Major cooling issues
I have a EG hatch with a B16A swap up until a few days ago it was staying cool like it should unless i did an excesive long top end run. And i was fine with that. but in the last couple of days i have been driving to and from nashville everyday and it has been getting really hot sitting in traffic. when i get moving it does not cool back down it stays a little past 3/4 hot the whole way home. if i turn the heater on it does nothing for it. tonight i changed out the thermostat and pressure cap and put all new fluid through out the block and the radiator. please help any ideas

Make sure your fan is turning on. Check for leakage around your waterpump. I would bleed the system as well just to make sure.
