Why you are ordering low temp. I don't think that your car gets very hot, if you intsall low temp fan switch this means that your fan will be working a lot.

seriously dude, if he wants to hook an afterburner up he should do it without net-nanny's or keyboard warriors questioning him.
Why you don't just install 160 thermostat and keep the fan stock. I think the fan will work more often if you lower the fan temp, and that's for sure.

Yes I understand what you are saying. I mean if you install the 160 fan that means the fan will work more often than if the you have the 180 because of the low temp the 160 and the car needs to cool all the time. My friend have done it before in his car and he told me that it wron his fan fast, and the fan was most ofthe time on because of the hot weather. Will I might be wrong. Can you take photos of the temp reading after the lower temp fan. You said that in traffic it hits 212F I thought it will go down to 180 with the fan, so why it's high are the fan working or not.

What about making the AC fan work with the Radiator fan together. Have done it in my old car as it was heating. You can also have vents in you hood that will help cool the engine.
who cares about the thermo switch...i want turbo!
I think Honda didn't include a temperature guage because the normal operating temperature would be regarded as too hot by a lot of people.
When the Honda VFR800 bike was released with side mounted radiators and supporting thermo fans its LCD display included a temperature guage. A lot of owners were concerned about the high temperatures so much so some went as far as selling the bike or at least repeated visits to the dealer insisting there was a problem. Had Honda just put a hot and cold light in like the Jazz there would have been no issues.
Jus reckon a supercharger would be better. The Eaton seems to mate well to most Hondas - Civics, etc. Would give it boost low to midrange and not just top end. Blowers don't get turbo lag probs.
It's strange that Honda will make that, but I think in my City the radiator is bigger than the Jazz it'a all the way to the front grill but I think in Jazz it's only half the size.
