Also if you look around on the net you can get direct fit thermo's with varying opening / closing temps.

This is a very BAD idea. Do not run your car with out a thermostat. The engine is design to run at a certain temp range and when you change that to much it will make your car run bad. Your car runs richer when the motor is colder so taking out the thermostat could make you run rich for a longer period of time trying to warm the motor up.
