well, i just put a new thermostat on my b16 right before i put it into the hatchback and upon closer examination the original thermostat had scratches along the inside column. the scratch was in the shape of a "u" and seemed to have been the result of some interference that was occuring when the thermostat was open, or opening further. just wanted to know if anyone else has seen this type of failure with a thermostat.

also, i'm looking for a vafc, apexi n1 catback exhaust (they're on backorder everywhere), jdm guage cluster for a 5th gen civic, and a good deal on coilovers, either skunk2 or ground control.

all for a 5th gen hatchback.

thanks, chet.

 

i have a vafc for sale.......
