    Operating Temp Question

    My old T stat was sticking open, so I replaced my T stat with one I had here in the shop. The one I installed is a 79 deg, and the car runs in between half and the next mark down, towards the cold side. Is that warm enough?

    God damn my cluster is dirty haha.

      You are an idiot as almost all on this forum.
      But given the geographic location, it's understandable.

                    Of course, my idiot.
                    Why would I not?
                    Next time you post such a revelation of yours, first check what E30 and M20 is about and then go straight ahead.

                      why are you so angry?

                      different countries got different thermostats, there are 3 temps available for the M20. 71, 75, and 80c.

                          I'm guessing sarcasm isn't your strong suit.

                          Also, I didn't post an "revelations," it was a question lol

                          you're not going to troll me into arguing with you about why I asked about optimal engine operating temps.

                            glen, this dude is just trolling. Don't worry about him.

                            I've called him out numerous times on his BS and he's trying to turn the tables or something...

                              Nope, not a coyote. Maybe a dragon... I like dragons.
