Let's argue about 160 degree thermostats
#88
Just changing thermostats did that. I noticed this a couple years back, which is when I switched. So I suspect it's an age thing (though I'll admit the mechanism remains a mystery to me).
The main part of this thermo has 193 stamped on it. Man, that's way hotter than I'm used to running, it will take a while to get used to the new position for the needle.
I wish I could find a dual stage in the 180* range? I don't know. I'll let you know what I find out.

Bumping old thread
This is my first post on miataturbo. I just bought a black 95 I plan to turbo. My last vehicle was a jeep srt8. The 160 thermostat would only be beneficial if the fan temps were also lowered.
Just changing the thermostat does nothing but prolong the engine from heating up. Combining a 160 degree tstat with the fans kicking on earlier = colder engine temp. This of course, is all assuming an MS can adjust the fans...that will be my first mod.
