I would like to say congrats on the car. You've done a superb job on detail. That's a given. I personally am not feeling the wheels and flares. I know it's your car and if you're happy then that's all that matter .1993 Protege LX-Midnight's shadow SOLD

About 800 pages back, I was talking about the wheels I really wanted...and had to settle on these for the time being.
As for the tires, the Direzza Sport Z1s are absolute crazy glue. Not R-tire glue, but unlike any DOT tire I've driven, at least. She corners like a dream.
I *may* step down to a 225/40 next time if I can find a friendlier 5th gear (maybe the Festiva one) as 75 mph at 4000 rpm is not a pleasant thought.'90 Mazda 323 - V6 KLDE, supercharged, right-hand drive, build log

No complaints, max temps I'm seeing are around 208* when it's 105*F outside and I'm sitting at red lights with the fan on. The fan is only using its own shroud (it's a Derale) so about 40% of the rad is not 'blown' during fan operation for now.
While cruising temps are around 190*.
So basically no complaints. When the M62 is going on, it will be either intercooled or I'll be using meth injection. The supercharger will be functional at 100% throttle (using a microswitch, like nitrous activation). That way it's power on demand, without being on when I'm driving normally.
