i have been runing the same set up for about 1-1/2 years, daily drive 50 miles and at least 20 drift events and countless street sestions with no movement on my stock temp gauge, but lately if i pound it the needle go's up one line above normal and it will drop back to normal if i keep driving normal and not pounding it..could the temp sensor be craping out ..........

set up if it helps

14 inch fal single electric fan
nizmo ther.
50/50 coolant and royal purple ice additive
front mount-but always had fron mount and no problems for 1-1/2 years

The stock temp sensor BLOWS. If it's still coming up/going down, it's not broken though. But seriously, get a real temp gauge.

but what could be the heating problem. could air have some how crept in to the system after the years..in any case i will bleed it again for the hell of it..

bleed it and get a real gauge. Stock gauge is very vauge, temp could fluctuate and the needle wont even move.
