so i sold my 95 ej1(gsr) and i got me a 98 integra with 215*** rides like a champ but it just gets up to temp quick like in the morning, and during the day it drives like its retarted, just slugish and the a/c turns worm when ideling i plan on changeing the head gasket,timing belt and water pump by the way the car is fully stock

 

do a tune up. plugs, wires, even ignition coils if need be. tend to any check engine lights. i would replace the thermostat. its only a couple bucks and is probably where you should anytime you're running hot and still have coolant in your cooling system.

 

and it has a cxracing raditor witch i think wont let it over heat

 

if the thermostat is not letting coolant recirculate through the radiator, then the huge radiator is essentially doing nothing for the car. trust me buddy.
