..I decided to do some spring cleaning and also take out the sound deadening from under the carpet (which turns out to be pretty light :hs: ). Looks so clean now its almost a shame to cover it back up with carpet again. This pic was at the half way point to give you an idea of before / after.

Weigh it and let us know if it was worth the effort.

Its going to be sitting there for a week or two anyways so I didn't mind the effort, but I knew ahead of time that it wouldn't be worth the effort just to take the sound deadening out. I mainly wanted to pull the carpet to clean it, the inside has smelled pretty funky for a while so I am going to give everything a good cleaning. I would guess it is all under 5lbs.
:edit: lightweightmiata.com has it at 4lbs. |
The carpet can get funky if it was ever wet and not allowed to dry.

what did you use to get it out?
|
dry ice most likely

Or a heat gun
|
yea, dry ice is the best method. i think they sell some at party stores around here at least.
|
publix... if you guys have one locally, usually stocks dry ice....
i'm pretty sure a heat gun will leave sticky residue |
You should spray it with a coat or two of rust converter just because you can. When i had my carpet out thats what i did.

There aren't any party stores around here, never heard of Publix either. I think my best bet is to try asking at a deli or market for a brick. I think I may lay some insulation under the dash on the drivers and passenger side floor / trans tunnel to keep my feet cool while the carpet is out, they get really hot with my open down pipe, I usually have to have vent air blasting on my feet. I am going to see if I can find some stick on insulation at Home Depot after work, like the silver/aluminum stuff.
