not yours then

 

Mine will never be fast with me driving it

 

lol

 

just hammer & chisel on the sound deadening clive? how long did that take ya!?

Trails, total weight of sound deadening inside is about 45lbs

 

If I had done it in one go I reckon about 8 hours. However it must be impossible to do it in one with the amount of times you hit your hand with the hammer rather than the chisel

Is there really 3 stone in the sound deadening??

 

Did this too my type r a little while back and yes shifted a fair bit of weight from it, got it all in a bag in the shed, keep meaning to weigh it, id say its around 10-15kg tho. Did mine over the space of about 4 days, recon i could have done it in a day but its quite a boreing job and quite messy, well worth doing tho.

 

Don't think so, Paul said 9kg. I will weigh it next time i'm working on it and confirm exactly though as I still have it all in a big bag Back at work now though so car will have to wait till the weekend now.

 

Think I'm going to make a start on mine now. You've inspired me Clive

 

Jon, seems that's a much higher figure than anyone else has given...can you tell me where it came from ?

 

Never

Now if your talking underseal from the underside aswell, maybe?

Mines stripped and caged, all the sound deadening was removed on the inside, Its easy to chip off when cold, then wipe the residue off with thinners.

 

has anyone got a running car with the sound deadening removed..?? How noisy is it with or without carpet ??

Good luck with the project

 

I really don't think you need to go to this extreme as you are going to keep an interior in yours?

 

Not too bad with a fully stripped car, I did Grimsby to Silverstone with no probs. You could even hold a conversation. LOL

 

How hard is it to find rubber grommets for the floor holes ! Eventually found some 40mm ones but 1.85 + vat each !

 

The metal ones are cheaper than that. I did have the part number but cant find it.

I just glued them in with some liquid metal

 

I could just clean up the ones I took out Daz but I have a liking for rubber

 

rs25.com. Guy who stripped deadening and stuff off his type-r weighed it in at around 45lbs i think

disclaimer: duno if that was just inside or not though

 

I went for the easy and cheap option some ally, aircraft grade of course some sealant and a few rivets - sorted

 

I like that, might have to do the same

 

Not a great deal done today as it was bloody cold outside and I had an electrical problem inside so had to get a mate round to fix that. However Paul finished cleaning up the floor, just the boot to do now and I just done a few bits under the bonnet; few pipes conected etc.

 

Watch ya self clive they would have been £142,60+vat at rcm lol

 

lol, only ever bought a couple of bits from RCM, their pricing is certainly not to my taste

 

You should have kept the steel ones that come off with the sound deadening so you could clean them up and stick them back in. Alternatively buy new steel ones and glue them in.

 

I have done Paul, think I may well pop them back in before painting. Silly to spend even £30 on rubber ones.

 

Was Paul on his tip toes doing all this work?

 

more to the point, what is he actually doing in the pic???

 

Its one to watch this, im plugged in.

 

You'll have upset him now Steve, 5'5" is not a disability

 

Wire drill bit gets rid of all the tiny little remains of deadening
