I've got a Mugen thermostat, fan switch and Rad cap. Paid too much for them, but the temps now are in the 170-190 range no matter how hot it gets.

Before I had coolant temps at 210 in traffic on 100F days.

I have the Mugen thermostat, thermoswitch, rad cap, and hondata gasket. Cruising on the freeway around 70 shows temps around 165-170. I have a vented hood also.

That has nothing to do with the engine's cooling system. It's a larger heat exchanger/radiator for the aftercoolers seperate coolant supply.

Most are purchased for the "bling" effect. It looks like a front mount intercooler, common with a turbocharger.

Are you just looking to spend money? If a car is running cool enough (in the right range) then nothing you buy will improve it.

Spoon Thermoswitch, Spoon Radiator Cap, Spoon Radiator Hoses, Hondata Intake Manifold Gasket.

Had a Spoon Thermostat, but my tuner actually asked me to take it out before tuning the EMS. I can not remember his exact reasoning as it was quite a few months ago.

A larger radiator is only going to help if you track the car. Turbo and SC cars run normal temps for street driving. Track use sees both coolant an oil temps increase. You need to see what the operating temps are before trying to fix what isn't broken.

If you're going to track the car, look into a oil cooler as well.
