How do you remove the tar stuff? It it the light brown stuff in the pictures? Aren't there chemicals that you could let it sit in for a while?

i imagine a decent heat gun and a putty knife would do the trick

geargrabber

air chisle, just be carefull of your angle of attack-- too steep and you'll punch through the 1/16" thick steel body. I've got a few breather holes now :p

LowNSlowNeon

Speed holes is what I'd like to call them...





*PS: Is my sig okay now?*

hondasuck

i have a few of them... it acts like a a/c now!

to remove sound deadening use dry ice and a putyi knife. the dry ice makes it brittle and you can bust it off.

Ya, dry ice works extremly well. I'd reccomend getting about 2 pounds or so if you have the whole area ready to work on. With some warm gloves, and a hammer, break the dry ice up into small chunks (size of ice cubes works well), and distribute them in a small area. With the putty knife or screwdriver, try to lift up large pannels of the tar once it has cooled down. Once you finish an area, move onto the next- just pick up the dry ice and move it to the next area. -having a trash can makes the job much easier. Also, the larger the tar piece is, the easier it is to clean up and the faster the work goes. Average weight savings for most cars is 10-25 pounds

Also don't forget to take the left over dry ice, and put it in a soda bottle with warm water and seal it up. Then throw it at a ricer

Dry ice bombs are freakin awsome.. attach a trailer hitch to the bottle and throw the contraption in a garbage can full of water. it'll blow the walls off the garbage can and shoot water everywhere (even 40 ft up). just make sure to compress the bottle so it has room to grow as you screw the cap on tight.

so how much does an average S4 tii really weight? cuz the faq says 2800 but in the door jamb of my car it says 3310 so im not sure which one to follow

geargrabber

the sticker on the door frame just reads gross axel wieght, not vehicle wieght. max front and rear axel loads, and gross load wieght.

my stipped out s4 wieghs 2500. (low gas and no driver)
