Just cam back from an A/C service shop where I left my two heater and A/C evaporators for leakage checking and cleaning.
Apparently there was some serious contamination on both with mildew and bacteria housing between the gaps.

A good idea to clean up your evaporators, to avoid breathing that stuff in.:8ball:

Spax doesn't come from me - it comes from Spax :) - so feel free to order when you want. Usually it takes up to 10 days before they ship them though.

Really? Great! Thanx Arran:)
I did get a quote from hem a few weeks back but they gave me a much higher pricing. I suppose EUROTECH members have a better discount?

Did a couple of things today. Painted with rust protection the front body bumper supports.

Did a quick repair on he A/C fan blower unit.

and finally covered the interior with heat and noise reducing elements. Due to my country's high temperatures, I would like to make sure that the engine heat as well as the street's heat does not burden the A/C's effectiveness which in turn will also overheat the engine.

Looks like a spaceship right?

Yes I think so too. The body is very noise friendly....
Some might add, what's a sports car without noise. :hand:
I am hoping more on the heat insulation and secondary on the noise reduction.

Yes, ordered through us it's much cheaper as we've got a discount account set up with them.
