100 Celcius isn't that bad and will easily be reached in hot weather with the a/c on or when road racing. 110-115 c + you should start to worry. That being said, there is no reason the car should get that hot from normal or even spirited driving with a properly functioning cooling system.

You're welcome.

In a year or two when you've spent time researching something, please return the favor and share what you've learned. Believe it or not, there isn't a lot of original content in that thread (although I'm proud of the colored arrows I added to the coolant flow diagram). What I did was spend a few months collecting info (from RX7club, Steve Ciriani's www.fd3s.net website , Rob Robinette's website , and other automotive websites) and eventually I organized it and posted it here.

if you see over 100 while driving just flick the aircon switch to max, this will kick the fans to higher speed.
