I have the totally opposite thought against you.

Becos this is a cheap car, i dun care to invest few thouand into soundproof and ICE, after all i get what i want wif cheap car.

But mind you soundproof is poison, when u start, u will know.

My experience is like this,

1st i deadening the whole floor and wheel arc inside the cabin, then road noise improve alot, but seems like the front noise still obvious, so

2nd i deadening and soundproof the fender+mudguard as well, wow, now the tyre noise from front almost eliminate, but now the engine, wind and rear tyre noise more obvious, so

3rd i DIY 3 layers front door deadening last weekend, front tyre noise and engine sound insulation improve further, now only left the wind sound and rear tyre noise.

4th today i just purchase soundproof door rubber online, will wait and see the result.

5th upcoming weekend i will DIY rear door and rear boot deadening.

You know how much i spent for this so far?

>RM2000 adi, and is just within a month,

I feel that just like mad man and can't stop improving my car, is like addicted, but afterall my B-line manual is still cheaper than RM40k if i done all the soundproof job, for me worth it.

700 for whole car deadening? Good luck to you.

Nvm, I slowpoke than you...

Don't know how the rear looks like...

To all BLMer, want to share the soundproof rubber that i installed just now.

The wind sound is gone at same speed, it also block some road noise and engine sound, when ur car go through the uneven bump, u can feel the huge different,i have to say very satisfy with that.

The soundproof rubber is OEM one, not the sticker type, u need to pull out the ori flat rubber and snap in the new rubber, now close door very solid, and it helps to minimized the door rattling as well, worth to try.

Anyway, those rubber for 4 doors is RM150, you can get it from Cari forum.

I DIY for doors and boot only. Floor and fender done by shop. Anyway, where you stay?

That rubber i bought online and DIY.

Open all ur doors and boot lid and slam it as hard as possible. I'm serious, most probably due to boot lid.

Then 100% confirm is due to boot lid adi.

The height of the steering wheel can adjust one...

No big deal, as u won't open ur wiper so often what...

Today finish DIY boot sound deadening.

Deadening







Final stage sound proof wheel arc using STP Splen

Adi Done on earlier stage.

1. Whole floor deadening --> 2. Mudguard+Fender --> 3. Front door 3 layer --> 4. Boot --> next should be rear door 2 layer.

Added on November 6, 2010, 6:09 pmwhich noise u want to isolate actually?

If u want to isolate road noise + engine noise, mudguard, fender and wheel arc is a must.

Try fully open ur front door, look at the hole at the door joint, u can clearly see there is uncover big hole through the fender to the engine, everytime when the engine fan rotate, u can feel the hot air from the engine. Apply deadening on the fender and use soundproof material to cover the hole from inside the fender, u will get big improvement in terms of engine noise and road noise.

Soundproof won't help, but deadening (anti vibrate).

My front doors now is free from any rattling sound.

Impossible to check since our BLM rear is drum brake.

I think is just a normal nut that stop ur pedal from travel too far.

Since u said alot of start stop traffic, 10KM/L is consider ok adi.

It won't improve much or no improvement at all at 5k and 10k millege, at least this apply on me.

Noisy.

Especially manual BLM, 4k rpm at these speed. But it doesn't happen to my manual BLM...

At 150km/h only hit 5k.

The car look isn't final yet, just some shots from certain angle, after fitter with plate no and rim i bet it will look differently, so no need to jump into conclusion now.

Honestly for current gen BLM, back in 3 years ago when i 1st saw the car from behind, i feel ugly due to narrow body and high ride with small wheel. But after that feel more and more acceptable.
