i had an 87 mr2 n/a then sold it for a sc 88 mr2. before i sold my 87 i was having overheating problems. it would be fine till i drove it down the freeway for a period of time then it would overheat. i fixed the thermostat, water pump, radiator cap, and head gasket. but it still overheated. then i sold it and got the sc model. i bought it drove it about 40 miles doing 60 and bam overheated just like the 87. i can drive the 88 all day as long as i am going 50 or less and it doesnt spike. not sure wat it is. maybe my radiator. it also leaks around the thermostat housing only when running high pressure. have no clue wats up. maybe radiator??? idk its the only thing i did not fix on my 87.
