    Ever watched Unacknowledged?

    I've not mate, what's it about?

    Problem with people today is they all think too much. Over think what the government do etc. Over think stupid stuff to find offence, Over think bloody gender for god sake. Just get on with life, stop overthinking and be happy.

    No problem with thinking too much mate, you'd expect the government to have some sort of transparency but they don't so people ask questions. It only becomes an issue when your over thinking and then start believing stuff without any plausible evidence or truth. I agree with that though, live, love, laugh and be happy in life!

    Shyam, not enough people know about all this stuff, or dont care as they feel it doesnt directly affect them. Lot of people either live blind or with their eyes shut.

    Its all very interesting indeed. Propaganda.

    Yeah that's fair comment, just like depression is a lot more wide spread then it used to be and maybe it would relieve them from the stresses after realising the truth. i.e there's alot more to life than just materialism and basic shit like that..

    Everything you do, see, read, eat and buy is propaganda thats the beauty of capitalism. Not that I believe in other systems.

    As for the internet and such, anyone born after 2005 is f**ked kids nowadays are brought up and bred to all compete as to who can be the most offended. The generation of prizes for everyone brigade, people nowadays cannot accept criticism because its engrained into them to take offense.

    No one needs to take responsibility for their actions now, you just look for something to blame and leave responsibility on their doorstep.

    Makes it seem like we were lucky our generation was only f**ked by drugs lol.

    haha yeah I agree mate, well internet has unlocked a massive door of information. It's the age of information right now and it's whatever you choose to study(providing its from a good source with ref/proof). Unfortunately a lot of trends going on with them youth that just spend their time scrolling through dumb fb videos and porn rest of the other time when they could be spending their time learning about something more creative.

    Ryan Lang has a good point though about the government, media etc.., the way society is going and trends are following through, it's scary to think what the future holds.



    When I was a kid, I actually had somewhat a childhood. Now kids don't even go out to play, they just stuck on their 2D screen indoors all day being fed nonsense mainstream media.



    And look at the lyrics of mainstream music that kids listen to these days, it's all about sex, drugs and rock n roll amongst some other things and I'm not even going to start with daytime TV and news. It's a worldwide psychological war going on atm and it goes beyond the government. We're talking the rich elites of the world like the Rothschilds, etc who pretty much own the entire monetary system. The government and the 'Jayz's and kayne wests' are all just puppets to an elitist, pagan agenda for the likes of Rotshchilds and Rupert Murdoch etc.



    Slight thought on religion, have you ever wondered why all religions start out with an Orthodox perspective and then get changed with time to different sects, i.e with Christians, you got Orthodox, then you got Catholics & Protestants, with Muslims, you have Orthodox, then you got Sunni & Shia, With Jews, you have those Orthodox who follow the Torah, and then you have those who follow the Talmud in more recent times. Strangely enough, the Orthodox perspective in all religions is essentially the same, however with the presence of powerful empires back in the day have caused all faiths to be divided and conquered respectively. Just remember that all pagans worship the same devil no matter where they are in the world. And all good people from all faiths worship the same God (if you believe in him that is).



    Nevertheless, we're living in a interesting time in history atm.

    haha well this was interesting.



    Before the said date, some Mayan dude on youtube was going on about how the media twisted the truth about his culture and how the last date on the Mayan calander has nothing to do with the end of the world. It's actually got something to do with a massive consciousness shift after 2012 and people are supposed to get spiritually enlightened or some shit. lol

    0-60mph in under 5 seconds

    Lol jeez, I had no idea this thread blew up, thank UKSO for multi-quote.

    you can do 5 second pulls in a automatic glanza quite easily seen it and been in a few over the years. Autos seem to launch better then manuals. Getting under 5 will be hard but doable i guess with a good setup.

    Oh really, would like to see more info on this. I would have thought otherwise and I'm deep into preparations of converting my auto to a manual.

    Been riding for nearly a decade and never had a problem.

    Commuting is the worst, cars simply don't see you and you need to be mega alert.

    It's not uncommon for some Honda tourers to do well over 500k on an original engine. For superbikes it's not a question of reliability as it is maintenance, keep up the maintenance and it will see you happy all day like, but each manufacturer has a bike with some problems.

    Bikes aren't that dangerous in themselves, you only have to read trevstars post in the members section to realise cars are no better, that false sense of security absolutely makes it was. I guess the real problem in some bikes will do 70 in first or second so it's really more of the fact it's easier to find yojrself doing high speeds.

    That said, stick to the limit and pay attention to the road and you will very rarely be in trouble.

    Bikes are way more interactive and even at slow speeds can be really good fun!

    Yeah mate, bikes are a lot of fun but not as safe. A lot of silly drivers out there that could end your life if your not alert.

    No chance

    haha was starting to think this Maddox.

