Will a lower tempeture racing thermostat reduce engine temps ?
or just make it take a little more time to get hot?
and will it work good together with a lower temp fan switch?

Yes, you have to get all three for it it to be effective otherwise the fans will come on when they shouldnt and the coolant wont be properly pressurized.

also, get a 1.3 lb rad cap at vato-zone. its cheaper than the mugen and it does the same shiz

buy civic's turbo kit, then you get power and cooling. All the $ spent on this little crap adds up. Just save it up and do something big.

I'm doing all the little things I can think of(extra money permiting).
Althou I've been pricing transmissions and looking for engine pieces.

I made my car payment today and I'm down to $960 left to pay on the car.
when it's payed, I will be getting another car/suv or dumping some serious money into the cl.

and while you are doing those cooling mods, i think you should also rebuild your whole motor, so all the clearances are correct at said temp
(and don't forget the ecu program optimize it to how it would run now
