You could go with a lower temp thermostat and thermoswitch to activate the fans if you prefer, but the car will take a while to warm up in the winter. Cheapest solution at this point is to do a coolant FLUSH and thermostat replacement. There is a lot of junk that can build up in the system and block cooling capability. Check the Townsend site, http://www.townsendimports.com, for the procedure and follow it well. If that doesnt work than you are looking at a new radiator for approx. $200. If you do buy a new one definitely get the aluminum with plastic tanks, NOT copper/brass. I doubt the pump is the problem, because it would begin leaking significantly from its weep hole as a warning that it is about to fail.
