Sound Deadening Removal
2
I finally did it today. Now i have another vehicle i can do some more work to the crx. A few weeks back we had a very heavy rain...too bad for me I left my window half way down 
. I had about an inch of water behind my driver seat. I soaked and vacuumed out what i could but,....the mold smell. its gotten so bad i cant stand to drive it.
I pulled the carpet out, its beyond cleaning so it headed to the trash. Im going to make up my own in a week or two. I was dreading removing the deadening but it was actually very easy. Bet you wont hear that often.
I used a rubber mallet and a putty scraper and a pry bar. Just started beating it and it started chipping away. Kinda like a roof shingle, just brittle.
Here is a an after pic

Now for what is on everyones mind....Weight. How much? Lucky for you I picked up what I could and weighed it.

6 lbs in the bag. there was probably atleast another 2 lbs that i couldnt pick up. It was flying everywhere. There is alot outside the car that I havent picked up.
Now I need to vacuum it out clean it some more and im going to por-15 the floor pan before it gets new carpet.
Ive heard horror stories about doing this. Everything from grinding wheels, whizzer wheels, chemical and Composimo used liquid nitrogen to freeze it and shatter it. It was about 70 degrees out today so it wasnt the cold. All in all it took me about an hour and a half including a couple breaks.

Round 2....Fight!!!
I pulled the rear carpet out today. I hate rain. My taillight gaskets are leaking so more water...luckily none on the rear carpet....phew...
I started taking out the patches under where the cargo box used to be and the part that goes into the spare tire area. Still pretty easy to get out.
After the 6lbs from the front I didnt expect the rear to be so much, but it was another 4.8lbs!! Im up to 10.8 lbs removed so far. Not bad for a few hours of my time.
