that way wont work, if that works somethings not right. Test it by pulling on it when braking fast just go like 10mph, and put it in nuetral, then hit the brakes, and at the same time tug on the seat belt. If it lets you pull the seatbelt out further, its bad. Just tugging on it works on civics previous to 1990. I know this because I owned a 90 EF 4dr DX and it wouldnt catch from just tugging, you had to be decelerating rapidly for it to catch and lock.

Accidents suck dude,. glad you're okay!
ya they sure do, its my first one was hoping the day would never come but w.e time to pick of the pieces and keep on keeping on. but anyways back to the seat belt Id much rather have the racing style 4-point or 5-point harness to strap me down, I prefer those anyways my only concern is if i ever want to sell it most people prefer the normal comfort type.

Thats only gonna help if you get a proper racing seat. those cheapos on ebay, or any that go for less then 300 new, have a tendency to break, defeating their purpose completely.
really? like snap? im not too big i dont think i could create enough inertia to BREAK a seat belt lol like ebay or not. I was just gonna find one and bolt it on the floor seat mounts and the side or something idk still thinking it out

Ive been in a car accident with someone who luckily only changed the driver seat to a cheap ebay racing seat (and not both). going 40 in a 35, someone swerved around a person or something in the road, got in our lane, my buddy got the car slowed to about 15 , other car about the same, bam, my friends eating steering wheel and the top half of the seat is seperated. i was fine, stock seat, stock belts on the passenger side

BTW my buddy was like 135 pounds, 5'8" so he was a small guy.
Shit, Ive heard some people who put the cheapo ebay seats in place and snap them from having 300 torque udner the hood, floored it, then found themselves in the back seat. ebay is a big safety hazard for cheaping out. Im surprised no lawsuits have come up concerning them. If you do choose to get a racing seat, make it a name brand that has a solid history, like Bride or Recaro
