Running Hot?
#1
Lately I've noticed I've been running kind of hot. I used to run around 83-85 but that has risen to 85-87. Then the yesterday day I was doing a little carving(not too hard really) and noticed I had shot up to 95 It stayed there till I got on a straight away. Then dropped to 86 after a couple of minutes.
Is this normal? Can I stop or prevent it?
I have an AST, Fluidyne and I just had the radiator flushed and put in about 3/4 bottle of wetter. The guy who had the car before me did some kind of mod with the fans where the wires run to a thermostat under the hood.

Yeah I thought about the change in weather but the temps were lower last summer. Besides it's not the cruising temps that worry me it was the **** jumping to 95c
Radiator is in the stock location. With stock intercooler.
So if these temps are normal:
a) Is there a way to bring them down?
b) When should I start to worry?

mine is usually around 87c, almost no matter the driving. i was also a little freaked out about the temps one day when it rose to 98c for a few minutes, under LOW stress conditions! i got freaked out again when my friends told me water boils at like 100c or something (i dunno if they're right, im not a scientist, nor are they), but i dont care, car runs fine and temps dropped back to my normal range.
