Update

ok so i just replaced the thermostat with a known working one, the thermostat in the overheating svx looked brand new compared to the one i was using from the spare svx i have.

Replaced it and no overheating...yet. continuously put fluid in when needed while the car was running, fans would come on periodically i would then add antifreeze and the fans would kick off. Had the car running for about 45 min and did not overheat at all. I had the rpm's up to 3 - 5k a couple of times to make sure the car wouldn't overheat.

One thing i have a question on is, should the fluid continuously go down without the resevior (coolant by the drivers side firewall) constantly filling it up? And if the fluid IS continuously going down what could this be indicative of?
