removing the interior carpet

Hey guys wanna strip and clean, besides the seats and console,is there anything else that gets triky, does the carpet shrink after washing it

im sure there is a few guys that have does this before

to get the entire carpet our you need to remove the dashboard. Good luck.

ok so i guess ill do a normal deep clean valet

thanks doc

And below the carpet is sound damping material stuck onto the body... good luck on removing those... ask anyone that has stripped a car.

But only if you want to remove it 😛

I want to lift the carpets to sound proof the floor but if its that much of a job then Ill leave it. Already added 20Kgs of sound proofing, want to add another 20 somewhere 😂 .

BAN why??

Add another 20 kilos! 😮

Ur car anorexic? 😉

Guys don't let the S13 beat you man.

It's do-able. And everything that's worthy of being done is usually not easy.

Sound deadening material under the carpets is a good idea. The underfelt stuff comes out pretty easily once the carpet is out. At least it did on my car. It's very thick though. At least 3cm I reckon.

Replacing it with sound deadening may not even make the car heavier. If it does it will be marginal.

Gary if you not gonna do it then chuck that sound deadening material my way man. May even buy it 😀

40Kg is nothing, you will barely feel that in the seat of your pants.

DcG sorry it aint for sale I will find somewhere to use it when I get time. I have done the whole boot which worked pretty well, just need to try kill road noise now - firewall and rear arches will prob be the best bet.

40kg is a hell of allot! 😮

Think, car performance wid empty tank(almost) and the performance wid a full tank.

Like running with scissors
or swimming with a full stomach!

All our moms warned us! 😮

Take that chick wid the tits off! I cant concentrate! aaarrrggghhh! :x

No!

Whats you doing with my a pic of my GF? 😂

The question is What am I doing with your GF?
Then ask about the pic!

stop lying, you know I sent you that!

Yip you are cape original. She was looking for somthin a bit hetro!

😂 (best comeback I got) 😢

never let the S13 or the CA18det beat you...

stop being panzy's...

a dashboard takes less than an hour to remove. i bet if you hurry you could do it in half an hour!!!

and if the dashboard really cant be removed, then a simple stanley knife means that you dont have to remove the dash to get the carpet out.
