Any one know where this is located? How to change it out?

I am guessing...

Just follow the lower radiator hose into the block - where the hose
meets the block is the thermostat.... (but then again, I'm basing this
off other cars that I have experience with)...

Replacement usually involves, draining the coolant from the radiator,
removing the old one (the housing is usually bolted on).. replace with
new, replace hose (if necessary), refill coolant and purge the coolings
system of any air.

Yep, that pretty much covers it.  However, the thermostat housing requires a
liquid gasket, and obviously needs to be re-"installed" when re-installing
the housing.  Make sure to use a torque wrench when installing.

Why do you need to change the 'stat?  What are your symptoms?

How many miles since you changed the timing belt?

These are important questions, so let us know.
