Floor tar repair/ restoration Options

[TonyA]

What does everyone use to repair floor tar sound deadening material. I have some popping up very little rust the cause of course. I am removing a small amount to good sound completely rust free areas and want to restore that to like new appearance. Any suggestions?

The shop where I used to work was getting good feedback from the lizard skin. That’s certainly not the same thing as a real study and maybe it’s like the butt dyno. You feel what you want to feel and hear what you want to hear. I figure if it’s not enough, I can add more of the modern sheet style product.

Besides sheet metal, I’ve found a lot of noise comes from induction, exhaust and tires. Years ago, I went from a stock 1.7 (FI, oem exhaust and standard tires) to a hot 2.0 with carbs, aftermarket monza exhaust and yoko A008 tires. The increase in noise was shocking. Each piece- induction, exhaust and tires could be heard individually and at different times.

My 914 used to be my daily driver and trips over an hour or two became a little less fun. Now I have driving options and if it bothers me, noise canceling ear buds work wonders. I use them on my indoor bike trainer, power tools and lawn mower. They make exterior noise disappear.
