ill try greenline...maybe they can get one for me

shane wouldnt drilling holes in the thermostat not work? I was under the impression that leaving a 1JZ thermostat open will result in coolant not actually flowing to the correct regions of the motor as when you gut one its like leaving it closed???

or am I mistaken?

Can't Penrith Toyota get them pretty easily?

Otherwise, there was some guy on my MSN who is some "trd rep" or something

Failing that Castle Hill Toyota might be able to source one for you.

What about an upgraded radiator? It might help with the 120 degree problem somewhat. When I got my car someone has actually gutted the core out of the thermostat in my car! What tipped me off was the fact that it took forever to come up to operating temp.
