Stupid noob question.
Ok yesterday i flushed the radiator on my car and i think i mixed too much antifreeze in... it's probably 75% There's a bottle of water wetter in there too.
Is that gonna mess anything up? or will it just make it that much less likely to rust the plates?

Im pretty sure coolant should be about a 60/40 mixture of it and h20, Ive heard of ppl putting in pure coolant in their cars with out any fuck ups, Im sure you will be fine. as for water wetter, I myself have never used it so I wouldnt be able to tell. It reduces coolant temps so I think it may be something good to stick in your rex lol.

The plates are iron,they will rust a little
Water wetter is garbage on a rotary,dont just go throwing shit in the engine that You have no idea if its good or not,keep in mind of the aluminum rotor housings.
If your worried about engine temps,make sure the car has a belly pan.You have seen the one I made for my FB and Joes FC,it helps with dropping the temps alot..
If yoru not satified with that,get an E fan.
An upgrade thats worth it and you wont regret it.
I dont know what OEM specs for collant in a rotary is,but on a empty radiator,I have always used 75% to a full gal of the 1 gal jug,and top it off with water.
DO NOT use Dexacool (the orange coolant)

the belly pan shit is very very true. i wuz lucky enought to find a stock one with the slits and it works B-E-A-UUUUTIFULLY. oh and if you decide to get an efan. i have one from a v6 taurus and if you do remove the damn plastic shroud dat also helps.

I wouldnt try it to confirm it or not.
