sound deadening ?

[mak]

Would sound deadening work, as in the dyno matt stuff, just wondering weather to whip out the interior and have a go, kinda wont to achieve a more modern dull thud noise as oppose to a squeek crackle and pop, it used to work well in old tin cars but not sure if it would make any difference in a fibre glass body, allthough after fitting my new throttle cable i was very suprised to find the bulky end just pulls stright through the wing from inside the footwell, i guess expanding foam my be needed 1st to fill in all the missing bodywork that tvr didnt bother to make cus it couldn't be seen

It hakes a huge difference! you would be amazed how much deadening the existing carpets provide on their own. I drove my car with a bare interior mid-re-trim and I nearly sh@t myself when I turned it over.. also thought it weas falling apart when driving it.

Putting a layer on the parcel shelf and rear panel under the carpet, plus under all the floor mats made a marked difference to my car.

Cheers
Matt.

First time I've seen a noise quietening thread on here. More usual to hear posters asking how to rip the gubbins out of their exhaust to make make the thing louder.

What a refreshing change!

If your going to do the side of the tunnel whatch the area under the dash as this gets very hot due to the manifolds the other side, need to make sure matting is fire proof / wont melt.

No worries... I qwould suggest buying the stuff with sticky backing - its much easier to keep in plce long term than using spray adhesive
