how much weight can i loose from taking out the sound dedoning from a 99 civic coupe? my friend said its 100 pounds

 

Taking out all your side panels, your carpeting, and all the other crap along with your sound deadening would most likely remove just under 100 lbs.

 

maybe 20 lbs max.

 

sport compact car took out all the sound deadening tar from the inside of the car, on a 2000 SI they weighed it after.... 80Lbs

 

probly worth the pain in the *** removal though....

 

wouldnt be a fun process, but you could get bout 20-30 lbs with just the under-carpet removal....not sure what you would get with the rest...good luck

 

I used an air hammer with the chisel blade and got out 30lbs just out of the front of the car in under an hour. I never weighed the rest of it cause i did by hand before i got the air chisel.

 

On my '96 CX I took out all of the tar from the interior, except for maybe some up underneath the dash, and it was 17 lbs...2 buckets full. It was a pain in the *** to take out and made the car a little noisier....hehe

 

when i did it i didnt want to scratch the primer under the tar(ok i was alittle too ****) so i used a heat gun and a sqeegie.....it worked perfectly no scratches...but it took alittle while, dont try to do it on a cold day though, it makes it 30 times harder

and get some solvent and a brillo pad sponge and clean off all the left overs, that takes a bit too....and dont drive your car for a bit after the solvent, because its pretty strong, i made the mistake of driving after, had to pull over and roll down the windows for an hour, i was getting dizzy
