You may want to consider adding an oil cooler along with the radiator change because of your track use. You would be surprised how much that helps the coolant temperatures when under load.

Man been MIA
Small update got a cobalt oil cooler kit from moss!
Still waiting for summer school to be over so I can tackle the oil cooler install.
Still debating where to put the oil filter relocator since my mad box takes up the space of where it usually goes
Sounds crazy but planning to put it behind the front bumper just in front of the wheel
Washer bottle relocation off an NA with ABS. Was off my girlfriends car when she got into an accident I couldn’t put it back since the gram got mashed where it was mounted
Here it is now on my car where I got to utilize

Original plan was to get the cappuccino bottle relocating it in the wiper cowl but this was free and pretty much will work just as good. Although I would love the cappuccino bottle some day down the road

Aluminum slip on fittings
Sample of one out of the 3 oil lines. Wrapped in some nice nylonlike wrap to avoid abrasions

3 leaks out of 6 fittings fixed two and left with one more to fix. Other two were just lose because of myself being scared to overtighten fittings.
Last leak is on the swivel part of the fitting, will put back the steel fitting that originally came from the moss kit
Sooo uhh I punctured my ac condenser... hoping to fix that before track weekend. Up on the stands my car goes again
Your miata has come a LONG way!! and that fastback looks great!! Nice work!
After a coolant re route and oil cooler my car still overheats... might be time for a cross flow radiator
Sorry I pushed you in the direction of the oil cooler, I thought that would be the silver bullet. The combination of the oil cooler with the cross-flow radiator should give your car the best cooling advantages.
Also double check your timing, if it is running in retard it could run hot.
Did you disconnect your heater core? I read somewhere if you bypassed your heater core without re-routing it correctly could cause it to run hot. Double check that.
