I heard they have now different formula of autofoam for two different types

Is autofoam really that good ? how bout the pricing ?

auto form is kind of good but watch out installer, which some of them don't even understand car water drain system and causing that car leaking ....
my very close friend kena once, now can't even drive in rain ......
I heard second issue is Fire (not sure abt it) smile.gif

Dear forumers,

Anybody know whether IceCube is still in business providing his brand of chassis foam?

Thank you.

Yeah this is what i heard from complains from some people. I heard the boss " desmond " and his disciple only sit there cit chat and do not really work on cheap cars. Pretty hash in my opinion

I went the other day to see... All mostly teenagers doing the job... very inexperience and slow .

I would go for them if only the experienced staffs know what to do...

Autofoam is irreversible. If you don't like the results there is no cure. There are also plenty of ways badly applied autofoam can screw up your car. If you want to improve your car there are less drastic ways to do it.

If you want to waste money and destroy your car in the long run, do it

Autofoam is a waste of time and money.

Foaming your chassis means, giving moisture an opportunity to be trapped by the foam. Trapped moisture means rust, rust means weaker chassis

Without understanding actual car's design. Foaming cannot reduce noise and increase stiffness effectively. Also, foam is NOT even close to being as hard as steel.

When you say comfort, I presume you want reduced noise, noise rarely travel through the chassis into cabin. Sound travels in a straight line and radiates from source. Foaming your chassis is like putting a finger few centimeters away from your ear, trying not to hear the radio.

If newer gen car then no need consider foaming la..... latest gen chassis all very rigid already. no need spend extra unnecessarily.

if iswara wira or other older generation with soft chassis, then maybe la

Everyone has their own opinions but how many are accurate?

http://www.mwsmotorsports.com/z32/foam/1999-01-1785.pdf

This is an SAE paper that talks about foaming the chassis and they have done measurement to measure the stiffness before and after and it does show that it improve stiffness.

However this does not show if autofoam can increase stiffness as much as what is written in the paper as the density is unknown.

Just to add. The vehicle in question is unknown. There is an increment in Modal frequency but what does that mean to consumers? Structure being strengthen doesnt equate to a quieter car. A car manufacturer may have intentionally reduced strength for a specific section to reduce weight and to transpose noise.

Until we can understand each and every car's intended design, foaming with the "one size fit all" method doesnt work. Referring to Autofoam, not to your opinion
