Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade - Page 35 - Toyota Yaris Forums

DailyDriver · 10-18-2010, 04:10 PM

i am about 45 min SW of salt lake city. Eagle Mountain City. I have about a 45 min commute to work and need to quiet my ride down. I started reading this and SQcomp's threads with that in mind. I have really enjoyed and appreciated the time you guys have taken to not only do the work, but post pics and descriptions for guys like me. (uh oh, its getting sappy...(yawn!)) And all the others that know their stuff and have made comments too. I have learned a ton. One of these days i will get my car done (sound deadening and system upgrade). Seems like i never have time. Just when i start thinking that though, you will post that you were up till 2 or 3 am. I definitely have that time available. hmmm. One of these days i will shut up and start working... till then, i will keep reading. (grin)

thanks for asking Derick.

We went to SLC in 2006 for a photo shoot, weather was beautiful indeed. My wife also has some relatives down there, I wish I could go back there again.

Thanks.

I like your gallery from the model airplane event.
Those little R/C jets are cool. I used to fly R/C planes years ago, but I never made a ducted fan / jet.

I also like your demo video to show the sound deadened door panel.
Clever to use the garden hose! You can really hear a difference.

Good job.

Ok, it's midnight and everybody is sleeping now
I'm going back to the garage and clean up my mess....

Sewer ejector? Jeezus man! Stop taking such large craps! You're plugging up the drain!

YEAH!

Best comment I seen on here in a long time!

( I was thinking the SAME THING )

derickveliz2 · 10-21-2010, 02:57 AM

Just to relax I washed my car, but I wanted to show you how the panels sound so different when they are deadened, I recorded this because I'm about to treat the front fender panels and hood.

OK,
I got my self some Resin and did some testing on the foam balls, one did kind of melt a little bit, we'll see how they look tomorrow.

This stuff smells funny!

sqcomp · 10-22-2010, 06:54 PM

the heat and chemicals will melt the foam. That's why you use something that won't be affected by chemicals and heat as much.

Got it! the hard way jeje

derickveliz2 · 10-24-2010, 02:30 AM

So I end up using some water-based Polycrylic on the foam balls to prevent melting...

I did work once with resin and fiberglass about 20 years ago, I remember the smell (it was a little patch for a small speaker box I made).

I cut the fiberglass in 1" stripes, I mixed 2oz of resin with 20 drops of ???? I don't know what is the proper name in Spanish is "catalytic"? I'll read the bottle tomorrow and edit this post. Yeah it's MEKP!

The mix proportions was less than the instructions 1oz = 10 drops Instructions require 1oz=12 drops. I did this just to aloud me more time, they way I look at it is more drops... less time to work!

I applied a little bit of resin and a stripe of fiberglass at a time, until the ball was all covered, tomorrow I'll try to do the second one (green ball) then I'll start sanding and applying some bondo and then sand again. We'll see how it goes!

sqcomp · 10-24-2010, 02:43 AM

build up the enclosure before adding bondo. Also remember, if you mix the resin too hot, it will become brittle.
