    High temperature.

    I searched but i think what i have maybe different. My car always runs above half way point. It never moves back down, if anything it may get a little hotter. But it does this with in 5min of driving. I am thinking it might be the thermostat.?

    I have a track day soon so i want to solve this before i even have to drive an hour away to get there.

    Thanks :D

          Stock thermostat and i am guessing m50 fan. I didnt do the swap. But maybe my thermostat just went bad.

                  I think you should probably just tow your car to a shop.

                    Is the fan between the engine and radiator or infront of the radiator?

                      This!

                      Let them look at it and find the problem. It will end up being cheaper and faster.

                        The fan is between the engine and radiator. Good or bad?

                          Well its good that the fan is there but I agree you should take it somewhere to get looked at.
