Why would you want the spec C system out of interest?

well they have a bigger tank which goes across the back of the rear seats yeah ..... Cant see the point in trying to convert. Just means you dont have to fill it QUITE so often. Hardly worth the money though.........Wonder how much Subaru would want for the tank alone?

Those tanks can empty out quite quick on the track though

You would have to run in all the pipes, electrics etc, if you dont have auto mode then it isnt worth it as you would need to press the manual ic spray all the time to empty it.

Just take a water container with you to the track. Leave it on the floor and your not lugging the extra weight around. Job done

Yeah you can get it for £90 from Japanparts but wait until you add the cost of shipping!!!
I know cos I obtained a quote from them about 3-4 weeks ago.Shipping was 25000 japanese yen for 2 tanks (About £120) so say £60 each plus then you may get stung for import duty and vat when it arrives...
We (4 of us) did a mini group buy and ended up buying from Graham Goode.I think his standard web price is about £175 plus delivery but we got them for a little over £150 to our door!
Might be worth speaking to them and seeing if they can move on price (The guy I dealt with was called Ben)

Here's a direct link to the part on their website

Good luck

Nick
