taken from my car thread page, i figure you guys would help out more!
SO- the car was previously stripped for track use, so it is light as a feather. as a result, on the street, the interior of the cabin sounds like an earthquake..
i am struggling to adapt this track racing wonder to be compatible with the mean streets of sydney!
i have found out the sources of the rattles.
the doors
the back seats
ive spent all day searching on line for how to fill the door cavity with some sort of filling, it rattles and feels so hollow when i drive that it would be perfect on a track, but not the streets.
can i just buy big squares of foam from jaycar and try to pack it in, or do i need to buy these sound deadening strips that stick to the panel? the latter seems like much more effort...
OR can i but self expanding foam, and spray until theres nothing left in the can? experiences anyone?
The door handle part that you rest your forearm on seems hollow, and is very very creaky. you can push it in and pull it out a little, its not solid at all.
