Default Best Summer Mods

I just Finished working on my Stook last night, I Flushed the entire cooling system replaced my Thermostat with a low-temp 68C Mugen unit, a Mugen Fan Switch, the Mugen Rad cap and Samco hoses then Re-filled with Honda type2 colant (blue) I've noticed my car runs very smooth compared to before all throughout the rpm band, Also my temp gauge stays at 7bars (8 stock) and goes to 8 only under WOT runs. If anyone else has this setup vouch for me it's worth it i'm very happy with the results. -Vito

Your temp gauge goes up to 7 bars normally? That's really high, mine has never even touched 4.

I have used them in the past and I did not notice anything other than the car running cooler.

On the plus side cooler temps should help the motor last longer

It might be wishful thinking but who cares? Anything that makes us feel better about our car is absolutly worth while.
The simple act of changing my oil makes me feel good because I know I did something good for my car.
