When you are driveing there is a shit load of air running through your radiator wich would make it cooler.

My car does the same thing. same kind of car.

Are you running only water in your radiator i noticed mine doing it when i use only water no antfreeze or waterwetter.

just water = bad

actually a faulty thermostate can cause overcooling problems. does it seem like it takes a long time for you car to warm up?

change the thermostat and run a toggle switch to your fan to run it when you want
