I ordered the wiper kit from FFR, but I assume that it doesn't address the issue of fluid. Has anyone installed the washer fluid reservoir and sprayer? Any pictures or advice would be great.

If you're using wipers but won't be installing the sprayer, how are you going to clean your windshield?

I'm assuming you're not doing this for inspection reasons.

My car will be a nice day/track driver. In day to day driving I don't really think the sprayer is necessary. If the windshield gets really buggy then I can clean it when I fill up next. Otherwise the sprayer (to me) is only really necessary in winter when you get the salt/snow spray.

Do you really want a spray with a open top car?

I ordered this but haven't installed it yet.

Seems decent and small enough to mount anywhere. It comes with everything you will need and its cheap.

I'm going to install this "ACI 99300 Windshield Washer Pump" from amazon.com I don't plan on keeping it my wipers on much after inspection. I'll probably re-purpose the tank sprayer to the intercooler heat exchanger.

Work good for traction compound. An old street racers trick from the 70's . OOPS dating myself and its ilegal to street race.

Yes I am. I will have to go all that far *just* for stupid inspections. :) Otherwise I will never need washer fluid cuz I can't drive the car in weather conditions that require fluid. :)

I think I'm going to mount the donor bottle for now, and maybe switch it to intercooler spray later.

OK, so the donor bottle is huge, and it's tough to find a spot for it. Instead I used the donor pump to make a smaller windshield washer fluid reservoir.

I'm not sure where I'll put it, but it shouldn't be hard to find space.

You could use an old Porsche bottle, it's very small, and I mean... very small. I can take a picture if you want but I believe it can carry about, 250ml. That's what in USA, 8.5oz.
That's what I've been using in my Corrado donor and will fit in the 818.

Is that your solution on the left? Is that a sports drink bottle?

Yep, it's a shaker bottle for mixing protein drinks. I chose it because the plastic is fairly thick, and it sorta matches my coolant overflow bottle, in spirit anyway.
