[QUOTE="Lee36328, post: 114178, member: 113"] Redd, I have read your postings in italiauto, and in autoworld. Was not going to comment until you said you made your postings here and have not been crucified. Rather than spoil your record, and imply silence is consent/agreement, my opinions and comments below. If twinsparx has a point to make, let him make it here. If he has evidence, let him show it. So far, it has been on a basis of : "Trust me, I'm an engineer, I make a living crashing cars, and I've got tons of evidence, just can't share it with you because it's manufacturer's secrets. Take my word for it, stay away from foaming." Unlike the other postings, we are (hopefully) all logical and mature people here. So, let's hope the discussion will be kept logical and non-personal; none of the name-calling in the other forums please. I am intellectually and genuinely curious what twinsparx has found out in his research, and what evidence he has for backing it up. [And no, stuntmen w bats don't count. :) ] I'm ok w his explanation, up to and including saying that foaming will alter the crash dynamics in unpredictable ways. Agreed. That sounds logical so far. To make the leap from there to : foaming is dangerous, do at your own peril; seems like a generalisation to me, unless there is evidence that foaming, specifically the sort done by Autofoam, is proven dangerous. Why Autofoam? Why was Twinsparx's views linked to it? Unless his study includes how Autofoam is done by KLAuto, and concludes the KLAuto foaming techniques are wrong/defective, I find these insinuations that Autofoaming by KLAuto is improperly done and therefore dangerous, as opposed to foaming done by the manufacturer, libellously unsubstantiated. Granted, I also do not have evidence that the foaming done by KLAuto is NOT defective and NOT dangerous, so I reframe from making any claims, positive or negative. Like you said, buyer beware. I have, however, taken many corners before and after foaming, and can testify to its benefits in that context. Whew! Did not mean to ramble for so long! B) [/QUOTE]
