Any modification that can potentially alter the emissions of the vehicle from stock (which includes any intake and exhaust mods) is illegal UNTIL you can prove that it complies with regulations.

If you are worried about your car not being 100% legal, then it should stay 100% stock.

If you are worried about actually being DEFECTED for things, then choose mods that aren't glaringly obvious.

Also be aware that if your in an accident thats your fault due to speed etc, you claim the insurance company inspects the car and discovers a mod that is obvious they can refuse to pay.

Its best to do mods that aren't obvious.

What ever happened to the saying that your innocent until proven guilty? guess cops and law enforcment has gotten to lazy for that now!

Dont know what to do. Winter is here again; cold weather has my knees absolutely killing me with discomfort/pain.

I feel chronically fatigued without having a 'syndrome' as such; dont sleep more than a cple hrs a night, out of the house from 7.30am to 6pm weekdays trying to earn some $ to pay for the cost of living.

......... if I didnt have kids Id take the easy option out. but I cant, I love my 2 children too much to do that to them. f**k me, what a joke Ive (my life) become. If I was a druggy Id understand why I feel so shite day in day out.

anyone else out here suffering/dealing with depression due to uncontrolable circumstances? any tips for mood brighteners?

bah. lets all point and laugh at me. :sorcerer:

[Bl4cK32]

maybe u and i should go fer a group buy on a russian roulette gun tangles?

if I didnt have kids and the reponsibility to bring them up right and proper, Id take you up on that !!

still got my lucky bullet at home stashed away. hollow lead tip .22, would make a fair bit of mess. havent touched a rifle since the day I unloaded "my" bullet from the gun. laugh at me for being a soft cock thats all good, but Im glad I didnt commit suicide back in 2000/01 when at my lowest point.

I guess life can only get better. Weird, but sometimes even typing this shite onto the faceless-net can help you feel a little better about yourself.

Hows your back going black32?

[*flick*]

wow tangles.. u ever been to see anyone bout it? Im guessing u have..

I think most people have been through similar circumstances at sometime in their life.. maybe just not so bad..

Cant say i know what u going through, but i have a good idea.. I live with someone who suffers serious depression and has attempted suicide many times, more times than i can count, and ive been the one there many of the times helping them, taking them to hospital.. its not a very nice experience, but we live with it every day..

Cheer up things can and do get better

Tangles I don't know if you're being facetious above but if you are talking/thinking about suicide and the only thing preventing you is your kids then it sounds like you need some professional help. There are many different forms of medication that can act as mood enhances these days (not just anti-depressants) and therapy from either psychologists and/or psychiatrists. If you have seen them before and think they were useless then see different people (I can give you some contacts if you need them). If chronic pain is the cause of your despair then you can/need talk to people about pain management.

As for how to make yourself feel better there are two things that I feel are important: 1. Do something proactive about your pain (I take pilates classes 3 times a week to help me with chronic back & neck pain and more recently knee, hip & rib pain). 2. Be social. Go see family & friends. Make an effort to contact them if they don't contact you. Try make new friends - half of my social activities these days are with people I've met because of my GTRs.

Depression is too often diagnosed and treated these days for people that are just feeling a little down or low. But the reason for this is that some of these people are heading towards a major depression that often leads to self harm and doctors etc don't want these people to slip through the cracks.

thanks for the messages of support and the pms I received. wow, cheers lads and ladies. a little support now and then does make you feel a tad better.

I still to this day suggest that my eldest child was my lifesaver............... finding out we were expecting when the twin towers came crashing down made me decide to stay it out, to grin and bear it; there is no way Id want my children to grow up on this earth of ours without a father to help guide them thru life. I love my kids more than life itself, and I would never do anything to hurt them.

Yeah I see my GP monthly for a heart2heart checkup and guidence, and have seen a mentalhealth professional in the past. Take tablets for depression that also act as a sleeping agent, and in conjunction with the opiates they bring my base level pain threshold up a bit. Just that when in chronic pain 24/7 for year after year after year it gets to you. My problem can be that I try not to take the heavy painkiller drugs prescribed to me, but sometimes you just have to. Taken the strong tablet an hr ago and I must admit Im feeling a bit better now that the pain has subsided a bit.

damn you winter. I can hear the TopEnd calling my name

who's the drama queen - I am !! lol but still, better that then being a 'queen' hehehehe

[KISIN]

this is really weird you guys are talking about this...i met a man in his 40's 2day and out of nowhere began to talk...long story short, he has about 4 months max to live (cancer)...when i heard his story, i instantly 4got about my probs and realized anything can be fixed when ur live...

[*flick*]

Glad u feeling bit better

and what writeoff said.. that was the best reply anyone could have written!

[Tangles]

cheers. yeah Im awaiting my appointment with the pain management clinic at Flinders.

Q: has the pilates been beneficial for you writeoff?

shite, looks as if Ive come across the wrong way. my apologies. * looks away redfaced & embarresed *

Im not suicidal, been thru that before and came out the other end, and I dont let those sort of selfharm thoughts enter my head. its not an option, obviously. just that the cold weather really plays with my knees and it can naturally depress you a bit when trying to live with chronic pain.

nothing to see here
