it might not be too helpful in cooler months but i've been contemplating a thermostat swap for mine for a while. other than that, i would like to take control over the fans and crank them on at a lower coolant temp but that requires uprev.

my quest to find a coolant temp sensor that had different scaling was futile also.
even if i found a suitable one, the sensor is in a very awkward spot to reach. easier to wire up a switch to kick the relays on

Because it will take the car too long to warm up and the water temps will fall too quickly and you'll get a CEL
