Cool Neutral Newbie May 31, 2002 Share May 31, 2002 Guyver.. If you want to do, we can do it at my Dad's condo from one Sat Morning. till evening. But must be after June 24.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Neutral Newbie May 31, 2002 Share May 31, 2002 My 2 cents.. For Toyota.. much of the sound is from the back.. i.e. rear Wheel Cage and Boot. What you need to do is sound proof the wheel Cage and Boot. The boot is ver hallow and when on the road it generates noises and transmit to the front. I raped my car 3 times until adviced by Mike and Team Motoring to figured this out..!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guyver 1st Gear June 1, 2002 Share June 1, 2002 What do u think about the $80 + $50 offer from Autobacs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Neutral Newbie June 1, 2002 Share June 1, 2002 Michel.. If you are not going to DIY.. I suggest you go to a ICE shop.. they are more experience on this.. maybe AutoS can suggest or help you. If you want to DIY... you can get floor pan insulation material elsewhere cheaper.. There is 1 umbrella shop behind Hock Hin, they sells stuff pretty cheap. my 2 cents....

Michel Neutral Newbie June 1, 2002 Share June 1, 2002 yeah...i was thinking of doing it at ICE shops. Autobacs people maybe ok with the tyre change, oil change etc...but probably not as good (no pun intended) in sound/thermal insulation as those guys from ICE shops. Thanks for the advise..

Cool Neutral Newbie June 1, 2002 Share June 1, 2002 What car are you driving ?? Maybe I can give you my 2 cents worth of tips. When comes to sound proofing and ICE, always remember this statement.. "Dampen outside noise from coming into the cabin and absorbed all vibes within the cabin". Something Mike said which I can never forget his theory...

Michel Neutral Newbie June 1, 2002 Share June 1, 2002 Mine's a '99 Mit Lancer..... 1. I tend to feel the vibration from the floor pan....esp. true when running on expressways... 2. Engine noise heard in the cabin when engine is 'overworking', probably due to the hot air intake, while hitting the accelerator between 1900rpm to 2500rpm. (PS, i don't rev high).....But, this only occurs in the afternoon...my engine is usually 'almost silent' in the morning when the accelerator is hit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Neutral Newbie June 1, 2002 Share June 1, 2002 Mine's a '99 Mit Lancer..... 1. I tend to feel the vibration from the floor pan....esp. true when running on expressways... Does your backseat passengers find it this way too ?? The lancer boot is rather hallow, could you coming from there. One test you can do it put about 6 pillows into your boot and see if you still feel it.. the purpose is to aborb the vibes and noise generating from the boot... if your boot sparetyre compartment has holes (that drain water), it could be due to that. 2.

($45 if you get from the shop I mentioned behind hock hin).. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Neutral Newbie June 1, 2002 Share June 1, 2002 (edited) Hi Cool...what should i do with the Aluminium foil and rubber insulation??!! $45 for sound proofing bonnet....inclusive of labour?! Does the 'umbrella' (does this mean it sells umbrellas?) shop open on Sunday? Edited June 1, 2002 by Michel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seven11 Neutral Newbie June 2, 2002 Share June 2, 2002 The 99 Lancer sucks in hot air, I think you cant do much abt this unless u willing to to drastic changes to do a CAI mod. Suggest do a whole body insulation... floorpan, doors and bonnet to lessen the decibels in the cabin. Modding the engine bay and insulating the air intake etc might give you better perf... but am sceptical it will make the engine softer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the 'umbrella' (does this mean it sells umbrellas?) shop open on Sunday? ----------------------- S$45 is just for the SoundGuard Bonnet material.. it is very easy to DIY. 1. Cut the piece to the shape of your bonnet. 2. Before peeling off the adhersive, apply "yellow cement glue" along the targeted area 3. Peel of the adhersive cover and paste it on the bonnet. 4. Use a penknife and cut it to shape. 5. Use a scissors to fine trim the edges. THe shop is behind hock hin where it is a carpark.. it has 2 huge umbrella with accessories.. cannot remember the name.

Cool Neutral Newbie June 2, 2002 Share June 2, 2002 The 99 Lancer is very easy to mod to CAI. But, the body is rather light and subject to vibration easily.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Neutral Newbie June 2, 2002 Share June 2, 2002 Michel.. Noise from the car can come from the front or rear.. For my Corolla G9, the rear boot is the one that transmit the wheel noise into the cabin. The simplest way to test this is to use pillows.. Clear your rear boot and stuff it with Pillows. If the noise dampens alot on the road, clearly you will know where the sound is coming from. From past experience.. Lancers and Corollas, much of the sound is from the rear wheels. For the hondas civivc 2001 models... the boot are rather solid. my 2 cents.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
