i agree with you on cars with very basic features. some don't even have airconditioning to lower the cost and increase fuel efficiency. but removing the thermostat contradicts the idea of saving a few cents. check the thread about "no thermostat" on the honda threads and maybe this will enlighten you and somewhat educate you as to why the engineers responsible of designing the engine installed this what you call "unnecessary" component

leave the thermostat alone unless it's defective. similar to the joke: 'nay nabal-an ko si tatay kuno way man tuli". mom: ay, tama gid na noy, hindi man naton gina otro ang gina obra sang diyos"
