Wow, that's interesting. Must have been all those extra emissions devices allowing too much heat to accumulate.
I wish Mazda would stop renaming their cars for different markets. The Eunos Roadster/MX-5/Miata for example. What's up with that? I won't even get into all the different names out there for all their rotary powered vehicles.

Carpet got hot, thats about it.
They had a "pre-convertor" on the dump pipe like the (92-95) series-6 RX-7 did & that got hot but was double shielded. Main (twin) CATS where under the car in the air flow. There is a reflective aluminium exhaust shield that bolts onto the underside to reflect all heat.
An exhaust temp sensor in the "Pre-CAT" detected the temps rising & at a preset level would switch the ECU into "overheat" mode, dumping crazy amounts of fuel into the exhaust to try & cool it. Works well actually, until you modify the exhaust & change the flow characteristics.
Driving around in summer, you can feel extra heat at your feet (rhd) from those twin turbos.

Somebody needs to import the Cosmo and work with CARB (or whatever state your in) set the precedence, than others could follow (like the Skyline), who is volunteering to spend their time and money to do that?
