Nicely done :)

The purists would get all minty but id 100% go K20 too.

It shouldn’t do as it’s designed for it. Having said that, I purposely kept it above the rubbing strip of the body so no water will be getting on it. I don’t see how it can condensate in there either. But i will check periodically to be sure.

So far I've done the rear of the car, tailgate, floor and arches inner and outer tubs and rear qtr panels. 2x sheets Stinger roadblock 0.6kg 22x sheets DodoMat Hex = 6kg 1x 6m roll DodoMat Superliner 1kg 10x 300x300 bass trap tiles 0.7kg Total weigh added 8.3kg Now i know this test is totally...

Rim only less tyre: 16x7 Speedline Turini = 8.9kg 15x7 EVO Corse X3MA = 6.5kg

I think that’s probably a good shout. I’ve seen massive condensation inside stripped out cars that have been left outside in the rain etc. But having the car better insulated should reduce the level of temperature change inside the car so should actually reduce the chances of condensation...

It always comes out with a tiny tug, just ask @Yorkshire Pudding 😅

Plugs would be great if you can make them. I think Renault has proper caps for the Kangoo. I used Dei kevlar tape.

Finished up the rear foam today. Took it as far forward as the rear bench. Fixed in the foam bass traps with some spray adhesive. I’ve kept these over the wheel arches and above the rubbing strips. Added further deadening to the rear doorcards and took the opportunity to swap the OEM rear...

All drains are clear as is their routing. Not sure how condensation can form on there unless you introduce moisture? This is the exact same process and materials used to turn vans into sleepers.

I have done the same as you last year and I've been getting a lot of condensation inside the car when it's really cold..make sure you have left a gap between the inner arches and the panel for the condensation to rundown the drain holes.I placed the silver mats and foam just below the windows...

I’ll be using the OEM boot mat on top of the foam in the boot area. The MLV would arguably be better but I want to try this first. 🙂

This is why many people get mixed results with sound deadening mass sheets. By fitting the mass loaded sheet, they have stopped a lot of the vibrations and rattles. But without something to stop diffuse the sound still coming through from outside, the road noise will still be quite apparent...

Steve. I’m also no audio engineer but speaking to a lot of my NVH teams at work and reading as much as I can. The way I understand it, sound is created by vibrations in the air. The panels in the car vibrate and reflect sound into and around the car. The deadening adds mass to the panels to...

Save it for her birthday. You don’t wanna spoil her. 😅

Bosh!!!

Lmao. F’kin brilliant. 🤣🤣🤣

You realise this liner stuff weighs less than a fart. Anyway, how’s your undercrackers cleaner, have your used it yet you big Jesse? 😅

Sticking down 1000 individual ear plugs is a pain in the arse though.

Finished off the back of the car with panel deadening and made a start on the super liner. Quite therapeutic once you get into it but it’s not easy to work with as the adhesive is so sticky, you can’t dare catch it on anything else it tears.

I read yesterday for some time regarding orientation and sound direction. I just wanted to see if they made any difference. Hence why i said they're wedged in and not fixed just yet. They actually work both ways but are more efficient facing the direction of sound you're wishing to diffuse...

Loving the added Aero. ;)

Funny you say that, where do you think those tiles came from? ;)

Also weighed a single sheet of Dodo Hex 1.8mm at 275g. So that’s approx 8.5kg for the 30 sheets.

Got another hour on it tonight so did a bit more. I need to remove the rear bumper to modify the cabin vents. So that will happen another day. Carried on with the boot floor and also started playing with placement of the 35mm acoustic trap foam tiles. Managed to acquire a few of these and I...

Halfords ones are made by Norbar. Decent quality and will do most of what you’ll want of it

I believe there was a modem supplied with the car that would connect via satellite back to Macca HQ in Woking. They still require an MS DOS based system to service the cars now and its believed they are also still having to use an late 80's Compaq laptop to do so. It was genuine F1 tech at the...

Usually plastic or rubber. I'll have a look later when I'm home and see what can be done. It should be an easy fix, just annoyed I've not found it before.

It needs to be able to open and close Rob, so taping it shut is not an option. I just need to stop them vibrating.

It was, it wasnt like the internet of today, but McLaren supplied a system whereby it could be plugged in anywhere in the world and Woking could access the vehicle PCM.
