you could just stop and wash your windshield at a gas station, if needed.

Not if you live where there's salt on the road. If so, I'd be pulling over every couple minutes.

Dex, there are actually many models of cars that spray off the wiper stalk. Take some time, and buy a spray nozzle from Home Depot or a hobby shop (for airbrush painting), and put that sucker on there. Works wonders.

i second that. The many dodge (older cars) used to do that, specifically the dodge caravans that we used to have. I thought they were on avg. better than the nozzles on the hoods

It would be insteresting to put the sprayers on the top of the glass, pointing down. Like if the lines could be concealed around the edge of the windshield, and routed up to the top edge, or maybe the corners. Actually it would probably look completely retarded, I don't know.

That's how it is on the back of the p5... and it sucks.

I'm thinking of frabricating a way to put it under the hood...i'll let you guys know how it turns out

 

[terbow]

if u guys want to try it my cav has them on the wiper arms, ill cut them off and send them to someone for the cost of shipping.

In the 2.5 years that I've owned my P5, I think I've used the sprayers maybe 3 times.

Since you're going for the "weight reduction" setup by going carbon fiber, why not go the next step and remove the washer bottle and pump. Why not lose an extra 4 pounds to add to the 15 lost from the original hood. That'll make you even fastAr.

So you're going for show, maybe? In that case, who wants washer nozzles anyway?

..because you can't buy a CF hood just because you like the look.

 

[Dexter]

or because you want vents. nope. not allowed.

 

[terbow]

thats why i didnt reply. apparently cf is rice now.

 

[JAmazan]

i completely disagree, unless you remove the whole body of the car taking away the pump will not make you go faster... our cars w/ the exception of the speed protege...for us to get 1hp would have to remove 40 pounds, you do the math. second, unless u have money show cars take time to build......little by little....so with that being said...c/f is not rice.....plus it was cheaper than buying a hood from mazda to replace my other hood. any replys to my comment is welcome

Since when does removing weight create horsepower? Do the math.

Damn, this is getting pretty off topic, but I just felt like chiming in. Reducing weight ain't gonna give any HP, BUT it will affect acceleration since that is basically a function of the power to weight ratio.

So, given a car with a particular weight and power, you can calculate how much weight would affect acceleration. Using that gain in acceleration, you could also calculate how much HP it would have taken to get there. Ok, my wording might not make much sense, so on to the equations.
P0 = initial power
P1 = effective "added power"
W0 = reduced weight
W1 = initial weight

P0/W0 = P1/W1

so. P1 = (P0/W0)*W1

So if I have a car with 150 WHP, weighing 2500 lbs, a 100 lb weight reduction would have the basically the same effect as if I had added 6.25 HP
150/2400*2500 = 156.25

Yeah, I know nobody asked me, but I was feeling nerdy, needed to do some simple equations...

<0| O |0> = 1/N Sn=1N O({U}n),


do it

well done, that was my point, i think the math is done.......y do u think the hp at engine, its not just cause of power lost
