Adequate operating water temp

So I have a bone stock D15 and lately I've been reaching 91 degrees celcius. Usually it stays around 89. Is this still an exceptable temp to reach? Or should I start to worry?

I want to say 89, but I honestly do not remember. Whatever autozone gives out.

I had a d15 as well and stock thermo was a 180 degree. Your talking celsius so stock should be 82/83. 89/91 sounds a bit high for the car. Bad thermo/wrong thermo maybe?

See, if I floor it and hit ~7000 RPMs it drops to 79 degrees.

I'd say replace the thermo if its a big issue to you. $15-20 and an easy fix if you know what your doing.
