I'd like to ask something about engine temp. My EU MX-3 K8's temperature is about 95 C, initial opening temp is 84 C, which is about 180 F if I am right. My temp gauge's needle shows somewhere in 5/8th of the scale. I noticed many of you have this needle below 1/2 of the scale, so probably most of you have 170 F thermostat instead of 180 F, which I have.
My question is.. what would happen if I replace my 180 thermostat with 170 one. It seems my engine runs better when it is not as hot as usual, when it has full engine temp (all EU models have this temp), it seems like it is more lazy and I am worried to go over 4k rpm.
