I think I saw you going towards smokey hill and buckley the other day. I was the gray mazda 6 with the carbon fiber hood. Rx7's just makes everyone turn their head.

hey so im not sure what could be causing this, it doesnt really worry me at all but, once and a while like 5 min after start up my car will struggle to idle and even died one time at a stoplight a few days ago, the only thing i did before was install my new fluidyne rad and the first drive i took 5 or 10 mins in at a light it was struggling to idle and died, also sometimes when i try and start it, it will turn over then struggle to idle and die and take a few secs to finally start up and sometimes on warm up my idle will go from like 600 to like 1100 back and forth until its fully warmed up?

oh and i rigged up a little mounting spot for my commander, before it was just coming out of my glove box and i had to grab it to look at it so i thought this is pretty cool, it fits super! snug in there and i finally got to use some of my carbon wrap hahaha

i was also wondering what normal operating water temps are in celcius?

I usually consider 80*c to be fully warmed. Operating range should be 80*-95*c. Any triple digits in Celsius and you could be heading to overheating. 110+ is the danger zone really.

Yep, installed em last year.
I'm usually off Monday and Tuesdays and afternoons on weekends, we can always figure out a place to check out each others cars.
