Right here: www.rx7club.com/search.php

Search for ' miata thermoswitch part number ' , it's the second link that will show up in your search results. The one that says "Miata thermo switch." Second page has a post by maxpesce with the part number on there.

By the way, why on earth are you living in Japan but not able to speak the language? Try spending half the time on the computer, and twice the time learning Japanese, it will make your life much easier and your stay much more enjoyable.

im like the other thousands of foreignors here not able to speak the language.. does everyone in the states know how to speak English??? How many of the JET teachers come here and not know one word of Japanese, Ive been to a JET party with around 45 jets and they all had learnt their Japanese in the country.

Ive been here for 6 months and in that time ive learnt 2 alphabets and basic conversational Japanese.

anyway back to the topic, thanks for that that.

 

OK good, I thought for a minute that you weren't even trying to learn Japanese, I knew a girl who lived in Japan for almost a year and didn't learn a bit of Japanese, it made me sad. I speak Spanish almost fluently, I wish I didn't need to but it seems that's the direction Southern California is heading. I'm trying to learn Japanese before visiting there if possible. How exactly does that JET stuff work? Can you survive off the pay and still afford to own and race an FD3S?

But I digress. For anyone else who needs that thermoswitch info also, here's the page:
