Message: <blockquote data-quote="shiroitenshi" data-source="post: 1992960" data-attributes="member: 27518">So far scraped off about 60% of ONE PIECE of tar off the rear bonnet area.. slow because I'm no longer on holiday and I'm doing bit by bit.Got pics, but can't upload because my bluetooth is a bit wonky.. gonna try fix it tommorow.The weight so far accumulated is about 510g which is quite a bit, considering if you were to see the picture of the plastic bag, it just seems like a bit of stuff... very little amount makes up that 500g of weight. (I'll try post it ASAP)which means probably for everything is only about 10-15 kgs for removal off all the soundproofing and perhaps you can gain more weight savings by removing the plastic bits as well on an EG, depending on the plastic bits.Since my one is an SR4, the covering is the original furry carpet.. no plastic bits..the carpets are about 1.8 kgs for all including the misc clips, so not much savings there.Be warned though.. just removing a piece off the rear end increases the noise factor a lot... the rear spare tire areal sound like I'm knocking on the body of a rentung car.. an open tin of milo kind of sound. I'm waiting till I get around to removing all.. then NVH can throw out the window.. of course, it's only temporary until I get around to spraying that area and applying new el cheapo 'brown bread' type of sound proofing.The floor area I did last time didn't increase the noise factor very much.., but I didn't remove it properly either but the rear end is another story. I'm gonna do it slow and steady this time..Well.. so far the diet program doesn't result in significant savings, but what did you expect? Those marginal savings will add up once you tally all the numbers together. Of course.. SR4.. I don't expect it to weigh less than a hatch, but lightening is a free mod after all.. just need time and LOTS of patience.If I'm up to it, I do feel like removing the caulking and reapplying them properly.. as expected of an MDM civic.. the handiwork of the caulking is HORRIBLE!! (>. They're applied shoddily and thickly... considering the fact that they're just there to prevent water seepage. (>. Damn.. just woke up and still feel sleepy.. back to sleep then...</blockquote>
