Getting an RX7

Was wondering if this setup is good enough to stand the Desert heat. the car has chasis has 135k on it, but has a new (minus the crankshaft) motor not a reman with about 5k on it, new turbos (yes new), new paint job new potenza ZR tires w/panasport j-spec rims,17x8.5/17x8.9, new brakes, new clutch with alum flywheel, fluidyne radiator w/alum exp tank, dual tranny coolers (alum oversized) hiflow cat w/downpipe, M2 stage 3 ECU, race battery, hks dragger exh (4inch complete)greddy twin intake system infinity/sonny sound sys, mazda speed carbon fiber hood with vent ducts and plenty of other aftermarket mods with less then 3k on them. I heard about the reliability mods and this car has it. Will this car last in the heat? ( 118 average in the summer) I want to know what you think for those who live in Desert places or Somewhere hot. I Appreciate it.

wow 118 degrees?! first of all....you DEFINITELY need an aftermarket water temperature gauge. The stock one is horrible for temperature readouts. That way you can see first hand if its holding up well or not. Id run some water wetter in your coolant to help cope with the high temps, and an aftermarket intercooler would help as well.

ditto the question asked by Foz'sRX-7

Seems the seller has you convinced of all this "new" stuff.

That makes no sense.
