2: Leave the dry ice on the sound deading untill you can hear the sound deadening crack

3.Hit the rubber mallet against the bottom of the chasis, the sound deadening should come straight off the body, if it is being stubborn use a flat head screwdriver/chisel to remove it.

4. In last two photos most of the sound deadening is out, but there are still some small stubborn pieces.Pour kerosene on the area make sure the car is in a ventilated area and leave for a good one to three hours.

5. After this, sound deadening should be soft, use rag to wipe the remaining pieces.

Once dry ice has been used on a certain bits of sound deadening, put it back in its container so that it can be reused on other sections, this way u would only need about 3kgs :D

ill be doing this on the weekend.

questions:

1. how much did the dry ice cost you
2. does it come in a special container??

[tripleuse]

umm like $10 a kg i think.., nah it just comes in a foam container and u have to pre-order like 24-48 hrs.
good luck!

[EgFanatic]

how many kgs did you shave off the car by doing this lol?
good write up :D

[tripleuse]

i forgot how much it weighed :S sorry

[grifty]

BOC stock dry ice, no need for pre-order waiting preiod. its about $8-10 a Kg and when you buy it bring a esky with you.

Not all BOC stores have dry ice so call before you go.

sound deadner usually weighs 10-15kg all up.

[ouch]

whats BOC? does anyone know where else i could get some dry ice? CHEEEEEEEEERS

good write up, will be doing this to my eg soon. hope it goes wel :D

[tripleuse]

good luck, tip before u do it.. just try with a flat head and a hammer first before going out and buying dry ice.

[na-118]

do it first thing in the morning when the cars cold,, will be easier removing it rather then coming home for a long drive and doing it i did mine with flat blade and hammer,,, no need for dry ice,, dont know your circumstances though otherwise very good write up for the newcomers to this scene

This is an epic fail
Dry ice did shit all in the eg
Spent an hour or more chiseling away at only a 1/4 of the front car
Not worth the effort to save 10kgs in my opinion
Not going any further with it

It is easy, you cant use ice from the freezer.

yeah happened to me aswell the front bits of soundeading the ones closest to the dash board were harder to get off then other parts of the car, some bits are harder then others but it will come off, took me about 3-4 hrs to get everything off including using kero to get the stubborn bits, keep at it!

I used about 15kg on my eg and everything bar the spare wheel well came off easy. Laid a nice layer down, let it sit for about 25min then moved the dry ice to the next section, let it sit & while I was waiting everything pretty much came off by hand

what were u hitting??? and what tools were u using?

[moogle]

8kg of dry ice is more than sufficient, all u need to do is put the ice in a bag so that u can move it around to reuse instead of smashing it to bits and get vertical orientated deadening on the wall. I did my ED and EG with just $25 worth of dry ice, and came off clean, just need to leave it on for a while longer for the stubbon piece.
