Colder thermostat for 5th gen ludes and aftermrkt plug wires
I heard Spoon Sports makes colder thermostates, do any other companies make them for 5th gens.
Also, I am replacing my plugs, should I keep the stock plug wires or go aftermarket like Magnacore or MSD?

Replace your plug wires about every 50K.. The stock honda ignitions are great, so your not gonna gain much, if anything from aftermarket wires..
Spoon and maybe Mugen are the only ones i know of that make the coller thermostats..

Yes, they do..
Spoon makes both a low-temp thermostate and high pressure radiator cap[said to increase cooling effiecnecy by 50%!?] Anyway, here is a picture of each...
Thermostat:
Radiator Cap:
One thing to note, if you use the low temp thermostat, your car may never fully "warm-up" hence youll run a little rich all the time, which, if you have a cat, may foul your cat and plugs. Also, stick strictly w/ oem ignition components, use only NGK or DENSO components!
