The thermoswitch is the thermal switch that turns the fans on. There is a thread about using an FC (2nd gen) switch in the FD (3rd gen) to lower the temperature when the fans turn on in the stickies.
The stock thermostat is the best one. It opens around 180F. Contact Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda (888-533-3400) for great prices and service if you need a new one (or any other OE RX-7 parts).

Credit Dale Clark for this one!

Yeah...
About 2 weeks before I knew this I installed the Miata switch in my FD.

Same here, but about two month after I changed mine. Still, it's a VERY worthwhile mod.
