Update:
This past Saturday, I invited a few SoCal CI members to come over my house for a mini tech day meet to help me remove the sound deadening inside DJ and just to hang out. I thought that 20lbs of dry ice was going to be enough for the entire car, but since it was quite warm that day, the ice started to evaporate quicker than anticipated. We were able to remove about 75% of the sound deadening. I plan on finishing the job either this coming weekend or the weekend after next when I come back from Toronto (Aunt's wedding). Even though we didn't quite finish the job, I still had a blast hanging out with the homies.
Here are some photos that I took:
Nick AKA Nick4dei was the first to arrive. He hopped right into DJ and started banging away.
At times, the fog created by the dry ice was so thick that Nick couldn't see what he was doing.
As you can see, the sound deadening in the rear came off quickly without any issues.
The dry ice definitely did its job to make the sound deadening brittle.
Nick looking constipated while banging away with the hammer and chisel.
Dry ice. Just do it. (See what I did there?)
Datass.
The front section was a b**** and a half to remove.
Tom AKA NemesisCBR helped me diagnose and repair an issue I had with my passenger side APR Performance side mirror. Thanks Tom!
My buddy Allen, a non-CI member hung out at my pad while his '09 Corolla was being serviced at Raceline USA. Not being a car enthusiast, he enjoyed himself listening to us petrolheads talk about cars all day long.
Honorary CI member Aaron (I don't even think he has an actual CI account, but he has CI decals on his CRX) happened to be in the neighborhood and stopped by to hang out and grab a beer with the guys. I liked his watch and wanted to snap a photo of it, but ended up with a crotch shot instead. Oh well...
Big thanks to Tony AKA TheSkygun for giving me a much needed cigarette lighter! Now I can charge my iPhone!
Tom looking a bit concerned here.
Lastly, here are DJ's new JDM '98 Spec ITR tail light assemblies. Thanks Tom!
