I have been seeing everyones temps so high, on my car with the front mount , i'll barely go over 82-83c if im driving slowly, and 85c if im driving a some what aggresive. I have my fans riged to run all the time on low speed, maybe thats why my temps are so low.

but i hear its not good to run under 85, thats warm up mode for the car.. my fans turn on at 85c so i guess it would be all the time for me too, but my temps are 89-93c

spoolin1012 do u have the the thermostat in or did u plug it. I have my fans running 24/7 and still hit 210, maybe its my 4" thick IC you think?

Your Ic 4" is in front standing up straight ,AC coil leaning forward and your
radiator coil parallel to Ac 1 to 2" back. Last to get air and leaning. I have the same problem and am trying to duct some air straight to the radiator. I hope this works. ts7 rotorhead93@gmail.com

thats good to hear junkman.. i havent driven my car in a week so i dont know what mine is

I have a 180tstat, fluidyne and large SMIC and I see 205-208 once in a while, it cant be helped because the heat coming off of the road is brutal. I called Pettit and rotary performance and they are seeing similar numbers as well so that eased my worrying a bit.

Recently I've seen everywhere from 85-89c in the morning and 100-102c in stop and go in the afternoon. Turn the A/C on and add another 3 to 5c.

The heat down here is unlike other parts of the US simply because of that damn humidity. It just doesn't let the heat go. The thermometer outside might say 95f but the heat index will be at 105f or higher.

I'm sure that Mazda knew that when they put that silly little temp gauge in ours cars. Most drivers at the time when the car came out would have freaked if they saw the temp gauge moving all over the place, so they weighted it to stay at one place in the "safe" range. ( The previous statement is purely the creation of the author and should not be taken for fact, or used in a temp gauge argument thread somewhere else on the forum.)

easiest cure IMO. too much heat gets trapped in there.
