every now and then it will start to run hot when its hot out i usually just turn on the heater and itll bring the temps down. When its cold itll stall out if i don't give it gas when i put it in neutral/hold the clutch in

Blasting the heater in hot weather to keep the car from overheating sounds so pleasant. Everyone buy a DSM!

I do really like the way these cars look though (particularly the Eagle Talon version). I just wish they weren't so liable to die constantly. That and the FWD is sorta
