I've never worked on/near an engine before, so I have no idea where the thermostat is. I want to replace mine with a 180* in the next few weeks (to go with the fan switch I'm putting in) and wanted to know what to do. If someone could post a link to pictures with arrows or cirled areas, that'd be great. Oh yeah, and the more detailed instructions the better (all I've read are "remove the bolts holding it on, remove t-stat, replace with new t-stat, replace bolts." Even though it probably is that simple, humor me [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

I tried to get one about a year ago and it said it was only good through 2000, of course, now that I know more and think about it that should work with my car too. The only things they changed from 2000-2002 I can think of are the wheels and exhaust manifolds (or is there some reason that manual wouldn't work for my car?). I guess I'll call around and see if Auto Zone has it or another auto shop.Originally posted by Dojo2000:

And also:
I saw the review, but I didn't see any pics of where it goes. Maybe I missed a link in there.Originally posted by memphis_raines:

You should check to make sure that already isn't a 180°. I tried a 160° but I kept throwing codes so I put the 180° back in.Zaino; FireBatCave Decals; Red Inside<br /><br />K&N Filter & Lid; Removed MAF screen; FRA; Raised Air Box; 180°F Stat; BMR STB; 3\" Catco & S-pipe; Borla Cat-Back; O2 Sim; HPPIII; NGK TR55s; Taylor 8mm wires<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/cbass300\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/id/cbass300</a>Comment
