Checked the battery and/or alternator?

Its annoying that in order to be competative in the hotlaps I have to spend hours and hours learning how to set up a car

You don't. Download setups from Setupgrid/Setupfield and put them in your <LFS>/data/setups folder. Fine tuning will help, but you should be able to find good settings to work from.

Quote from Fors :

The disks spin at 5400 normally but under load they do go to 7200.

That's just dodgy marketing on WD's part. The Green drives spin at a constant speed somewhere between 5400-7200rpm (generally 5400rpm); they don't change speed with load.

Some folks have misinterpreted some admittedly vague specs on WD's website. Under "Rotational Speed," the manufacturer cites "IntelliPower (5400 to 7200 RPM)." This does not mean the drive dynamically changes its spindle speed during operation... indeed, such a feature would entail considerable mechanical engineering and would in many ways defeat the point -- rapidly accelerating and decelerating the spindle's speed would increase rather than decrease net power draw.

You're right, I hadn't noticed the OP had disabled that.

203 mbit/s = ~25 MB/s, but for 1080p it'd be 30 MB/s.

Not what I'm seeing...

I dunno how old your HDD has to be for 30 MB/s to be "alot of I/O", even USB 2.0 external HDD's manage that (not talking about 3.0).

Did you pull that figure out of thin air or do you have anything to back it up?

What sort of drive(s) are you trying to capture full size video @ 29.997 fps on? It takes a lot of I/O bandwidth to do that...

Looks like a lot of fun.

Plenty of good entries but it has to go back to Quicksilver for the added punnage.

I'm sure I'm missing a piece, I'm so tyred, maybe after a wheely good sleep I will rimember what it is.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

an artificially inflated price tag because the manufacture has decided their cars are worth that much.

The market has decided they're worth that much.

As braking forces increase the emphasis on wrist strength training becomes more important.

This is one of my first posts. This is my first thread.

Quote from BlueFlame :

It's obvious what he was 'trying' to say. What he 'actually' said, was a different matter.

Hehe, you still don't get it, I see. The phrase "tainted by experience" isn't intended to be taken literally. It's called sarcasm. Since you seem to want to look at facts, let's go through the timeline. From your original post:

Quote from BlueFlame :

From my experience, that's a long first gear, in non-performance road car terms at least.

I've highlighted the most important part of the post. What your post says, when taken literally at least, is that you have experience of a non-performance road car which has a first gear with a top speed less than 20mph.

Then you post this:

Quote from BlueFlame :

Come to think of it guys, I don't think I ever went full throttle until the rev limiter in first gear, so my point was invalid.

The second post confirms the fact that you were either lying or mis-remembered actual events in the first post. That is, you were giving advice based on experiences which you didn't actually have. Given some of your other posts I found this to be amusing (as did others) because it's my opinion that you regularly talk about things which you have no experience of and expect to be taken seriously.

Anyway, this reminds me of a quote from Stewart Lee about Jim Davidson:

Quote from Stewart Lee :

Jim Davidson is not a performer troubled by the duality of meaning

Make of that what you will

"It's a shame massive car failures don't happen more often when Clarkson is driving".

Quote from BlueFlame :

Good call bro.

Unsurprisingly you totally missed my point. Also, are you sure you want to actually try and debate using facts? It seems like it would be quite a departure for you, given your usual style.

So you think splitting atoms is a natural process?

Also, joining atoms (nuclear fusion) is the basis for a lot of things in nature (the sun and other stars for example).

It's OK. We all know none of your advice is tainted by experience.

In the past desperate teams would run under the weight restriction during pre-season testing to drum up some interest (since there was no requirement for the car to conform to the weight regulations in testing). Is there any possibility that is still going on, or do the cars need to go through scrutineering during testing now?

Quote from MadCat360 :

If you buy a product in a shop, the price is the same for everyone. It's not adjusted based on how many returns one type/gender/race/age of customer might make. If you DO return the item, though, you may need to pay a restocking fee. Penalty for ACTION, not innate traits.

The problem with that logic is that you're lacking understanding of how insurance actually works. The cost of insurance has, is and should be based on risk. Charging a flat rate for all policies is nonsense because it doesn't take into account the statistical probability of a claim. Let's get off the slightly sensitive areas like gender, race and age and think about other factors that do and should influence the cost of car insurance. Should a person get lower premiums if they park their car in secure, private parking in a low crime area compared to someone who parks their car on the street in a high crime area? Ignore all other variables for the moment (car, driver age/sex/race etc). Just consider the fact that one car is much less statistically likely to be stolen.

i read a lot in the internet about it in the last 2 days and its very easy and safe

You should have also read warnings about the risks of core unlocking. Yes, in most cases you can unlock disabled cores. However, in some cases you'll run into problems (including instability). If you manage to unlock it successfully remember to stress test it for stability.

Ah...so this explains what all the Mayan stuff was about.
