Has anyone used Evans Waterless Coolant first hand? Florida has already had 20+ 90 degree weather and if you thought your turbo miata gets hot??? The rotary is worse. I ha e everything I need to do to keep the car cool like making sure all liners are tight and installed, koyo radiator, 185* thermostat, FC Fan Switch rather then a FD, brand new FD fan motors and blades, and lastly a aftermarket non constricted downpipe to get rid of exhaust gases out of the engine bay.
I don't want a vented hood because I love the smooth oem hood so that's out of the question. So this was another way to keep engine Temps down is the Evans Waterless Coolant.

I purchased 245/45/16 RE-11s
I super excited to see how the feel at autocross and during day to day driving.
There weren't a lot of choices in that size.
here is a bad video of me still holding the shift knob. I need to get a seat so bad so that I can sit straight up and down comfortably and confidently. My Poor body posture for having to lean right shows in the video. But hey, I still got a good time.

Here is a new video of the DeLand airstrip autocross. It was super dirty and dusty. I spun out the first two runs trying to test the road out. The last two runs I hit a cone each time. I focused to keep both hands on the steering wheel and keeping my foot of the clutch. I did well with my driving form.

Nice action shot.
Tomorrow I will be ordering brand new oem seals for the entire car to finally get painted. I was estimated about 1600 just for the seals and weather stripping.
Now I am going to need to purchase a brand new bumper because my current one has waves in it.
I will be painting it with a high quality paint to give it a rich tone and smoothing out the rocker panels.
I haven't decided of I want oem badges for a 93/ updated badges like the s7-s8/ or go with red badges to contrast the montego blue. I don't think if I did a different set of badges it would hurt the cars authenticity.
I will be having the tail lights polished in addition to the rest of the work. Both hatch and front windshields will be removed.
Upon thinking more into this, I was contemplating having the engine pulled to paint the engine bay. While the engine was out, it would have some work done to it like clutch and flywheel, stainless steel clutch line, new slave, Mazda competition motor mounts, new radiator hoses, and possibly a turbo rebuild. We don't know what it'll cost to have to motor pulled.
Doing all of these things would be my perfect job. Well pulling the motor part and rebuilding the turbos.
Pull the motor. It is a great chance to do so, it will most probably cost you less to do it now, and you will do a complete job.
Ive decided to not pull the motor. Ill do the engine bay whenever I need to pull the motor out for work. I'd have to go through mazda to pull the motor because everywhere else that can probably do the job is over an hour away while the dealership is 15 mins from the paint booth.
Glad I got some magnets made for autocrossing. This Was absurd to tape both sides of the car
