I did a quick write up on how you can creat more space in you engine bay by taking out the big washer reservoir and only using the rear one. (if you have a rear one)

http://www.geocities.com/dj_child/

I will do a better write up when I get the time. Better pics and directions.

Good idea!

Yeah, pretty good idea. I just ripped out the nasty big stock one and put a smaller one in(about 1 liter), holds enough for me cause I dont drive the car often, expecially on marginal weather days.. but shit happens, hehe

WOW the red cars reply

I don't have a rear one so that sucks for me!

Why add the weight? You just keep adding things to your car michael, I'll keep stripping them off and we'll see who is faster.

Don't worry, you're not missing out on much. I hardly ever use my rear one. In fact, I hardly ever use my front ones (since it just gets my entire car even more dirty. For weight reduction, just take both of them out. I also like the idea of using a smaller 1 liter reservoir since I use mine maybe once every couple months. That is a very nice writeup though, and sounds like a really cool thing to do if you are willing to put some work into it (I'm too lazy hehe)

i took mine out when i first got my car.. well because they didnt work anyhow.. was all clogged up. so i just ripped it out.. so much nicer with out it.. plus withthe Cfhood whats the point..

hey kyle if you take your brakes off you will lose tons of weight man.. hehe..

hoping i can u my damn hood soon so i can save u 22more lbs

I love dino and 2gnt. ####ers (my word) bliz stole it but i let him borrow it

That's a damn good idea.

I'll add it to the MODs page. I'm probably going to do this.. i took my reserviour out of the engine bay, but would still like to have my nozzles working just in case..

Excellent work!

Ya, a lot of people don't even use theirs. In that case I would just take it out as well. It makes a lot of room w/o it in. But I live in Denver and it snows a lot. That w/ the gravel they put down it makes hard to see if you don't have one. Some times I would empty the reservoir in one day. I need the room in my engine bay and still wanted to have the washers. The rear one is about 1/2 the size so at least it takes out some weight.

Thanks for the feedback.

good idea man!

ya, good writeup. i was gunna take mine out when i installed my c/f hood since i didnt put nozzles on the hood. figured id wait til i was bored.

do u know if the light flips on (due to low resevoir levels, or not havin the sensor connected) after ditchin the whole front tank??

i farted on your wiki

Hey just one... where you at in Denver?? Cuz it hasnt hardly snowed here this year I guess my question is what would the advantages be?? I mean how much could that resevoir really weigh? I hardly use mine here in DENVER so its seems feasable, but I'd need to see some more positives for doing so before Im going to put in the time/effort.

exactly.

brian......you have too much time on your hands, son.

>Hey just one... where you at in Denver??

Lakewood so does Jen and Cody from this board.

>Cuz it hasnt hardly snowed here this year

So far, I hope it stays that way.

>I guess my question is what would the
>advantages be??

A place to mount your FRP or anything else, but still keep the washers.

>I mean how much could
>that resevoir really weigh?

Full maybe 10 lbs.?? This is NOT a performance mod. It is a space saving mod. The weight being gone is just a (small) plus. You’re reading into it too far. It was done by me just to make some room. Nothing more nothing less.

Well when you need room this little write up might help.
Time and effort are what set me apart. This was just a write up done for the heck of it.
