I had an old 9800XT and bought an Arctic Cooling Silencer for it and the situation was identical. They still use the very same pads.
I bought some cheaptastic heatsinks from the local store, glued them on and it worked like a charm (but watch out wether the new GPU cooler leaves enough space for the RAM-heatsinks!). It also worked without the heatsinks, but I intended to overclock the card (because it was damn slow!).

@Electronics: In a modern car you don't tell the car anymore which way to want the front wheels to be pointing, you tell the car which direction you want to drive.
Which is also why people are crashing. They think that you use the steering wheel to make a car go around a corner. Or that the brakes are there to make the car go slower.

The only class of cars that doesn't need indicators is the quickest class on the track. All others want indicators so they can let quicker cars through.
(Of course without the automatic-turn-off mechanism, so you can indicate longer than one turn.)

@Bladerunner: In german it's similarly uncommon/disliked.
But, is that specific phrase gramatically incorrect or logically incorrect? Logically two inversions void each other, but strict logics don't always apply to commonly used terms of spoken language.

I'm still waiting for season two.

I only know languages where it's usually negative. In italian double negative is negative ('non ho niente'), in german it can be negative ('kein garnichts'), and in english it's also usually negative ('not eat nothing').

You failed to understand the principle of ricing!
See in the attachment how I cunningly placed three Arctic Cooling stickers on my case, even though there is only one product currently present. Also notice the Gigabyte-sticker, which is also from a product that no longer resides in the case. But no, the system runs win2k SP4, so there really isn't any TCPA-software on it, though the hardware is present.
And other indicators of incredible craftsmanship are the DVD-device that isn't in the place it should be, so I always have to open the door to access it, and the black thing in the floppy-slot, which is a 80GB hard-drive which isn't where it is supposed to be either.

How about listening to "Magical Trevor"? That always looses me quite some time...

There are good looking modern cars.
But most look horrible.
There are cars like the Mercedes A class I basically hate. But why not take a look at the Audi A3 (quattro, anyone?) or BMW E87? I also kind of like the Seat Leon, and I wouldn't mind a Ford Focus WRC either. With a bit of creativity you could turn the Smart Roadster Coupe into a nice 4WD turbocharged fun-vehicle.

Remember though that passing without waiting may work in most cases, but it only takes one awkward going pass in 40 laps to remove you from the race.

Here is a kind of official numberplate.
Though I didn't adhere to the colorscheme of the numberplates for each class. On the track the background color isn't important (the number is unique either way, and what type of car it is is visible aswell) and so I used a white background.

I don't think we need anything fancy.
Just tell the race leader to drive slowly enough for everyone to keep up. If necessary, tell him to speed up or slow down via chat.
Then declare the race open from the last chicane onwards.
In the event we practice that once, from standing start to opened race beyond T1 (should take about 4 minutes), and then start the official race.

Well, I did challange JayHawk in his XFR for a few laps today, until I let him pass. 
(I was trying to see where the XFR is good and where not, in the feature race I would've let him pass earlier.)
There was some pretty good racing today on the server.

We usually remove the relays that automatically cancel the indicators from cars for track usage. It doesn't safe much weight, but a lot of trouble. That way you don't have to care about the indicator when you drive through a couple of turns while indicating to one side to route a few quicker cars through.
Otherwise the indicator would go off every few seconds and you have to reset them while you are negotiating a turn while watching those quicker cars in your mirrors.

The FZ0 already has enough weight. What it has too few is drag. And a passenger doesn't increase drag unless you mount the poor fellow on the roof.

40 cars is a minimum for me. Though I'm willing to make a compromise for now.

1. As far as I remember: You can change the hardware as much as you like. LFS doesn't check wether it's still running on the same hardware it was unlocked on. I didn't even need to unlock again after I build a new computer, because the hard disc with LFS on it was untouched. (Which was the only device that was taken to the new system)
That was a while ago though. So don't sue me if it's wrong.
2. You get new unlocks each month. That's really sufficient for everyone, considering that the unlock stays with you forever until you delete the LFS-folder.
If something bad happened to your installation and you consumed all your unlocks you can ask the LFS support for an extra unlock, which you then usually recieve within a few hours. But usually this isn't necessary, because as said, the unlocks refill as time progresses.
3. Yes, the sounds are quite different. Though I personally recommend fine-tuning the sounds with a software-equalizer. That is obviously dependant on how LFS sounds on your specific hardware and how you want them to be like.

I have a question about the start:
The FWDs start incredibly slowly from the standing start. The LRFs will qualify behind them, but they will propably overtake them on the start. This will very propably cause a lot of trouble.
Should we consider a moving start?
Suggestion:
The driver with pole in each class leads his field around the track in medium pace after the start. The admin uses rcm-messages to instruct them to drive quicker or slower. After the 'formation-lap' the different classes should have around a minute time between each other. The race starts right behind the final chicane.
The procedure is practiced once directly before the event.
We should observe starts on the practice server and decide on this. I didn't yet drive with many FWDs together.
To the other drivers: I will make extensive use of the indicators. If I indicate left that means I will stay on the left side (that's how it works on racetracks here). So watch the indicators and passing will be a lot easier for both of us. I advice other drivers to also use the indicators.

I don't give more than 9 for a drifting movie though.
I think it's hilarious. I love everything that makes fun of drifting.
