Good day to get rid of some sound proofing!

[MrHanky]

Thought I would make the most of the cold weather and have a go at the sound proffing in the boot.  Took 30 minutes and 5 minutes of cleaning up.  Had a brief try in the summer and it looked to be a pain, but a mallet and scre driver and -5 degrees makes for a much easier and cleaner job.
 
Going to rip up the rest of the interior next weekend in preparation for doing the rest of the car

At least someone is making use of the tundra-esque conditions!

My brother did the rear and boot of his Skyline as well and ditched 4kg.

I errrrrm...did nowt today! Did enough yesterday though so not too fussed. Fair play though mate-takes some dedication to get every last little bit out.

Saving 4kg on a car that weighs 1.5 tonnes - that\'s <0.3%.  Hardly worth it unless it\'s a race car.

Every little helps and it will also look a lot cleaner in there once it is sprayed.

Easier to increase power by 0.3% though

Not really that cheap and easy for an EGI that already has aftermarket full exhaust etc
 
Anyway the 4kg was from my brothers car, I havent actually weighed mine yet.  Once all of it is out I reckon it will come to around 10kg.  Also I though the EGI was around 1300kg in weight?  
Anyway like I said, every little helps

True, it\'s the Skyline is about 1500kg.  10kg is prolly worthwhile - when I stripped my Alfa for racing I got 2 Tesco bags full of sound proofing/stiffening crud... weighed about 17kg!
