Can anyone explain what's going on with the euro washer tanks? Is it being used for engine injection?
Totally lost there haha, and what's wrong with the US reservoir too small?
Just finished the 42 pages btw after months of a page here and there, that's just looking at pics mainly too.

Some of the price quotes I've heard have been ridiculous. No way I'd pay a whole lot for a can. Plus I don't see why you couldn't just buy it new from Mazda and tons of cars in junk yards will have them. I mean how many people are running water injection and love the idea of that reservoir that bad. I'd rather have the reservoir in the engine bay to avoid 10 feet of line in the interior

I'm not sure about the australian FD's having the larger tank, but I know for sure that Canadian and Euro FD's had it. Last time I checked the part is NLA from Mazda, and the price when it was available was crazy expensive...like more than $800 apparently. Now if you take into consideration how many Canadian and Euro FD's were sold...maybe a bit over 1k in total...how many large rear tanks survived the last 24 years? How many Euro or Canadian FD owners are willing to take it out and sell it to you? The number of tanks in circulation starts going down fast...hence the high price
But there is no lighter tank that fits better in the cavity behind the trunk panel than the Euro tank...unless you fab something up yourself.
I never liked the idea of having a visible AI tank in my trunk...so its a perfect solution for me, can't see it, doesn't take up any space in the already small trunk...and holds a lot of liquid. It's really a perfect sleeper mod.

"New" Suzuki Rotary Clock from the mid 70's. Clock with switched spinning rotor on face. Untouched until now when opened to test, works perfectly.
Anyone have any info on the history of these?

I saw a sign in Autobacs one time that said "It tears the goods below without opening them selfishly." I'm pretty sure that translates to "you break it, you buy it" but I'm not entirely sure lol.

I just love to gently toutch my rotarys pedal...
BTW here is my rare and somewhat pointless oldschool RAZO racing halogen mounting brackets for the FD...
I figured they could be used to mount a GoPro or something...
...or maybe some racing halogens when I go night time dorifto at Mt. Fuji

The FD ARC "induction" box literally blows engines by sucking air directly from the radiator, it was one of the first intakes widely available back in the 90's. Burn that thing like a blanket with small pox.
Sorry about the semi-negative post but your engine is in danger.
