i'm still in the states ans was at nearly every place you named me in y thread. Decided to go with unibal all arround. But i'll go with FVD stuff. They've a discount at the Moment....
Finally getting the will to finish the "phase 1" out - so car is going into the shop in a week or so to get the rear cage welded in (yes welded, i'm committed!), safety equipment, lwfw/clutch, a few body bits, oil cooling, and a list of about 50 other things. Car will look mostly the same. Well except for a rear RS wing. Need my aero for the track. Going to get another set of hinges so I can keep it tail-less easily.
QUESTION: I'm going to be removing all the sound deadening and installing RS carpet kit. I have already taken the foam off the rear deck. I will be installing a thinner sound pad on the inside of the motor bay, and I have a thicker one from AppBiz for the inside rear deck.
I will put some sound material on the floors and tunnel. I don't really want to car too much road-noise loud. I know singer uses some jet materials...
Anyone have any suggestions for some light, easyish to work with sound deadening material to install on the floor-boards, and trans tunnel?
I removed all sound deadening material, but I have the better of the two appbiz engine pads. Heat is more of an issue than road noise. I find the level of noise to be very tolerable. No one in my car has ever complained actually.
just a warning re closed cell foam .. it doesn't do much by itself although one imagines it will
.. the OEM combo of open cell, Hi mass vinyl (hmv) and felt works as there is a variation in densities.
I would use 2 or 3 of the dynamat products (or similar) that in combo will help.
I just did the bitumen layer in my car which helped (and weighs much less than stock) then added closed cell foam - lots of work with glue etc.. - and it had minimal impact though it does help make the substrate for the carpet nice and smooth. Would have used some HMV and felt too if I'd known.
I like your car, good work!
