·I won't ask these questions on the SE-R mailing list because those guys are of bunch of gearhead geniuses like Kojima, Rob Cadle, Jay etc. and I can barely find the dipstick on my G20. And, I'm not racing, just a street driver who loves his 95 G20 automatic (sigh, I will be advancing the timing to 17 degrees next tune up and having a PR CAI installed later this year, so don't dog me too much). Anyway, here are my questions, I guess both involving reducing the interior noise level of my car:
1) tire recommendation. Want a quiet tire that does not give up too much in the way of handling. Size 195/64/14. Right now I'm settling on the BF Goodrich Touring TA HR4, because a) heard the Pirellis tend to go round early, b) heard the tread life of the Dunlop D60A2s wasn't that good, c) did not hear much good about the Yoko Avid H4s from any of the local dealers, and d) can't afford the Michelin MXV4s. Suggestions anyone out there? Personal experiences?
2) Will it *really* help to reduce noise levels by installing Dynamat (or something comparable) all over the place? I had a little bit of Dynmat installed in the trunk when I upgraded the stereo, but if I had a lot of money to burn I suppose I could install it a) all over the trunk, line it completely), b) in the rear deck (is that what it's called? The area where the rear speakers are? I told you I'm ignorant) and/or c) in the doors? Opinions anyone? I realize Dynamat won't do a thing about wind noise, which seems prevalent in this car.
Thanks for any and all advice!
