Get a woman down there with ya!




Oh, you mean insulation......

A big hammer and chisel, petrol softens it up but it may pay to have a big extinguisher near-by

Heat gun and scraper is what I used inside the car, some people use dry ice. For under the car I use a big ass wire wheel, shook the crap out of my arms though.

dry ice would be expensive, wouldn't it?

Chip as much off as you can with a hammer and a screwdriver or chisel,

Then use a heat gun and heat the rest and scrape it off.

how much weight would you actually be saving?

Probably, I never bothered to check. As for weight it depends on the car, I would estimate under 20kg for my entire Sarlet including underneath it.

i used a chisel and hammer - takes freakn ages..removed about 5kgs over the tar stuff from the complete car interior. is it worth it? dunno yet..

I think I got about 15kg of sound deadening out of the inside floor of my Carina.
Heatgun, chisel and a bit of petrol and a rag to wipe off the remaining tar crap or whatever it is.

Half the reason for removing it in a race car is weight,

The other half is because it is actually flamable at the right temperature apparantly.
