Default Temp guage

Alright so my Cobra's temp gauge usually reads around the "N" on NORMAL. I was just curious to see if it was my gauge so I put my friends GT cluster in and it read the same. I was just wondering where everyone elses car warms upto, and if mine is not reaching operating temp.

thanks

I put a new thermostat in a year or so ago. Even before that the gauge was at the same spot.

If you want to make sure you can have it hooked up to a computer to see, I did.

I was thinking about the temp gauge but if I'm going to be gettin' a gauge might as well get 2 and mount them on my pillar.
