i live in the Philippines, a tropical country, and some of the mods here i have done and is really a big help.

i have sealed the nose air intakes primarily so that polluted air would not come in; i removed the footwell panel covering as well. if the a/c is off, like when i'm on the track, there will be hot air coming in but i just put some duct tape over it temporarily to prevent the hot air from coming in. just these two mods have done a lot to get more cold air into the cabin. lately i have installed the crystalline tint on all the windows (but the installer who has been to the middle east says he prefers V-Kool). although cold air is blown by the a/c, you could cook an egg on the dash because it's so hot when i am traveling 2 hours to and from the track hence the need for the tint -and for my arms and knees as well.

i want to insulate the side sills as well because that part gets really hot when on the track but i don't want to lose the stock carpeting and stock look of the interior. oh well, we'll see.

but many thanks to TheViper for posting these mods. BIG HELP.
