You laugh and think it's funny, try driving in stop and go traffic when it's 110 with 6% humidity - ain't no fun watching the water temp rise past 210 and not wanting to go down. When were not driving we laugh at you in Georgia with your 80% humidity. Not yet sure who will get the last laugh.

Blah, I know, Im talking about WHERE, rx8club dont own the whole event.
You hear that Paul ? Now THROW a "FREE" Mazmart Sticker with my water pump order
Guess I need to put a mazmart sticker on my car--i will wear it proudly!
Interesting thing i posted on another thread
coolant and oil temps are almost if not totally synchronized during mid length town/ suburbia driving. that is a real good thing. Used to be about 10-15 degrees difference with oil being a little higher.
Still some normal temp fluctuation but now the oil temps come down when the coolant temps do--didnt used to do that this markedly.
also the car warms up faster---better scrubbing!
Very pleased with this unit. Mazmart did good.
Ok Paul now you will have to buy a bigger hat?! JK dude.

I'll snap his neck.
Generally, if your ambient temp is below the mid 90°F range and you have any humidity in the air at all, the cooling system will hold its own (keeping you at or below 220°F).
As the temps go up (and the water content drops), the coolant temps go up proportionately.
When its 107°F in the desert (like today), I can see 211°F in the coolant at idle after a few minutes.

That said, you don't have to deal with our winters
Those I would give up in a heartbeat.

I've seen 212F on some hot days here after some average driving - that's the hottest I've seen. We can get some really hot days here. Nothing compared to your hot days, but our humidity can get pretty oppressive.

Yes, I am a big baby. Especially when it comes to the cold. You may be too when you get a bit older, you young whipersnaper...
1/2 a foot of snow? That's what we call a light dusting around here It is amazing though how many people forget every year how to drive in the snow (knocking on wood that I'm not one of them this year...). And it is amazing how the news media makes a big deal out of it when we get more than a couple inches, like it almost never happens around here.
Anyway, I'm going to say something on topic so Paul doesn't get mad. Getting the water pump installed tomorrow...

Of course, in July you don't need to roll your windows down because they've melted...

of all the people here installing this pump, do you have a scan tool to make coolant temp comparisons?
If not, gimme a couple weeks and I'll see what readings I come up with. (assuming Hymee remembers to bring my Scanalyzer to SSX)

I've got the ScanGauge. From what someone said earlier though, they aren't seeing coolant temps change, but they have an oil temp gauge and are seeing oil temps drop.

Of course, now that I'm back in LA, I'm always thankful for the weather we get here. It's never as hot as places like Arizona, and yet never cold enough to require anti-freeze.
