Runs hotter at higher speeds
Hey guys, I've been having a problem for a lil bit now, figured I'd ask for your advice.:
My TII runs fine in town and never see's temps above 1/4 on the stock gauge. I get on the highway and I'll see temps 1/4 to just above 1/2 sometimes(that's where I letoff, on a top speed run it got a bit hotter before I shut it down). The temp climbs so damn fast too, I could be doing 50km/hr and then peg it to 130 and the temp gauge would be just above 1/2 and would stay there if i didn't slow down.
Could it be my thermostat? FMIC? Need to flush the rad(via fc3s-pro's writeup?). My missing big plastic thing that goes underneith my engine?

I've got the big one laying around. I'm also gonna make a air duct from the bottom of my front bumper to my rad cause I got nothing there reflecting any air(is this normal?).
