Has anyone done so? I did my trunk and underneath backseat without it
and it took like 2 1/2 hours with alotta scraping n chizzeling..
Is there anything else (cheap) besides dry ice that would help the process?
Cant find dry ice here... Tried Markets,ABC store and nada nair nada had it.
my cars a EH9 all 3940lbs of it.. needs to be much lighter

 

most of mine came out rather easily and i didnt use any dry ice. I got the car as a previous TL so im not sure of the conditions it was in before i got it. but most of it just came out in chunks. Especially in the hatch area.

I know it doesnt help, just saying is all.

 

Hey any info is much needed man..I've got to do the floorboard infront of backseat
and the floorboard in the front and im also thinking about removing the insulation thats under the dash..would this be okay? would it cause carpet to sag?
need ideas on weight reduction guys..

 

i didnt do anything under the dash, just the floor all round and hatch area. U can feel the waves in the floor now with it removed. and drinks dont sit too well on it lol. Its a lil louding in the cabin, but not enuff for me to care.

 

You could try using a freeze spray like "freeze off" or if you hold a can of "dust off" upside down it will spray out WICKED COLD liquid which would probobly brittle it up pretty well... it'll take a lot of cans though and probobly not be the best thing for your brain unless you're pretty well ventilated... but it should work.

You can also try to get acetone and use the chisel/scraper to get the acetone underneith the insulation it will come up much easier than w/o...

The acetone worked wonders for me in removing some of the aftermarket sound deadening I put on in spots that I had to pull up and re-do.

 

Do you know what I'm talking about its the insulation at the footrest area right below the dash.. and as far as loud goes... thats how i like em.
Louder they are. The less bitchin you gonna hear from ya girl..
Lower they are. The more you get to see her tittays bounce.

Lmao tru enuff man!

 

hahahahhaha

 

im just bored and lookin through here... but how do u use dry ice to remove the sound deadening? ive never heard of this... and how much weight are we talkin here?

 

Look in the faq section theres a write up, it takes a lot of ice to do but the dry ice makes it happen a lot faster. I did this on my old car (corolla) with no ice, just use carpenters nail puller wedge type dealie and just start ripping it off from the corners, were ever you get stuck just use a chisel and a hammer, wipe of all the reside with brake parts cleaner.

 

....?

20lbs max, imo not worth the time or noise increase

25lbs on a 93 ex, you have to remove it if you are doing ANY type of racing, no excuses

just grab a hammer and a puty knife thats how i did it, took me 30 mins max.......plus its a good work out

 

what about in a del sol? ive removed the lame carpeting in the back but im not sure if theres sound deadening material... how much weight can i remove? and what about removing the firewall? ive had friends that did that too...

 

Wait, removing the firewall? Please tell me you are talking about your firewall insulation.. You kinda need your firewall...

 

haha sorry yeah thats what i meant, i didnt know the proper terminology, thanks for the correction, but hey who needs a heater if you take ur firewall out? haha

 

i wouldnt remove that black pad but there is deadning material behind it

 

Maybe it's just me, but removing the sound deadening material doesn't seem worth it. The general rule is that for every 100 pounds removed, it's 1/10th of a second (in 1/4 mile racing)...someone put that it all the sound deadening material weighs 25 pounds.

My question is, is it worth it to spend all that time removing that **** if you're not even going to cut off 1/10th of a second?

its not true, yes it is worth it, otherwise you wont see track time........................you cant tell officals that removing sound deadning material isnt worth it, a roll cage isnt worth it, and a fire suppresion system isnt worth it.......they simply WILL not let you race........................its not worth it



hey maybe ill see you on the track one day.........withut a roll cage, with flammable equipment in the car, and a stock motor becuase adding horsepower to a civic isnt worth it!

i see you in 2 years financing a car you can't buy sitting in GDD talking **** on honda civics becuase you simply don't know..........

you listed a myth, same as back pressure....ok if back pressure is a true myth than an o loop exhuast is the best part money can buy....................

nitrous doesnt burn piston rings........................ there is a replacment for displacment a fing turbo,

thats not really a replacement, you cant turbo a big displacement motor too.

 

maybe just try regular ice

 

i did not use dry ice....it took a little longer.

 

What are you talking about?

You most certainly do NOT HAVE to remove your interior much less your factory sound deadening in order to get track time...

Dude, just stop typing. Seriously, the majority of what you said makes no sense to me whatsoever.

I don't autocross my car, but I would believe NonovUrbizniz over civic.slow mainly because he has some form of vocabulary and grammar.
