For what it's worth, in California "winter" (aka 70F) the coolant temp needle takes forever to finally move past 1/4 of the way after the "C" on my MR2 with the same engine, and I have the grill blocked 75%. Torque tells me the temperature sits at ~75-80C and slowly rises from there if the car is not really moving. Now add 20C for hot summer temps, I think you'll be okay.
