Excellent pics Jorge! Finally I can put some faces with names! I so need to get out there!

OK, couple of questions...
1. Jorge what tires are you running. I like the tread pattern. Looks like a good one for rain, and it's getting time for new ones.
2. I saw a black 8 that had a chrome fuel door with the center black. I have wanted to do that forever. Is there a thread on that or can it be bought?

Huey is correct on the tread pattern.

As for the black with the fuel door, that's Mazdamaniac's car. I would shoot him a PM about it, I think he's had it for quite some time.

oil temps were high mostly during stop and go traffic for me

my water temp did reach a whopping 237 F at one point on the drive to Vegas. never got that close even on the drive through the valley.

My temps were well under control, I think I never never saw anything over 225 and that was in stop and go traffic.

On Saturday's drive even as I was opening it up, I barely saw over 210 F


HUGE part of that is thanks to the BHR Radiator paired with Mazmart's Thermostat and Water Pump.
