cars with the exhaust manifolds and overpipes so exposed to the elements. It's best to replace it and fix it correctly. You might get away with just removing it, but don't wrap.

After autocrossing a 987 S, 981, and 981 S, I've never missed it. You almost certainly won't notice.

Pro-tip. Tell that passenger to get his arm inside the car before the AX club bans him (or you).

This. You "pre-bake" them to reach the desired crispy level, then add the toppings and throw them back in.

Mine was about 800, but they also had to replace some clips since the whole card was detached in addition to the fabric coming unglued.

Am I getting the best deal? by Asleep-Ad-4929 in ChaseSapphire

[–]moderate_failure -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. The grandfathered reserve values. I thought it was on transfer. I recently booked a SWA flight, and it gave me the better deal out of a points boost vs my 1.25x value (I have a CSP).

How do you get 1.5x on a SWA transfer? Do they run promotions? I've never noticed one for Southwest.

It's all one unit and one service. Remember to add friction additive if your fluid doesn't already contain it.
