D.K's LCR, #Projectcarbon. Still alive

A little cheat I learnt a while ago was to use Hi tack roof flashing, It is basically the same as the expensive soundproofing but a lot cheaper and it DOES work.

Should of told me before, we got loads of that stuff at hoebase, could of given you a 20% discount!

But if you need any more for the doors/boot etc. i'd be happy to help/steal some

Cheers Will, My Mrs work's at the Catford one It's still cheaper at wikes though, £7.30 for 10 meters
What did you use in your's ???

Erm, I haven't actually done any yet lol
I saw the idea of this flashing tape on talkaudio but never got round to doing it

A few more little bit's done today.
Started off just intending to fit my rear strut brace but as the whole boot had to be striped I thought I might aswell soundproof it while it was all out.
Firstly seal up these little bugger's

Just be mindful how you shut the doors

 

[D.K]

It has made a huge difference to mine

Oh bugger I never thought of that

whooo I have a job to do!
how many layers did you do?

 

[D.K]

I just did one layer, but I used about 20 meters,
It's quite heavy too so it might help to lower your car a bit aswell

They are down behind the rear wheel arch's, you need to take out the back trim panel, the rear quarter trims, the parcel shelf supports and the side carpet's

Why shoud it matter when you shut the door?

Is this mod worth doing on any cupra.

 

[Willie]

I think these are the vents to save the pressure build up when closing the doors. Too much pressure = popped ear drums or not able to close door

oh, just have to open a window before you close the door then, ha.

 

[F2 Stu]

They're also a means of venting air, otherwise the air within would just recirculate

I'v recently been getting a nasty knocking noise coming from the front nearside wheel area so I poped into AmD Essex today to get it checked over, after a lot of rocking the car on the clutch and a bit of head scratching the boy's traced the noise to a loose gearbox mount, God know's how that cam loose but it's now tight and I have no more noise
