Remove your sound deadening!

I did this on my 180sx as i dont have a Type R anymore and so i wanted to see how much weight it could lose and to see what it would look like.. plus my Type R didnt have any lol
Aim:
To make your car lighter + looks better
Required:
Dry Ice (can used as little as 1kg but i was lazy and used 4kg)
1 Can of engine degreaser
Hammer
Chisel (I made sure my chisel wasnt too sharp, doesnt have to be)
Plenty of plastic bags (Optional)
Step 1: Place a small amount of ice into the plastic bags and spread around onto the sound deadening area
Step 2: Now wait it out until you start hearing the sound deadening cracking (it took forever when using the plastic bags so i decided to just use the dry ice without it lol)
I have a video of the sound deadening cracking if anyone hasnt heard it lol
Step 3: I waited until the sound deadening started to build frost over before getting into it (approx 15mins)
Step 4: Start ripping out pieces of the sound deadening (can do some pieces by hand) and if you're lucky.. big pieces will come off
Step 5: DONE! But still fairly grubby
Step 6: Once vacuumed, Start spraying the enginer degreaser over the trouble bits
Step 7: Start wiping with some towels, for some areas , they do require a another spray after the wipe... all depends on how fussy you are.. me.. not fussy at all lol
This is what it looks like after 1 spray and wipe
All done!! nice and smooth! much better result!
Only removed the rear part of the sound deadening and much eventually move onto the front sooner or later lol
But still managed to save roughly 6-7kgs from only the rear!
ENJOY! any feedback would be great
