Anyway, problem: My dash water temp sensor is not 'centered' when the car is fully heated up. It gets near, but leans more towards the cool side and never moves, unless of course the car has cooled down.
I also notice my aftermarket water temp sensor reads a little low, around 65-70c when moving and slowly crawls to 80c when stopped. Most other DC5r (judging by same K20 variant) averages around 80-90c, as well as my friends EP3.
I'm not sure if it's a stuck themostat or the OEM temp sensor going bad, my guess is the thermostat since my the Prosport gauge also reads a low temp. Any thoughts?

Mine just never moves any more higher, even if I push the car hard for a spirited drive or hoon the hell out of it lol >.> Not sure why the water temp reads low too, anyone have a aftermarket water gauge and wanna share their readings?
I've adjusted the gauge sensor position and topped up the fluid to the correct level and bled the system correctly

thrashing/spirited driving/hooning does not equal track
brakes chassis and engine are all being pushed to the limit.
vtecing and shifting at 8-8400rpm for a few seconds at a time puts no where near the amount of heat that track does, considering during track, your consistently at 5000rpm + for minutes at a times. not the same as giving it a hit down an empty road after a corner lol.

aright fair enough lol, btw where is the max line in the coolant reserve tank? I think I've got a leak at the bottom where it flows back into the radiator

At the track my genuine Defi gauge reads my water temp as being around the 110 degrees mark. Day to day driving, unless I sit in traffic after the car has been driven for a while, it won't ever reach 100 degrees.

yeah dedy's got the front bumper (Pre facelift), its in a little bit of a scuffle nothing a good touch up wont fix but dont know about the lower AC line, as the whole engine was removed due to damage it suffered from the track day.
