Remove your sound deadening!

Disclaimer: The following is provided as a GUIDE ONLY, and neither myself nor Ozhonda take any responsibility for the outcomes of someone else doing the following. You follow these steps at your own risk!

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

hey man wana pm me how much the dry ice was and where you could get it thanks? no need to wear gloves? etc

[lsvtec]

hey can u tell me where u got the dry ice for because i want to do the same to my EG.

[RR-04-RR]

Not really a secret.. i got my dry ice from BOC gases, charged me $7.50 a kg

The guy that served me was awesome.. gave me a couple of kgs for free lol but 4kgs is more than plenty if you dont use plastic bags and are fairly quick

[lsvtec]

where is BOC gases located at?

[RR-04-RR]

Depending on where you live.. i know there are 2 places that stock dry ice.. kings park and wetherill park

if those 2 places are too far.. then google up[ and give them a call and see if they stock it

lol yeah

With dry ice.. i used a kind of used a blunt chisel considering you dont need to strain yourself to get the sound deadening off.. it pretty muchs falls off

nah i didnt wear gloves :P, the spoon in the pic is what i used the whole time.. you can touch dry ice.. as long as you dont hold it
