And carry hell of alot more weight when full! I can fully understand why they put a bigger tank in their but when you think they were cutting back and improving things, thas alot of water to have swinging about back and forth on a track imo lol also adding valuable weight

I like the idea of an auto setting on the intercooler spray!
Can an ECUTEK re-map with Racerom, be programmed in to have the spray on temperature whether it be oil or intake, then still have the option to spray manually as well..?

Ummm interesting thought. If i remember i will ask when i get my final map. To be honest i forget about the IC spray most of the time. I have only filled my bottle once in nearly 2 years.

When I took my RB a rolling road, the technician sprayed the intercooler loads before giving it beans!!
I actually use mine quite a bit;
When stretching it's legs..
After sitting in traffic, before setting off..
Then a bit just to help with the cool down, for the last mile before switching off sometimes!! (well I do have a very nice stretch of lanes on the way home :north
Let us know what Bob says mate

Nope they don't actually hold that much, the reason the spec c one is 12 litres is 10 off the fuel tank and 2 off the normal spray bottle

I was chatting to a Spec C owner who told me that the bottle empties quite fast at the Ring.
So do EU/UK Sti's only have a manual mode then?
Manual surely can help but if you drive it hard e.g. on track you can either be driving or squirting, not both so an auto mode makes sense.

I must admit, when i took the photo for this thread the bottle was a lot larger than i had first thought. I thought it was only slightly larger that the opening in the boot trim but when i slipped my hand in to feel it i was surprised how big it was.

By the way im not a complete muppet, im sure i could have worked out to use a hose of something but its still more of a PITA to fill than a standard bottle. I don't need to climb in the boot or need hoses to fill mine !
