Alright Guys,

My EK9 temp is half way after 1-2 minutes of driving. It never rises above half way but Im just wondering if the previous owner in Japan has fiddled with the thermostat?

Mine hasnt been fiddled with and it takes a fair while to get there.
 
takes a few mins while getting it out the garage plus about a mile and a half of low rpm driving and its at just below half,
so a bit longer than 2 mins.
 
There is also 3 marks on the dash where it looks like various gauges / maybe a taco was mounted. Im thinking this car had some serious changes before coming to the UK. The drivers side front wing is also a slightly different colour than the rest of the car. Its very slight but is noticable.
 
Yeh the B-series takes ages to heat up... K-series takes 1-2min very fast! Its a big improvement over B-series.. also means less wear and tear..

Choice of oil grade viscosity really benefits here...
