Another (Dutch) 121-owner here :-) I've owned three so far, and that temperature gauge is in a normal position. They're always just above that normal mark, even when tackling some steep mountain passes in Italy in the summer. Although this is the model with a ref counter; they have smaller temperature gauges so the needle position seems even higher.
The 1.3 LX has a top speed of 153 km/h, the 1.3 GLX 164 and the 1.3 GLX Cabrio version (like mine) won't get over 155 on the GPS :-)
No this temperature is normal. I own a 121 DB myself. Even when driven normally in everyday traffic, the temperature gage is slightly above the middle of its scale.
These engines are supposed to be warm. After a cold start, my 121 idles at 2000rpm, so that it becomes warm faster. Once the engine is heated up, it idles at 800rpm
@DolleHengst Glad at least one other 121 runs that hot then - I use mine as a track car and it never gets close to that hot no matter what I do to it. But as long as it keeps on going for you it doesn't matter! :)
I'm from the Netherlands, and i live very close to the German border. So i've also driven my 121 flatout on the Autobahn. At 165 km/h (100 mph) on the speedo it stayed exactly at that same temperature it has when normally driven. Slightly above the middle. Very slightly that is though, let's say 52%. The gage needle still "touches" the middle mark.
In my opinion runs hot when the meter gets really close to the top end of its scale.
Three days ago i drove my 121 on the Autobahn in Germany. That was one hour of flatout driving, only slowed down now and then by a lorry/truck overtaking another one.
At a slight decent, it reached 176 km/h, which was 171km/h on my GPS.
My 121 makes more revs than the one in this vid.
Mine does 5100rpm at 150km/h (speedometer)
According to my TomTom gps, that's 148km/h. Speedo is accurate!
wow this car is 1.3 l?? i have 1.5 litre mazda 121 in australia, the clutch is slowly dying. at 100 km/h my car is at 3800 rpm? almost 4000 rpm.... because of my clutch!!
sry das ich so spät reagiert habe-ich habe den wagen nicht meht, daher kann nicht es genau sagen.Das einzige manipulation wenn´s so sagen kann,war eine spontane idee Superplus aufzutanken beim leeren tank-kein gemisch..Das gaspedal ist sofort empfindlicher geworden...
liebe grüße, ich hatte auch so einen meiner lief aber geschätzte 190 kmh ( tacho geht ja bloß bis 180) meine nadel blieb dann beim H von kmh stehen =)

Fahre auch nen Mazda 121 1.4i 16v 75ps aber meiner läuft nur knapp über 150,
liegt bei mir zum einen an den Breiteren Reifen aber hauptsächlich daran das die Schiebedach Fahrzeuge elekronisch abgeregelt sind!
Bin übrigens aus der KA gegend!
