I need to know if the PasswordJDM floor plates can only fit if the sound deadening tar is removed or can I just install them over the tar. Pictures would also help. Thankx

well im not flamming you or gonna be a dick, but the title says race proven, there for race cars dont have sound deadening tar anymore, so i'd say taek the **** out, but yes you can install one with it in but i wouldnt recomend it. good luck

and why would the sound deadening tar hinder the overall performance of the floor plate smart guy. And to reassure you, I know what the title says ( I WROTE IT). Pictures would help. IDIOT

I think he may have been implying that race cars are typically stripped of all weight that is not essential to the cars operation, including sound deadening tar. It can be assumed that this item is meant to be installed with the tar removed...like the race cars it was "proven" in.

Sometimes people on here are so quick to make themselves sound like they hold all the knowledge; to make themselves sound smarter than everyone else. Thankx for the imput.

Is that made of rubber? If so who cares if the "tar" is in there? Just make one! Looks easy!

Looks like anodized aluminum. I think he was asking about the sound deadening because this item bolts to the floor and I think the tar will make it sit uneven. I would think anyone would prefer to have it sit as flush with the floor as possible since your feet are moving around so much down there, wouldn't want your heel getting caught on an edge every time your shift.

and why do people remove the sound deadening???zzz

Umm read KP's original post he already stated why people remove it.

weight reduction

I guess but we're talking about Tenths of a second are we not? Most people dont bother in a Daily right?

rick_rabies

cuz it makes your open downpipe sound even better....lol

rick_rabies

i do....seats. panels. carpet, console. dash. heater. etc...it adds up. and some like the rediculous heat and noise driving on 15lbs of boost

blackGSRcoupe94

thank you, i just said i wasnt being a dick haha

kp

Not even tenths. Maybe hundredths of a second.

what is it supposed to do?

B16AGUY

Exactly... TO some people it's important to shed ALL extra weight...if so, then hey...your car, your perogative.

But I pers. don't see the point in a DD and even in track applications it seems like the end doesn't justify the means. (in my opinion only, that is)

I guess it all boils down to personnal pref.

edit: obviously I am just talking about removing the tar here...I can understand the benefits of removing the seats, door panels, AC components, and crusie etc.

It reduces the weight of the car. Less weight = less effort on the engine = better acceleration etc and lower track times depending on how much weight has been taken out.

Nothing really.

no lol im talking about the floor plate[/QUOTE]

Ha ha ha sorry... I have no clue what it does other look cool maybe?

kp

Pretty much. I'm thinking maybe it's purpose is to make the floor level for your feet. Without carpet/sound deadening the floor is pretty wavy. But it's also blingy.

CivicSpoon

I think it props your feet up higher, and gives you a flat even place to put your feet, as opposed to the uneven dips & bumps of the stock floor. Also for the "bling" factor, that apparently some people want. Seems like a waste of money to me, especially for $150.
