Mazmart's New Product ! Lower Temp Thermostat !
Story : I should've got this on Monday or so. but then stupid *** USPS decided that instead of ringing my door bell for me to pick it up, he/she should "throw" the box into my front yard(Its locked but ... still)
then the snowstorm came and covered it up ...
Went to my front yard this morning cuz snow finally melt, then I noticed this box in the middle of my front yard.
I was like hmm wtf? in snow? whats in it ?(cuz Paul/Sheldon never told me whats in the package :P)
Then I opened it :
O_o
This is da boooooooooomb
The top of the Thermostat read "76 degrees Celsius", so I suppose its Initial-opening is 76 Celsius/168.8 degrees Fahrenheit(need to confirm with Paul/Sheldon)
Stock Initial-opening is 80-84 Celsius/176-183 Fahrenheit.
I hope I can install this tomorrow, 30% chance of rain ... it might not rain, right?
Thanks to Mazmart for letting me to test this new product (I am a lab rat now ... )
P.S. : Picture taken from my Camera Phone, Xperia X1 rox baby !

The reason for the RE-medy thermostat
The purpose of this thermostat is primarily to change the range of the 'Gatekeeper'. That's basically what your thermostat does; when the set temperatures are achieved the gatekeeper re-directs the flow of water (Or whatever liquid heat transferring agent) from the by-pass (Where it keeps circulating in the block avoiding the radiator) to the radiator for exposure to air, where it is able to ditch some of it's unwanted heat.
I refer to it as the gatekeeper because: It doesn't matter how good our water pump is or how good your radiator is if this control mechanism keeps trying to achieve 200 plus degF . If the gatekeeper sees 184 deg it starts going "Whoa, hold up, things are getting to cool around here!" and starts to close the radiator passage while opening the bypass.
Our unit is intended to begin opening at 169 degF and be full open at least 10 deg lower than stock. Our unit has a better transition as well in terms of how much area is open when the bypass is completely closed. The stock version is less than optimal in this regard.
Ultimately, the thermostat cannot stop a catastrophic overheat nor can it make up for other deficiencies (Bad or in-efficient water pump, poorly sealing cap,wrong cap pressure, low fluid levels, improper ccolant to water ratios, in-sufficient radiator surface area exposure, inop cooling fan/s etc) but it's a very important piece in the puzzle of creating a better cooling environment. On a really hot day if there is the potential for your cooling capabilities to be maxed out, then a lower range thermostat will delay that possibility. Essentially it is helping to maximize the effectiveness of other positive things you may do or have done; like a better water pump, a better radiator, better airflow, modified fan temps etc.
It's all synergy folks.

Its raining ... T_T 
God damn it man ... I was about to take stuff apart then the rain decided to fall from the sky ... I am still on my winter tires I wanna change them out (too soft for regular temp use) ... Guess not
I WANT TO INSTALL IT ! ARGH ! STOP RAINING ALREADDDDY !
