Any tips besides removing the CAI, and MAF ??

PS.. I searched :metal:

All i can say is have fun with that.
I dint silicone anything...or lube anything.
Theres is a HOW TO somewhere, i dont remember where though.

I did mine and it actually wasn't that bad it took like an hour from start until i finished cleaning up the shop. Coupe is right you don't need any silicone or anything.

You dont need any silicone, the T-stat comes with a gasket built onto it.

Nice.. My Air Box is gone already so Im hoping for a semi quick install... Thnks..

If you can't find the how-to.. the bottom nut is slotted, you don't have to take it out all the way.

Enjoy :)

Yes, and DONT take it out all the way, it makes it so much easyer

[twisted]

from all the mods ive done on the ga the worst was the t stat lol

[coupe]

It was easy when we did it, but of course it was easy when ya dont have an exhuast manifold in your way.

[NorKoastal]

Im trying to avoid that (exhaust manifold removal).. So the bottom nut needs only to be loosened.. Thanks Seth

With the t-stat...... You know how the part that sticks towards the drivers fender, Did yall install it where the metal was straight up or parallel with the ground. I put mine in straight it and i am thinking that is my problem with the car getting warm. HHMM

Anyone know anything about that?

I know it seems hard to understand but once you look at the STAT you will see what i am talking about.

Ok I'm planning on replacing my thermostat with the 180 thermostat this weekend, and I have a question. I looked at those instructions but they dont make a whole lotta sense to me. Where exactly is the thermostat located? I am not at all mechanically inclined...well maybe a little bit.

You sure you wanna do this on your own?
Look under your TB area, you cant miss it.

[slick_willy182]

lol. Yes I want to do this on my own. Cheaper then getting someone else to do it. So I have to remove the TB to get at it?

[coupe]

No you dont have to remove it.
Its just a tight fit trying to get to it.
