So David and I were debating on whether I should take out my windshield washer reservoir or not. I want to do it to clean up my engine bay and so that I can get some weight reduction. He says not to do it because I need it to spray my window.


My CF hood didnt' even come with nozzles/squirters so even if I did keep it, that means that I would have to drill some holes or put the squirters elsewhere. What do you guys think?

I suffered one time in the winter when my washer reservoir ran out of fluid. I had to pull over, throw some snow on it and wait til the snow melted some before I could use my wipers to clean the windshield.

you count removing a plastic resevoir that, with pump, couldn't possibly weigh more than 1 pound as weight reduction? if it's the weight of fluid you're worried about, drain your oil and save over 10 pounds :cool:

Bad idea, keep it in there.

Hmm, I had 0.1's at the Test & Tune I went to, but I really don't give a shit about drag racing anyway.

Dammit, I just voted but I voted wrong. Since the question was should I remove my res I said no, but after reading it the no was actually the yes. WTF.

Quit changing the question.

Anyways, the thing weighs like a pound. Take a lug off each wheel or something instead. :)

I have a windshield reservoir for a 5th gen Civic for sale if some ricer removed his and threw it out expecting to gain 2 mph in his trap speed and now wants to be able to see where he's going - $10.

I thought it would weigh mroe then that but alright.

So now I have to drill even more holes...How retarded, this car hates me.

How much of a difference is a little blue topped bottle in your bay going to "clean it up" ?

There are TONS of other ways to clean up your bay NTM safer ways than not being able to clean your windshield.

Man, I really wish I had my video camera running when that happened. I can't even describe how funny it was to see you swerve all over the place and have a racoon come tumbling out the back at 60 mph. And he was still alive and moving his feet around while tumbling after you at a pretty good speed. Sounds horrible but I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

you would of swerved too, that thing was fawking huge and he kept going to same place I was swerving :D

Who honked when I did that? I thought I might of cut somebody off but nobody was near me :confused:
