Sound Deading

wots the best way to remove it??got rid of some aftermarket stuff with petrol but how do you remove 20year old factory stuff?

[dawesy]

if you mean the ashphalt sheets on the floor i got all mine off with a wood chisle working from the edges. takes a good while though. finish off with a good scrub of panel wipe

[andy_twincams]

i feared that would be the only exept burning??

[dawesy]

use a heat gun on it to warm it up that help too

[andy_twincams]

so no one has an easy solution then?? ;)

[dawesy]

only took me a couple of hours to get rid of all of it on the rolla

apart from pay someone else to do it, no. only takes coulple of hours once you get going, well worth it though. that stuff is all over the floor and the weight is over 30kgs, which is big saving when you add to the fact no rear seats, carpets, ect ect

[Monster-Mat]

if you can get it....dry ice, pour it on leave a couple of mins, then beat the hell out the material, the ice will freeze it, and hopefully it will break up.....

How much weight do you hope to save by doing this? :bookworm:

on average, if you can get rid of all of the stuff , around 50kilo, should be easily attainable

Just from sound proofing? thats pretty good...

along with rear seats and carpets etc that must then be getting upto around 80-100 kgs!

sounds like an idea :D

[kingdeacon]

so many people dont relise how much difference it makes to cut the weight of your car down. make your car better in every way, speed, braking ect. thats why i never see the point in big Speakers and tv's ect

[andy_twincams]

hell i never thought of it too much just thought id remove it while its a Shell

how come you are going for 3sgte lump rather than tuned 4age?

simple aint no replacement for displacement.did tune it to 160bhp then thought if i turbo it etc means new pistons limited boost so might as well start with a bigger already turboed engine

[OriRacer]

If you are building a track car. yeh 5kg, 50kg matters but a everyday drive. Keep the stuff you want to be able to talk to the passager! that 16yr old bird sitting beside you has to here the magic words 'here doll! how's about it then! cause i'll put where ever you want sexy! ' (said in a VERY glasgow 'NED' way')
