When you say " bone stock " currently. Was it modded before ?
If so, what kind of mods did he have on it ?
I was also thinking a small pin hole leak in the headgasket leaking in the combustion chamber.

Ok....the car has 39k on it. He is the original owner, never been modded before. Only has a turbo timer on it. I am postive that its not burning coolent. The level is perfect. So i still am stumped. Its really odd, it doesnt do it on cool days or at night. But only on the hotter days. And never overheats while driving.

Alright,
I had a similar problem with my Acura integra. I found out that my fans were working but it started working when temps hit 220+ degrees.
Replaced the temp sensor and my fans kicked on 190 degrees. Fixed.

It begins to over heat. So for example. I drive, for lets say 20 min or so. Park the car for about 15 min, come back out, and start her up, and the temp gauge is reading past the half way point. Its not in the red or anything but it def is over heating. However once i start the car and get the coolent flowing, it drops down the normal operating temps. It has never over heated while on, even while sitting in traffic for hours, while its over 100. So this is something new to me that i havent seen yet in my days of builing motors. If anyone has a little insight it would be much apreciated.

you build motors and know nothing about this... wow.. its called heat soak. its very simple, motor isnt running, water not circulating, temp builds from the heat in the block... hence higher water temps... when you start the car, the thermostat, sense's the heat and opens instantly... there has yet to be a vehicle that doesnt raise the temp at least a little... even audi's raise, but only a little cause they run an external pump for the fluid to keep it circulating when the motor is off... also mitsu isnt like audi, the engine fan doesnt come on like an audi when the key is off.. otherwise an audi would do the same thing..
