I finished revision 1 of my Air/Water IC setup.
-Control panel is done and wired up...minus some LEDs i accidently broke =/ (rev 1.5)
-I removed the temp. reservoir, and went to a modified washer fluid reservoir for more capacity and features (e.g. water temp measurement for use with pump controller).
-I also painted up the support brackets and blacked out the surround of the heat exchanger for a stealth apprearance. I also lowered the heat exchanger ~2 inches for more airflow behind the bumper.

Adding the coolant made me think of one of my old sigs given the glowing green color.

it's mostly done =) It is Rev 1.
The control panel is done too. But i broke off the little legs on the LEDs installing it so i need to replace those...
in terms of the mods to the washer reservoir. The washer pumps are gone. I used some vinyl and epoxy to cover the holes. I also installed a sensor bung for a thermocouple.
I purchased the autospeed IC mister controller to control the water pump in an automatic fashion. I am going to set it to trigger when the water temp is ~5 deg higher than ambient. I also need to splice in the injector or fang wire so that it will come on when i am at ~10psi
that's what's left....unless i decide I want to add another heat exchanger above the other one, to help cool the water off faster... =)

standard stuff...i had it around and add a ting for color.
I plan to do a full swap and replace once the temps start getting close to freezing aka in a couple of months. I'll probably use waterweter and some coolant then.
