You might have a low temperature thermostat that is used for racing, which opens at 68 degree. If that is the case, it will take longer for the temp. to rise because the engine is intended to be kept as cool as possible.

That's how I was told. If I am wrong, feel free to correct me.

but the thing is....it doesn't rise at all, even when i drove it for a good half hr non stop

Then it could be a faulty thermostat. Might as well change it to a racing type

68 sounds way too cold, doesnt it?? go with OEM IMO

rjngo

get oem...they always works the best

Mugen, Spoon... etc sells the low temp thermostat.

Check to see if your temperature sending unit is working properly. It is located in the thermostat housing itself.
Does the cooling fan come on at all?
