marcucci has some pics on the location of the thermostat and the switch. Still no official guide yet

It's a pain in the ass to install the thermostat. You can get to both of the bolts from the bottom of the car (driver's side), though the top bolt is a liitle more difficult to reach. You'll need an extension for your socket wrench and a lot of patience. Make sure you drain the coolant first otherwise you'll get splashed with coolant when removing the thermostat.

I'll post a "How to" this weekend when I get some time if no one has answered your question by then. I may use some of marcucci's pics (if its ok with him) as some angles turned out better than mine.
Overall its not that bad and should only take about 1-1.5 hours. The trick is bleeding the coolant system once the t-stat and fan switch are installed.

Thanks for the help, I was going to say, since there is really no tutorial, I would be glad to take a lot of pics and do a write up once I get the info I need to do the install. I am thinking I have enough info built up to do the install, but want to read up a little more before I do. I will propably end up doing it on Sunday, as my car will be in Hot Import Nights Friday and Saturday.
