only thing your gonna do is waste gas becuase the ECU will never get out of cold start loop......

no, don't buy that shit.

go to the parts store and ask for a colder one, not sure what the stock one is but you can get one 10 degrees cooler, but the main question is what the hell is the point? is your car overheating?

well on the race track.. ur car heats up faster and is at a constant operating temp.. the lower temp thermostat opens up earlier to let the coolant start flowing and cool down etc.. the thermoswitch lowers the temp at which the fan operates to cool down the radiator

so unless ur racing its no point or ur in a hot climate

as transzex said its a waste of fuel since ur in cold start mode longer...

once up to speed, it's all open so it's not gonna matter.

Money better spent on a GOOD oil cooler setup.

$6 Autozone 170 t-stat and a $2 SPST switch from Radio shack is all you need.
