Ok so i am gonna be replacing my water pump very soon (not because i need to but because im pretty sure it has the original pump on the 12A from factory!) Anyways that is not my question here. In addition to changing the water pump i am going to install new belts, new radiator and defefinetly the thermostat. Well i am on autozone.com and i am tryng to see what the prices are on a thermostat. Well all these different kinds came up ( http://autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker...C%7ETHERMOSTAT ) HIGH TEMP, MED TEMP and LOW TEMP. SO which one should i buy??? My car is all stock 82 GS. Thank guys for any help you can give me.

 

non of them go to mazda and get a mazda t-stat or get with Robert and get this 160* t-stat at the bottom of the page http://rotaryshack.com/Products/Misc.asp?intView=100

 

So im assuming this t-stat (the 160* one) will fit in my 12A?

 

im pretty sure it will im sure if you talk to Robert he could fill ya in better than me.

 

Get one from your local Mazda dealer or Mazdatrix. Only use factory thermostats.

 

When I replaced mine I bought it at Autozone, a 180 degree one. With that and a new radiator my temp would never go above 1/3rd of the dial, whether in traffic or at a 110 mph.

 

the one i sell is a stant thermostat.. good quality piece.. fits any rx7 up to 93

 

OEM only all the way, any other one including ones posted cause temp spikes. Just use OEM.
