Now I remember regarding Miatas- early cars had temp gauges that were
accurate. Later Miatas (from '94 up I think) had temp gauges that were
fake, always showed N unless serious overheating was taking place.
Owners of newer cars will convert to accurate temp gauges, but it's a
big project to do it. My Miata is a '91 but the gauge does stay at N
anyway.

All this cooling talk..... Modern cars lie with their gauges. They
are not showing real temps, not even relative temps, they are just
showing N unless there's a problem, then they show H, and likely the
check engine light appears. Very digital in operation. And H to a
modern car is very H in an LBC.... 240 or so. Modern cars would have
many, many emergency phone calls about overheating if you actually
saw the temp, so they don't show it.
