Quote from rockclan :Bij mij in de familie zegt iedereen tot aan de kist, ach.

Was explaining him in Dutch that everyone in my family says it with the word "aan".

Don't worry, many native English speakers on this forum suck harder at their own language than you do.

Has anyone tried to crash the cup MX5? I seem to be unable to cause any visible damage.

Not that this is my usual goal

Quote from mogster :Gotta love Kobakaze \o/

Quote from Swiss-Spirit :Also often used is the mix with his forename:

Kamuikaze


It's a bit of a cheap cliché to refer to attacking Japanese drivers as kamikaze.

I think he is quite a clean racer.

He just has excellent racecraft and is not afraid to use it.

Quote from tristancliffe :And if you can drive off without your lights on, then it isn't dark enough for lights - rule of the road #422: Everyone switches their lights on about an hour (or two) earlier than needs be.

It's never too early to drive with your lights on. I never drive without them being on. IMO it should be mandatory.

Quote from Mp3 Astra :In the British commentary, Martin Brundle said the added downforce would help once the cars are up to about 50mph off the line.

Yes, it's clear that it does help at a certain speed but not off the line.

Maybe I took "off the line" A bit too literal.

Quote from JPeace :Alonso will get mugged by Button at T1 in my opinion, the amount of d/f he is running will significantly help him off the line.

Having more wing does not affect the traction off the line. The launch relies more on mechanical traction.

Any manufacturer is welcome as long as it does not go further than engine supply. I prefer private teams.

It's not a good camera angle for proper judgement.

It looks like the Corsa just turns into the Z. But if the Nissan driver did overshoot his braking point then it's a different story even though the Corsa driver might have had the option to let the Z slide off on his own and turn in a bit later.

Just a racing incident, no reason for ban or penalty.

Voted for Webber as his car potentially works better on most of the comming tracks.

Hammilton should be able to put up a good fight.

Vettel's points gap may seduce him to more foolishness.

I do expect some solid races from Button but not enough.

I would not be suprised if Alonso would finish third in the standings.

However, with the new points scoring system, points gaps look bigger than they actually are. A non-finish of one of the main contenders can shake things quite a lot.

With the frequency these offers come by, I am not tempted to take the bait just now. There will probably be many offers before my current subscription runs out.

Considering the oil tank is integrated in the bell housing (I have a hard time visualising this concept) increasing the oil tank volume will probably not be an option. Otherwise, that would be my suggestion.

Edit:
By the way, why would you want to reduce the heat rejection into the oil? Transfering heat away from the components is one of the primary functions of engine oil.

Quote from tristancliffe :I think I'm going to remove the oil cooler and save the weight. Maybe use one of the oil additives that is meant to reduce temps quite a lot - http://www.simplan.co.uk/product.html - although I don't believe the marketing... Probably can't hurt to try it...

I suggest steering well clear of additives. Additives may improve one property but generally compromise others.

It may reduce friction but it could also reduce the ability of oil to adhere to surfaces as is required on cylinder walls and (non ball)bearings.

In terms of oil, there is nothing more you can do than just using a good quality oil and keep it fresh. These are formulated as a package which should be a good balance between all properties.

Threads like these are allways good for troll identification.

Anyway, don't know who you are but welcome back.

Quote from sinbad :I suppose you could have been using a 0w oil, but perhaps not advisable if it's at those temperatures? 130+ is pretty toasty

The number before the "W" does not relate to the high temperature viscosity.

A 10W40 oil is very likely to have a lower viscosity above 100 degrees than a 0W40 as the 0W40 has a better viscosity index.

I purchased a 5A power supply with it from the same supplier. No noticable noise what so ever.

There is no way of deriving the output power from input when the efficiency is unknown. T-amps are kind of D-class amp, these are very efficient compared to class A and class A/B amps. I have a class A tube/mosfet headphone amp which is more hungry than the T-amp even though it can only power headphones.

However, the specs of this amp are no mystery. These are the specs:
