I still contend what you are finding is normal. The dash gauge is inacurate, as you've discovered. The car runs much hotter than we are led to believe and the aftermarket (LN Engineering) offers the 160 T-stat that we dicussed in your earlier post.

I, for one, have already ordered mine and will be installing before the summer heat comes. I want to do everything I can to preserve my engine for the future, but still have fun driving the car.
