why do you want it? I hope you dont intend to put it in your intake. its waste gas is CO2 which removes O2 from the air... ever see a flame in a glass vaccum with the oxygen removed? exactly. I aould see it being used to keep the IM cool between runs perhaps... maybe a box with holes on the bottom so the cold air could sink down... you can get it at any supermarket. at least we can get it here.

http://www.praxair.com sells it. Industrial gas/welding places tend to have it.

It works freaking wonders. I just dumped it on the tar paper. Waited a little while for it to freeze, hit it with a hammer and the tar breaks off in chunks. Perfectly clean metal underneath as well.

You can get dry ice at a local grocery store. You must be 18 to years of age (US) to purchase. I would use search, find removing tar - or weight reduction, someone just did an intense article about it, it was very cool...

I just did a search. I'm guessing you're talking about this write up:

It was much easier for me. Freeze it and hit it with a hammer and it just chunks away. You get no scrapes on the sheet metal and it all comes away clean. I'm just using a 16oz carpenters hammer.

it causes the metal to expand and contract (cooling it with dry ice, then letting it warm back up), allowing the dent to work itself out somewhat.

I got it at the drive-through liquor store (which is a brilliant idea itself). They sell it for keeping kegs cold.

NO NO NO... that puts you in SERIOUS risk of having the can explode...

there is stuff made for removing gum from carpets... it does the same thing only it's designed to.

it's called gumout... or freezespray... those are 2 kinds I know there are more.. you should be able to get them at a good hardware store or maybe an office supply store.

I put a bit on some dents in my Prelude. It made them go down noticeably. They aren't gone, though. Just put a bit on for about 45 seconds, take it off and let it warm up, repeat.

Best technique i've found for pulling dents/dings wtih dry ice is: take a small chunk of the ice (2"x4"x4"ish), wrap it in a soft cloth (paper towel'll work), then rub the ice filled cloth over the dent for a moment then let it warm back up, repeat this a few times and...voila! It takes some time and patience but it's cheap and effective.
