Obviously you aren't going to find the help you want here, try hondatech We are not crash engineers, try asking on a site where they deal with this stuff. I wouldn't take advice from random people on the net on how to make my car take a crash better.

This thread sucks

I obviously gave this site more credit than it deserved. Though it did teach me something, when an arrogant "know-it-all" comes across something they do not understand, instead of humbling themselves, they show their true colors, that they're really just stupid arrogant fucks who can't be trusted.

heres something you need to learn in life. for any situation.

it's not what you say, but how you say it.

kid, you're still playing your "know-it-all" role. Just GTFO

With this we are not being dicks, we are telling you the truth. Most of us don't know anything about adding stuff to cars to make it safer for the street. Without proper research you will probably get hurt worse. We are telling you there isn't much you can do. Go to the library, buy some books, or talk to experts in the field. With safety I don't fuck around so I wouldn't do anything without talking to some experts.

Many of us did try to politely explain these things to you. You kept ignoring the answers and saying "well I just don't see why it's that hard and why it can't be done cheaply." Your stubbornness contributed greatly to all of this.

You've been arrogant in a way as well. Rather than listening to anything that we said, you just kept saying "well I don't believe that, I think there's an easy way to do it." You didn't put any stock in what we were saying from the very get go, you just assumed we were wrong. Tell me why we're supposed to respect you when you didn't respect us from the very start?

You've also continuously ignored a very valid point that I and others have been making from the very beginning. What you're doing is trying to realize an ideal. Ideals are nice to have, but by their very definition they're usually something that you won't actually achieve. Instead, you make some compromises in order to get as close to your ideal as possible.

Your ideal car is a 95 Civic chassis (because you like the looks), with a 50 mpg engine (because you like the mileage), that's as safe or safer than the newer 01-05 Civic chassis (because safety is important to you), and you want all of this for fairly cheap (who wouldn't?). That's your ideal. It's a nice ideal, but will you realize it? Probably not. So it's time to be realistic about it and decide where you can compromise...

Well said

You seem to be confused, "know-it-all" isn't the same as mature. I'm more mature but not necessarily more knowledgeable than the two arrogant fucks I've been flamed by. These two are "know-it-alls", I on the otherhand are obviously NOT a "know-it-all" because if I was, why the hell would I ever have a thread with a question in the title? A 'know-it-all" is just that, know-it-all, there is no hidden meaning, it's pretty obvious. They're know-it-alls because they feel they have the answer, and the answer is that I'm an idiot and I should basically "humble myself" yet they're classic cases of people who offer others humble pie yet refuse to have any themselves.

Blanco just proved a point for me.

Dude, your parents should have raised you better, you're an arrogant little bitch who has no idea what he's talking about

BrutalB83

I don't consider myself a know-it-all, not by any means. If anything I say here is wrong than I certainly hope that someone will point it out to me and set me straight. That's one of the ways you learn, by listening to what experienced people are telling you, and then following that up with research.

And just to be perfectly fair, I politely told you several times that what you're asking really isn't what we deal with on this site. I told you that you're asking questions of a structural nature which really should be directed towards an automotive engineer rather than performance enthusiasts. It was only when you ignored the polite and patient responses and kept insisting that it could easily be done did the flaming begin...

There has been enough. I locked the other thread too. There isn't much more to be said than there already has.
