Overheating what havent I changed?
So I have been overheating it has been about 100 every day. I have put in a new water pump, thermostat, mishimoto radiator and fans and cap. Also I am running 90/10 water/anitfreeze ratio. What am I forgetting?

All fans are good and im not loosing any coolant. Runs at about 195-200F at a sitting still with ac on. Under boost or at speeds at 60-70 the car gets to 230F and will keep increasing if I were to let it. I ordered an undertray and and new temp sensor. If that dont fix it I am completely at a loss of what to do. I understand a coolant re route helps but I am not even driving the car hard and it overheats.

OP, you realise that with no further info except that you dont know why it overheats and that it does infact overheat, I was able to deduct that you were infact missing the undertray, immediately, with no hesitation and full confidence.
If someone can do that, whats the chances that they are right?

I understand I just didn't realize how crucial it was on a street used miata. Sometimes it over heats just going 40mph or les. Didnt think ducting would be so crucial as to lower 230f temps at such low speeds.
