Default Low Temp Termostat

Does anybody out there know where I can find a low temperature thermostat for a 94-97 accord (f22b engine)? Stock temp fully open is about 194F and I'd like to lower this about 10 or 15 degrees. Thanks.

if you are trying to get your car to run cooler, you will also need to replace the coolant temperature switch - which they usually don't make in different temps, but you can check. your car is still going to run about the same temp, even if you put a cooler thermostat in it. it may sound weird, but that is pretty much how it works. the thermostat regulates the temp of the coolant that goes through the block, and the coolant temp switch tells the radiator fan when to kick on and cool down the coolant. so, if you put in a 180 degree thermostat and the coolant temp switch is 195 or 200, then the coolant will still be that warm running through everything and your thermostat will most likely be closed a lot of times instead of letting the coolant to the block. bla bla bla, i think you get the point. sorry.

I guess I put the wrong words out there, sorry. What I meant to say is I don't know how my thermostat works (except good).
