Ok, the EK9 is owned by my good mate Dai, its running a B18 engine on stock internals/management..etc, mods are Rota slipstream's (standard EK9 wheels in Takata green for track use), Skunk2 exhaust system, 4-2-1 manifold (possibly a DC sports but not sure), Spoon carbon fibre spoiler, D2 control arms, coilovers, CAI...etc Im not sure what scott's civic jordan is running alltogether, i know it has the standard B16 lump and a few other mods, intake, exhaust..etc but not sure on the makes. The wheels are genuine Volk's.

Coming on like a storm now James matey! Looks bloody lovely. your doing a top notch job of it fair play, BUT you still havent put the sparco's in yet........10 points off the score board for that LOL. Only joking. Ooo that radiator is quite nice fair play.........you dont have to nick my one now haha Will give you a ring later mate.

Ah thats awesome cheers mate, put my mind at ease a bit for sure.

Thats why i will always buy from ToyTuning. Trust Toby with my life and money haha Never bought from anywhere else, im sure it was just a mistake mate, give them a call or somthing?

Cheers Idrees. Will give Dave a shout about the RS*R. Will give the rear arb some thought as it will be a track/road/hill climb weapon hopefully. Its just im not sure exactly how this rarb is adjusted and im worrying it might develop some "play" im not sure though.

Just wondering where i can get either a Cusco or RS*R panhard rod from? Not interested in the whiteline one. I know toytuning have them listed as POA, anyone know how much they are for the EP82 as im trying to buy one. Ive never even seen a fuggin cusco one they must be rare as rocking horse sh*t. Also wondering which is better to go for whiteline fixed rear arb or adjustable. In my opinion i would have said there would be more chance of "play" in the adjustable one in the future after beeing fitted for ages, or am i wrong? Are they both very solid? Im also looking at set of Cusco Zero-2R coilovers (im sure you all know where ive spotted them forsale ), im considering buying them but im wary about spending £500 on a set of coilovers ive not heard much about, not interested in D2's or BC's or anything, will only be going for either Cusco's, Buddyclub's or possibly Zep's if some come up. But are the Zero-2R's any good? Quality? Adjustability?..etc Cheers, Rhys.

Just want to say thanks to all for their advice and cheers paul mate for helping me out and putting my mind straight. For now, things are working out. Me and the girl in question are dealing with the problems more like adults now than silly little children because i think we both understand and realise we were being f*cking stupid about a fair few things. Alot has been said and got alot of our chests and now know what annoys eachother and we are going to see if it can work out. As for the family problems. I doubt they will ever be solved as its been that way even since before i was born. Their too big for me to solve and sort. So for now, im going to stick around, but im going to the hospital soon and will be having regular checks and talks with the doctor about my depression and stuff to hopefully stop me wanting to top myself again, as the urge to do it last time was almost too much to stop. Once again thanks all for your advice. Legends. Rhys.

Im pissed off with a certain person on here who got the situation wrong a long time ago and STILL belives somthing thats isnt true and still wont speak to me. Im also pissed off with the fact i have run out of money to build my GT....for now.

And just to add im not after sympathy because i hate sympathy. All im after is for somone to possibly tell me the best way to come to terms with what it is i may decide to do, what the steps i need to take are before i do it, or if i should even do it at all any way?

Ok well if your in a good mood look away, dont want to ruin anyone's day/evening. Just wondering if somone can give me some advice and help, i seem to remember Glanza-Love helping me out alot before when i had some shit going on in my life and really did give me some sound advice, so im guessing as this is like an extended family or whatever you lot may know somthing about this sort of sh*t im facing right here. Writing this at like 4:30am ive had some to drink so sorry if its little vague. Ok it had to happen somtime, ive broken up with my girlfriend and shes left me, ive been with her for well over a year and a few months now, and its the toughest thing ive EVER faced in my entire life. Ive lost the person i loved the most in the world, cared about the most and needed most of all by my side while my family are absolutely falling to peices from illnesses, death and unlucky things happening to us all as a family. Im not a person with many friends and i understand why (im a difficult b*stard to get on with and an arrogant pr*ck at times too) so my friends, well, i could count on one hand if that. My girlfriend was not only my partner but my best friend as well, comined, and now shes gone im so f*cking lost that to be honest i just give up. Now dont get me wrong ive had 2 other previous semi-serious relationships, none with even clost to this much love involved or for this length of time and integrity though and both times the girl cheated, i managed to deal with those break ups very well and move on. BUT this time around i dont think i can, due to the circumstances, lack of good hard reason for the break up, sheer amount of people involved as our familes are becoming friends and communicate, my life and hers are now intertwined and joined and ive spent almost every day of my life with her, shared everything with her and seen and done alot together, things that ill remember for ever. Over the last few weeks shes been seeing her mates alot more, started with spending time with her friends away from me for 2 days a week, then it went to 3, then it went to 4 and then 5 days and this last 2 weeks, ive got to see her for like 1 full day a week and thats it. And now finally today out of the blue she has decided to end the relationship with me as she sais we argue and row way too much to continue.....maybe we do row but not all the time and every couple rows but it seems to affect her inside alot more seriously than it would somone else. I blame myself, not her for these rows and issues. Any way, shes decided she wants to be alone and doesnt want me to be her "other half" any more and thats final, no going back, no nothing, no more about it, but she sais she is happy to be friends. Great, friends, no it would torture me every day. So, me having family problems, being excluded from college (because im a knob pretty much)...blah blah blah. have now 90% decided im going to take my own life, wether its a good idea or a selfish one i dont really care 2 flying f*cks because i cannot deal with the pain and sheer confusion and loss of all hope and combined with the weight of my friends problems, my families pain and illnesses but most of all now the break up with the person i love most of all on this stupid planet. I just physically and mentally give up. The system has beat me and i have lost the will to continue to bother or try. I dont care about the future or what i may miss any more, neither do i really care about the fact im giving in as a coward. I just seriously, need to go, permanently. As they say, when your best isnt good enough, theres nothing more you can do. I have done my level best, ive tried and tried with things in my life and failed almost every time, ive had dreams shattered and sat and watched dreams of family members be shatterd on a daily basis and had to pick up the peices, no more, i just cannot do it. Sorry guys, but i was just wondering what i should do. Talking to the councillors wont work because i dont like it and dont want to, talking to family wont help as they dont understand and have enough to deal with right now. And as ive said, friends? Well HA never mind! (sorry if you do read this, but you know why i said that, dont you?) So any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. But as ive said im 90% certain ill be carrying through with it soon and taking what little life i have left in me away. Simple as that.

