Re: spoon thermostat and thermoswitch.... (nekkedR)
i have both on my car with the stock radiator
my temp needle does not go past the 1/4 mark...
during winter driving it dips below that...but my R is not a daily driver so it doesn't concern me too much...

The thermostat is too cold for daily driving IMO. The fan switch is fine. I recommend the Mugen thermostat with the spoon/mugen thermoswitch.

Re: spoon thermostat and thermoswitch.... (sneakychaos)
The answer is a simple one; you want the engine to be running at the normal operating temperature. No lower, no higher.
Monitor your engine temps and if they are too high then upgrade the cooling system. If not, don't worry about it.
