yea full temp meaning 90*. When i first got the car it was in the 70's. It may be that everything is fine, i just didnt know if it was normal or incorrect.

I suspect the same thing. Even with a KA-T with stock rad in this weather i rarely see temps higher than 65-68*C according to Nistune. Highest ive seen my coolant temps climb to is 160F after driving around for a while. Its just that its REALLY REALLY COLD outside. Its been in the teens-->single digits for the past week in NJ.


OP:
True true. I may just check the thermostat just in case i WAS lied to.
