Have the FULL cold air intake, cold air box, & cone filter will help with that.
Rotaries seem to have more low end torque on colder days, but the topend HP doesn't seem to be affected.

i agree on that.
i have a cone filter, but i deffinally have to construct a cold air box.
i have seen the how-to's on making the cold air box, has anyone done it with sheet metal?

This is one area where a good front-mount intercooler makes a big difference. The stock IC is REALLY bad - you guys just don't know how hot that sucker gets, and how nice and cold a good front-mount will get the air. Makes the car run like it's cold out all the time .
On cold air intakes, IMHO the best route to take is to shield the cone off from the hot engine compartment air, and provide a duct to supply fresh air from the front of the car. Some of the more radical designs end up just being a royal pain in the butt to install and remove, and you really don't gain as much as you'd think. A basic shield will get you all you really need.

Speaking of Heat
I was driving my AE Turbo through the desert between LA and Vegas. Probably mid 90's outside. I was driving pretty hard and noticed my temp guage go to middle and just a hair above. I let off immediately and it cooled off. I know i need some real temp guages, but anyone think damage might have been done to the engine or know of something i should check because of that?

I know I can tell a huge difference in my talon or my miata. I love those cool fall/spring nights feels like an extra 15hp.. Its been in the 90's here and they both feel like someone stuck a sock in the intake @.@

In the winter, unless I'm REALLY pushing it then my temp stays at 1/4.

Sometimes on hotter days (and yes it does get hot in WI) I try to not to drive to much, and if I do I dont push her to hard. But then when I the sun goes down I take her out to play
