I didn't spot this thread till now, but it's perfectly normal for the temp to rise when the car is sitting still - if there's no air flowing through the radiator it's bound to happen. If the fans are taking too long to turn on then you might need a new fan switch in the radiator.

Yes, it is normal for temperatures to rise under the hood, but NOT for it to be verified by the Stock needle. It should remain at just under 9:00 (8:45 for me..) until things get super hot, then it shoots upwards to H (Check that linerization FAQ).
Same with the fans, in stock condition, they come on at a really hot temperature, unless you have a switch fab'd in there or you run A/C (with or without the Relay as a trick).

The radiator fan switch is totally independant of the thermostat - If it's not working or activating the fans too late the needle will continue to rise until the fans are turned on ie. what this guy is experiencing.

Correct. That's why I recommended he consider a Miata or FC thermoswitch earlier in the thread. But it could be alot of things or a combination of things causing it. I just think that unless he asked PFS to just re-wire the fans, it was irresponsible for them to do it without trying to find out why he's running hot.
