IS-F running hotter than usual ?
hi Everyone,
I have searched for this, and it seems that the consensus is that our cars run hot as it is, but today the car just seemed a little hotter than usual so figured I would inquire here and see if anyone has experienced any of the issues described here.
Today was around 80+ degrees, and after accelerating WOT, settled into traffic and began cruising in 8th, it seemed like a lot of heat crept into the cabin from under the dash. Ignored it for a bit, until I noticed the center console wall by my right leg was emitting heat as well. Felt the wall, seemed hot, then traced along the console and stuck my hand in the cup holder which seemed hot too. ( Car was parked in the shade prior to all this)
No warning lights, no ATF/TEMP or CEL, oil level was at the usual 3 bars. Visual check of the engine bay seems normal, no coolant leaks ..
Thinking I'm over thinking, but wanted to see if this is "normal."
Thanks for reading all that, any help/feedback is appreciated.

My cabin seems to be warm most of the time, and I do get heat around my legs (under the dash) too. I'm not sure if this is normal but I've had it like this ever since I had my 2008 F.

I'm the guy with the temperature set to 79 degrees all the time. The only time the car feels hot to me is at the track when it's 102 outside and I've got the windows down and the A/C off (required to be off while on track).
