Sorry in advance for the noob question - new ap2 owner - but is it normal for the s2000s engine bay get naturally hotter than most cars? It definitely hotter than the last 4 cars ive owned. I'm popping the hood after short 15 min drives without going past 6k rpm and its almost steaming even in today's cooler weather. The temperature gauge consistently hovers at around 8ish out of 20? Bars
Edit: I should add I've put in a sound/vibration absorbent layer under the hood liner. I've read some ppl reporting their gauges never going above 3 bars while the consensus is that the s2000 does run hotter.

Kinda wanna sell my GSR to grow up a little and get another TSX... I kinda miss how comfy and boring it was, LOL.
But at the same time I feel like I should keep the GSR to be fiscally responsible, because the TSX I want is 7k and I'll be lucky to get 4k for the GSR - the difference is pretty much 75% or more of a paint job for the S2k.
