resently when ive been driving my 12v, it just doesnt get hot!

the temp gauge used to sit one notch above 90, but now it just simmers above 90(just) and doesnt get any hotter when driving, so the engine feels like when at cold start up for ages. I know it cold, but sireley it should cool it that much

any ideas?

yeah made a custom intake from the grille to the air box, taking out the bends in the pipe that the standard one has. easy to do.

yeah cos it won't allow ur engine to warm up properly so oil etc wont be at correct opearting temp so damage may occur. From the sound sof it though its running fine. Its just the cold weather
