Now I've seen this in several sigs in the club but I haven't the slightest idea what it does performance wise and what is actualy being done on the thermastat. Can someone enlightin me on this?

Click on my sig pic, go to the gallery. You'll see one of my old summer thermostats. You want four 1/16 inch holes. Just inside where the rubber seal sits.

De-burr the holes by hand, twirling a larger drill bit between your fingers, and rinse well.

Thanks

while on the subject would replacing my stock thermostat to a 180f stat improve my cars performance in any way? I plan on making a rice pipe some time this week, due to the fact that now I am forced to drive 34-38 miles every day from home to school then back to home I need to know if this stuff will really help cool my car signifigantly.

yeah....i would suggest it for the summer...but since summer is almost done... stick with your 195 for winter

I use to always see 200'*

Now I only see 200 when traffic is bad.

Now Im always significantly under 200 even in this crappy hot weather. So it does its job

Why would I want to do that? Your talking to a guy who knows nothing else about cars except how they work (basic) and how to make your lawn mower have diffrent speeds and shoot fireballs out... please help a man in need PLEASE EXPLAIN! Thank you.

Im usually about 210-220 some where around there if I am not going faster than 50mph.

well im not sure where u are located, but im assuming that in winter it gets cold...

if you have a 180 thermostat, the car will take a lot longer to get to optimal temp...

i know the 180 is supposed to make your engine run cooler to help save your intake from failing...
