Well Me and HXvtec got bored so we decided to finish doing some weight reduction on his car. Last week we took out his back seats and all the panels, including the truck load of stuff he had in the trunk. Today we are attacking the Sound deading. So here are some pics of our progress so far. We will keep everyone updated.

Tools Needed. (Saftey goggles optional)

Half of the trunk. Thats alot for just the center!!

 

the dry ice concept seems a little neater, but whatever gets the job done

 

put the carpet back in, it doesn't weigh anything! How much did all that tar/rubber stuff weigh?

Enjoy the noise

 

I was just about to say that... You guys might want to try dry ice before you scrape the entire panels... OOPS too late

 

damn...it looks like you can even polish that trunk! haha

 

How long did it take you to do that??

 

Please tell me its already swapped.

my cx is gutted, nothing but 2 seats and a dash. it is not that loud. i mean you can hear road noises more but i mean it is nothing you can overcome. you can still have a normal conversation.

I just took out the back seats and all of the spare tire stuff and it was louder than ****. I drove it like that for close to a month and gave up on it. I will NEVER have a gutted car EVER agian.

 

mine has been gutted since i bought it a year and a half ago. it all depends on what you call loud i guess.

 

i took out my spare rear seats etc.. but left the carpet in mine last summer and it was fine....i guess my axle-back ricer muffler just makes everything sound louder!

We did not take the carpet out. That was just the trunk and under the back seat. There is no carpet. But we have not weighted it all yet. We are still taking some of it all out. Here are some updated pics.

Yes dry ice does work !BUT! it dosn't work to well on cars that have a whole lot of seam sealer like a newer civic my Si was a PITA because it has seam sealer EVERYWHERE heat gun and putty knife is the only way to take that **** off

thats what we are useing. We are almost done. So far it has been about a hour and a half. But we are taking our time.

 

It was only 8lbs of sound deading that was in the trunk. But after taking out the rest and everything else like the seats and everything that was in the trunk We hope to hit at least 100lbs of weight loss.

looks like a horse took a huge ****

 

Yea it dose. I kept telling him that it looked like his car took a ****

 

thast why im happy i got a VX, none of that tar stuff in the back just the frame metal. i think the vx was the lightest honda that they ever made? not sure if thast true....
keep the good work up

 

imo the 8 pounds wasn't worth the effort, the other stuff was, but not the sound deadening, your trunk looks FUBAR now.
but hey tahts just me
