but the thermostat's availiable anywhere are an 88 and 92 degree stat's iirc. So it wouldnt do anything anyway! You 100% you dont mean the 82 degree c THERMOSTAT that msd do?

Burton's might do them too mate not sure, but 100% msd do tbh i swapped the 92 to the 88 and it did make a difference. But frst's and traffic do not mix well

wouldnt know mate, first i've heard of 1. tbh i'm not 100% sure at what temp the fan would kick in? Unless you'd fuck the temp switch off and do it manualy which is shit. And it would take longer to get upto temp to give it some. I'd try the 82 first
