anyone have any advice on road noise reduction material thats inexpensive, other than dynamat (too much $)?

i cant hear myself think when i'm on the freeway. i at least want to be able to hear my stereo when i drive.

styrofoam in the door panels, it keeps the panels from rattling against the actual door

If your battery gets alot of white corrosion around the positive terminal, super glue a copper penny to the top of the battery on the positive side, you will never see corrosion again

I've been reading around here for the past couple of days, and a potentially huge weight reduction tip seems to not have occured to everyone: reduce your own lard ass. A lot of people easily have an extra 20 pounds sitting around.

LMAO- This same thought has crossed my mind a couple of times I just never posted it!

If you are trying to track down a noise under the hood do this:

Take a funnel and hose that will fit over the skinny end and use it as a stethoscope. Then you can put the funnel to your ear and point the other end to hear where the noise is coming from.

Like this:

if your car is a 130 mph+ car, make sure the plastic in the wheel wells are secured well and aerodynamic, or just rip them out to save weight. otherwise its kinda scary to hear and see them rip off at 130mph.

changing the oil at regular intervals (like every 6000 mi) will keep her running clean.

i reccomend mobil 1 oil + filter
