Hello,

Is it necessary to have ATF cooler and Engine Oil Cooler? I mean, if you only planning to do minimal mods like exhaust system and remap?

Depends on your car? If you are driving a Perdana V6 model..then ATF cooler is compulsory.

If you constant rev your car, engine oil is a must.
Same goes to AT Cooler if you are driving an AT.
I have actually read it somewhere that it is impossible to overcool an AT with the AT cooler just a few weeks ago. Before I always condemn installing one if you don't drive it spiritedly.

Hi All,

Now I return with another journey of interior cleaning and a bit of cataract removal.

Before I start, let's just say I found a video of how NOT to clean your interiors.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_FtEmkPIMk

So.... if it is not cleaned by using a pressure washer..... how should it be cleaned??? More of that coming right up.

So,.... car was delivered to my place in the evening...