    Roads i live near are proper bikers road, Loch Lomond national park kinda area. Dukes pass. Death by decapitation does not sound appealing.

    lol

    4 paw, probably pretty easy, if willing to launch. But any fwd car would struggle. Even modern ones with more power and technology struggle

    Yes, 4paw would probably be the best shout in achieving this. Probably not worth the amount of work unless come across a tidy 4paw in the future.

    As long as we can agree, bikes are full on shit.

    lol Chops

    Launch control is basically your only hope. Good power and tyres with a lot of practice at launching it as fast as it can be set up to launch. The effort isnt really worth it in anything other than a dedicated drag car, youll break parts like mad anyway.

    Yeah for real, probably best building something that launches really well rolling in any gear.

    I drive a BMW x3 and I would be surprised if a starlet could launch as quickly as it can never mind an M3 or M4.

    A stock Starlet would have no problem launching past 2.0D X3, I've blown away enough 120ds in my stock starlet and a 120d is much lighter than an x3. I would have thought a low spec/mid spec tuned starlet would give a 3.0D X3 a good run for it's money. And a M3 or M4 would be a totally different ball game which is why I thought I'd start the thread. I thought maybe a fully forged starlet with all the props and correct set up may stand a chance?

    Id be suprised if an m3 or 4 could hold a candle to my old forged scoob, let alone your x3 lol, whats your point You can make anything do anything with enough effort!

    Considering a standard old impreza turbo does 0-60 in 6 seconds, and considering a p1 does it in 4 and a half seconds, i do not doubt your words. I'd bet a forged well set up scoob could easily out run a m3/m4

    A m4 just about does 0-60 in 4.5 seconds an f80 m3 does 3.8 different ball game id say

    I would have thought they were the same, they both have the same 3.0 engine and do 60 in around 4.5 seconds.

    my mx5 turbo does 4.3 average from a gps log.... (273bhp)

    my starlet is quite alot faster but much slower to 60. fact is a fwd will never give a true 0-60 on the road.

    rolling starts from 50 is where a good comparison is

    also my mx5 runs 13.4 1.4mile at 107

    starlet has run an 11.8 and 124

    Yeah mate, gotta love it when your coming the end of a 50mph zone on the motorway and you put the pedal to the metal and the car just launches so well. Your right though, I think the key to this is not having a fwd set up. Most cars that launch really well are rwd or 4wd. Having said that, I've seen a few mad golfs out there that launch really well on fwd.

    The thing is, how relevant is a 0-60 really anyway, we all know starlets are fast from a roll, why bother trying to match bullshit beemers and the like off the mark when you know if youve got the power to weight youll charge past as soon as you make traction :).

    Chops, like this perspective mate and probably one I'll be taking. Off the mark is where most of the awkward eye contact is made though haha

    2.7 my best 64ft time

    Starlets aren't built for charging off the line unfortunately

    Phil

    Yes, starting to gather now pal.

    4paws do launch quite well, but every time i do it i think right this is the time the halfshafts will snap.

    haha are 4paws quiet temperamental then? Getting hold of parts must be a ballache aswel

    just a word on bikes - nothing can beat them in terms of speed obviously, but the thing thats always put me off them is that so many accidents on the road are someone elses fault. and if you are on a bike you basically have a very good chance of being killed in most common medium level accidents for cars.

    p.s - i got very good at launching my td04 starlet. 253bhp and good tyres and an LSD and best i could get was a 5 seconds dead maybe a smidge over.

    Bikes have certain laws of physics which inevitably make them quicker. The thing is, superbike vs mcar/amg, you'd probably predict that the superbike would come out as the winner. Whereas starlet vs mcar/amg you wouldn't see it coming. That's why it would be kinda awesome if it was possible.

    I can imagine, bet it was a serious bit of kit.

    I'd very much doubt that M3 and M4 does 0-60 in 4 secs. Theres very few old scoobs that could even generate the traction to achieve that. Who was talking about "your old scoob" anyway the topic was starlets and the OP asked what if the car at the lights was an M3 so I said a starlet would stuggle to beat an x3 never mind an M3.... So whats your point?

    M4 is quicker to 60 than an M3

    Hahahaha the OP compared them to beemers thats why....that was his benchmark.

    It fine StuDoc72, all my threads are welcome to go in any direction the members care to take it in, i dont mind.

    Well a P1 does 0-60 in 4 and half seconds and that's a 'old scoob' out of the factory. Wouldn't be surprised with a forged build that would be much quicker.

    Well 5 seconds was the benchmark I set which is similar to an modern amg/m car, not brand new one of course.

    theres just no way you could get them 2 to work together the hight is to long the roadrunner will end up to low to connect to exhaust

    a adaptor plate cant be used because the turbo sits at an angle on the heavy wall japspeed kits it wont lign up on the exhaust the flange will be so close to gearbox edge and rotation will be off
