Frame Locks?

What is this stuff for? Does it really do what they say it does?

The question is.... Can you? I would think that's not in the rules since you need to create mounting points in order to attach those. If you plan on being sneaky about it.... well, more power to you, just don't get caught.

Did you guys get a chance to read the post on HondaTech by the guy who manufactures the locks. He says it reduces crumpling of the front end, he was mentioning something of air-bag delpoying at lower speed impact. I'm not sure whether he was defending against those point or whether he was mentioning them as a disclaimer.

Fatty wants to put them on and I'm thinkin he doesn't want to change autoX classes... I don't think they're legal where he's currently at.

Roy is an unknown quantity at this point
he mentioned them as a disclaimer because it severly hampers the collision properties of the vehicle. reinforcing the areas designed to crumple first. so with that the impact is dispursed throught the chassis therefore deploying the air bags.

Does the car crumple for our safety, or would it be better if the car doesn't crumple.

The car is designed to crumple to absorb the impact rather then Transferring that energy to the occupants of the car = Lower car survivability and Higher Occupant survivability.
e.g., Your more likely to destroy the car in an accendent, but then you are also more likely to not be injured by that accendend.
