Mazda Maniac pointed out some criteria in temps (Under load, high rpm etc). We don't like to see more than 195degF outlet temps on track or about 180 in. We even prefer 20deg cooler than that if possible. It's hard to do that with a factory Mazda thermostat.
Some would judge success on track as not puking their coolant all over the ground when racing, we like to see what a motor looks like over the course of time under arduous conditions.

I've PM'd you to keep the thread on topic

I've been seeing 110c in the city lately.. a bit worried.

This is after my rad fan fuse blew and the car overheated and purged.

Could it be the new coolant mix is THAT less efficient? I haven't done a full flush just topped off what purged..

I also noticed that when the car is 100c+ and I have the A/C on the A/C compressor clicks on and off every few minutes or so..

Fuse shouldnt blow, there must be something wrong with your FAN or the wires.

Have you check everything ?
