sound dampner (?) how to take it out?
 

I did search but i found nothing. is there an easy way to take out the sound dampner on the floor of my 240sx? I'm using a pry bar but its HELL. If theres an easy way please let me know!

thanks!!!!

never mind, I just started smakin the bar with a hammer and it seemed to break off o.k

get a heat gun... or burn up your girlfriends hair dryer... a heat gun is lots faster... heat it up and scrape it off with a puddy knife... it aint easy to do but you can get 76 pounds off the car by takin that sh@# out...

What! 76 pounds! pictures please

here is a post wit a pic of what it looks like... this stuff is all over in your interior... heat guns and putty knives work wonders but it takes forever to get it out...http://www.club240.com/forums/showth...ening+material

OR you can just go buy a big chunk of dry ice and put that over the sound damper.....it will just break off....um...search for that.....weight reduction dry ice.... alot easier than the puttynice and heatgun

but the removal of all that stuff makes your car sound like ****....its going to sound like a POS....esp when ur on a date....that chick aint gonna like sitting in a car that she thinks is going to break down

haha homie thats why you get the girl first. then do that to your car. haha

Ya man, I've been with my girl for 4 1/2 yrs! I will take some pics when I go home next time. I only ripped out the hacth area.

I also put all the bits in to a box and put it on the scale. 6.8 pounds for just a small area! I bet there is 76 pounds of that crap in there!

any idea how many square feet of area that crap covers? i wonder how much an equivalent covering of dynamat would weigh.

im in the process of doing the same thing, and yeah, dry ice is the best way to go. i dont think there is gunna be 76 lbs, but i sure hope so

I'm sure theres somthing lighter out there that will still cut down the noise level. But I don't care to much about it. Will see if i feel the same way after drivin it for awhile:D

the 76 lbs includes the mat along the firewall... when i was saying sound deadening i mean all of it... there is also some of it in the rear quarter panels and the doors... the dry ice works for a lot of it... but you will have to use the heat gun method when removing it from the inside of the doors and along the firewall...

Thx guys i now have something else to take out of my car!!

lol, but seriously for 76 pounds that's like driving with a 10-14 year old brother/sister, and then throwing them out the window!!