Just wondering if anyone knows of a good one to use thats quick and easy. Not fussed on the online ones though. Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers, Rhys.

Mate you the guy that flashed your lights too me in cwmbran a few weeks ago?? Rhys

Cheers all for the advice. Some sound advice there..........people are saying their slow, i remember going in the 1.8 N/A AWD, that didnt seem slow at all!! Would drop a red top STi engine in it eventually i would have thought. But seriously. starlet has to go as i need somthing to drive around in which is decent while i buy a GT shell and build it up. So my GT will have to be part exchange. Im 19 with almost 2 years ncb........seem to be able to insure things for really cheap lately, i have no idea how, i put in a quote for a 1.6 16v CRX VT, came back at £990, thats seriously epic considering it was almost £3000 when i was 17. I also unfortunatley have an SP30 and 3 speeding points (NEVER EVER run late to pick your girlfriend up when shes standing outside in the rain, not ever) Any suggestions what i could go for.? And if its not somthing from japan then i wont give up my GT for it, as its heart wrenching enough.

Ok ive got my Gt up for sale on pistonheads, with it as it is but will have a few of the uprated parts removed so that i can fit them to the shell i will be buying. A local lads just offered me a px (possibly cash my way) with his 2.0 Impreza sport AWD, WRX kit, prodrive exhaust system, fully adjustable coilovers, adjustable top mounts, strut brace, kaylan mudflaps, full dealer service history on 99k, loads of new bits replaced on last service in february of this year. Shes a dark blue colour with 17's (which will be coming off). Its a '97 and looks very very clean to be honest. Only thing is he wants my GT with the Rays wheels. Opinions?

James you should have just phoned me in the first place lol no good phoning half way through the job haha. See you later mate!

Nooo lew....... Im 99% tempted with a Colt Mivec beeeasst. Can get Karl to knock me up one of those exhausts then haha.

Lmao as much as it would be easier..........GT..........the way forward (fast lol)

Nahh dont like glanza's mate, plus my carbon bits would be useless then. Glanza = micra. sorry.

Ive been thinking lately about what i want to do with the GT, i want ideally to go forged 5E and go nuts with a turbo..etc. And while im thinking more and more about doing it, im thinking well, hang on i would be ok buying a rolling shell and just going nuts and building up from a rolling shell thats got a blown engine or even no engine at all maybe to do this though ill need a car to drive around in for the time being, so im thinking of putting my GT back to pretty much standard, keeping all the uprated bits i have for the other GT ill be buying and swapping my GT for either a Corolla hatchback, Colt 1.6, or maybe another 106 rallye (ill be on my 3rd then). or possibly selling it and buying one of the 3? Im getting tired of having to do things within a day so that i can keep driving around. Its really winding me up to the max as i cant get anything done to it at all, when i fit the livesports kit ill have to have it off the road for ages, this then means.....no college. Not good. Ill be needing standard exhaust, standard rad and some alloys. Possibly a CD player or somthing. So if anyone has them please let me know, Cheers.

Seen this as well mate, very clean looking Mk1, ive left a note under the windscreen wiper, probably long gone now! I have yet to see it move, and never seen anyone driving it F*cking ghost car or what.....very odd.

Thanks very much Glanza-Love......your a legend mate. And cheers Galliano mate. I will say again, thanks for your advice, sound good advice from reliable people......as always, good'ol UKSC!

LOL yeah Lew i did fall on my face........then dropped ma trousers a bit and gave everyone a mooney for laughin at me lmfao I enjoyed it all but......after i was so worried about my car words cant explain. Its my pride and joy. Soon as the wether is better *snowing again today dammit* i will be taking it for a full underside steam clean, rust treat and clear waxoyl......then i will be painting the whole of the underside in either silver or bright white hammerite! This will make it look really clean and show off all the whiteline/RS*R handling bits i will be fitting No more sideways fun for me. Will be getting another car for college/work/messing about soon as i get some money, THEN i will be sideways all the time in the snow haha. Thanks all for your advice, help and recommendations.

This is the one where you cane it past me..... Oh and....err.....who beat you in the PROPER race, in LOW boost haha dear me.

I get very concerned about my GT, was out most of last night driving around and the roads were more than bad, worse ive ever seen, litterally everywhere was ice, which caught us by surprise. I got stuck so many times i lost count, and had to give it some beans to get out.......seems as though my driveshafts are whirring like mad now, steering doesnt seem right at all.......and just in gernal i swear ive f*cked my whole car up from it. Or am i just being paranoid. What sort of damage does it do as obviously the revs come right up all the time when the wheels loose traction. So i was putting it into second and now my gearbox crunches. Basically, driving around last night, ive pretty much ragged the sh*t out my GT so it seems. And i feel so uneasy now today because of it. Am i worrying for nothing?

Aii aii brag your way to the top son!! LMFAO only joking, its good to know loads of people mate, your lucky.
