hahahh i was guna throw mine out cause i didnt wanna spray dirty crap on my windshield.. HOWEVErrr ive started experimenting moving the line to my intercooler and make it spray on it..

orr

you can use it as a tank to hold meth all you need is the pump and jet..

unless you are really trying to save weight it might be worth leaving on, who knows what you might do with it later on

I threw mine in the stock parts pile in the garage. I couldn't find a good place to mount my meth tank though so I ended up putting it back on the car last weekend. I would hold onto it incase you ever decide to run meth.

I also use mine for Meth. Not sure if it is going to fit with the new setup though!

you can keep the tank you just have to mount the intercooler correctly so that everything fits. What most do and what i say is chop the middle section or take off the reinforcement bar. Its eaither that or you can just mount the intercooler right in front of the bar but it will be tight. Just my .02

If I didn't need the wipers to pass the stupid safety inspection we have I would take them off. I refuse to drive the car in the rain anyway so there is no point in having the wipers.

I also wash the car just about every time I take it out so not being able to spray washer fluid really isn't an issue. I can see how it would be annoying for people that daily drive their cars but unless it is a very basic FI setup, I would hope that most people with an FI car have some other means of transportation.
