Thanks. I have never replaced the thermostat.

I suggest you replace that before you replace the radiator. You may find that your car runs cooler as a result of a new thermostat. I say you go with a new Honda thermostat.

Vpuppy. Thanks. I will try it. I noticed that it ran hotter after I changed the radiator years ago so I assumed it was that. The thermosat will save some money as compared to changing the radiator.

Thanks,
Kevin

I bet I can get a honda thermostat cheaper than an acura. I wonder if a civic thermostat will fit?

Does the koyo cool as good as the OEM? My temp. guage use to sit at 1/4 of the way from the left and now it is sitting 1/3 of the way from the left with a cheap radiator. I guess it is running 15 - 20 degrees hotter? So I want to change it when I change the water pump.

My temp gauge is at 1/4 also. It's as good as OEM IMO. If you do order it, make sure you order Showa.

Ya, if your on the original one, you should replace it. Visit this web site and do a parts search for your car and you can get the part number for the thermostat http://www.acuraparts247.com/

Then take that number to Honda, and you should be able to get one. I am pretty sure a civic SI thermostat is the same thing.
