RE: runnin no thermostat
dont do it. the colling system is designed to have the thermostat in it. it's a designed blockage. plus the car will take forever to heat up and might not heat up at all.. not running a t-stat is retarded.

Definitely bad idea, wont be able to drive far, it will mess stuff up.

RE: runnin no thermostat
The thermostat lets the water sit in the rad so it has time to cool off. With no thermostat the water will keep moving through without cooling good and on hot days it will keep heating up until you overheat. That is also the problem if you run too cool of a thermostat.
