Default A built in sauna?

Ok its spring time, aka 80 degree weather.

What can i do about my maro? After driving for a bit the engine (im assuming) gets insanely hot and i feel it burning at my right leg when im driving, it all comes from that general area... Is it suppose to do that? or do i need to but a new thermostat?

It's not supposed to do that, but all 4th gens have that problem. Nothing to do about it.

Thin firewall ftl.

lol i think a new engine was the least of your problems. I had my cooling system fixed last summer kuz it was getting hot, but it could be something wrong with your fans have you checked them? Checked your radiator?

the shouldnt have. I hear mine all the time. what does your temp guage look like after its fully warmed up and youve been driving around? I know it i turn my fans on in the car it will cool down. I mean the guage starts to go up but it doesnt get to the point where i worry about it over heating anymore.

well if its at the 1/2 way hash mark you have nothing to worry about thats usual. More than that isnt usual. But id check your fans just in case. I usually have my heater on in the car and that keeps it down.
