55LBS... Considering every 100LBS saves you 1/10th second at the track, it isn't even noticeable. Plus the weight is evenly distributed around the car.

 

toofastz i pm'ed u and havent heard back from u!! did u get it??

 

Great thread, can you please explain a bit more about the materials you used for sound deadening, and the procedure of installation?

I've been toying with the Idea for a while since I dropped the go fast plan, and this thread is a great encouragement.
Please excuse my ignorance but I have zero experience in this.

 

Like said before, great thread. You know I like these kind of projects. You can learn alot and get tons of new ideas. So far, looks like your going about the project with every detail in mind, I like that. May take some time, but in the end it turns out a winner.

Question for ya, how do you remove the door panels? I need to replace the speakers.

Definetly will be watching your progress. Good luck and keep the pics comming.

 

That's an easy fix, just add MORE POWER

If I didn't reply, send it again.
Check out post #52, I list and have pics of the materials used. I don't have time for a write up right now... I may be doing a write up for Camaro Performers Magazine so I'll let you know if that goes through...
The door panels come off easily. Remove the accessories bezel w/ two screws & unplug the buttons, the light removes by twisting 90° and the plastic lock slide pops off the steel rod. Then remove the 3 screws from the door panel. Lift up on the outside of the door first, then the inside and it will come unhooked. Here's a picture of the backside of the door panel and behind the bezel so you can get a visual:

 

I hate taking off the door panels off I know how everything comes off but its still a bitch getting the hooks up and out of the holes sometimes.

 

Thanks a bunch. Totally different than I expected. Gotta love this site. This section is the best. Thanks again.

 

Finally a sunny day I just finished shampooing the carpet and should finish installing the rest of the interior today...

 

Quite a project. Whats next on the list?

 

I'm working on the interior right now... Seats, gauges, shifter, cleaning, etc. Then suspension; lower it 1 to 1.5", stripes, possibly re-paint the hood and front bumper to get rid of rock chips, rims, calipers, tires.... the list goes on, lol

 

I got everything back together and took her for a ride. It did quiet down quite a bit and you can actually tell the difference in the video I took. Problem is, I can't get my computer to recognize the DVD-RAM disc so I can't upload it Anyone know what the problem might be?

 

You work too fast man i cant keep up with you. im about ready to fly you out here to work on my car, yours is looking awesome.

 

I'm happy to hear you liked the results. I look forward to seeing/hearing the video once it's worked out.

 

Looking good so far! Time for me to subscribe.

 

So do you think it was a big enough sound decrease to justify the time and cost?

BTW, You have a hard road ahead to make this one as nice as your former black car. I look forward to seeing the progress.

 

cant wait to see the vedio, will be a big project to me since i'll have to ship everything to the sand box.

 

Looking great man.. You do some really nice work and pay alot of attention to the small details .. Cant wait to see it done.

 

It's a big enough sound decrease to justify the cost but I'm not so sure to the time. It took me about 3 full days...

 

how much did it cost for all the supplies to do it? i know dynomat is really expensive but how much was the stuff you used and how much did you use?
