Review on 🏎️ Mishimoto MMTS-RX8-04L Racing Thermostat for Mazda RX-8 2004-2011: Enhanced Performance and Compatibility by Nolan White

Revainrating 1 out of 5

This thermostat broke into several pieces within 2 months of purchase.

I installed this and may have seen better prices for a few weeks. then, after installing a few other parts, I was tracking cooling issues and didn't check that thermostat because "well, I paid $50 for a new thermostat less than 3 months ago, that couldn't be." I still have never seen a thermostat break so easily but I will never buy a Mishimoto part again. Almost wrecked my GD engine, man. Good thing I'm monitoring the temps on my own gauge (if you're a new rx8 owner and don't realize the stock gauge is pretty much useless. If it's exceeded normal operating temp you already have 235C and probably leading to engine damage.)
