is this worth doing? Mod?

A few of my friends told me that I should run windshield washer fluid to my the front of my car, and put it where i can spray my Radiator down to cool it down.

I was wondering if it was even safe to do that? and also they where saying brake cleaner cause its a lot colder? Thats the strangest thing i've heard just wondering if anyone has actually done this and if its safe for the car?

Thanks

You're assuming WHAT is not worth doing? I don't even think you understood what they told you. You said something about routing washer fluid to your radiator. How are you going to do that? Are you saying they told you to rig up some aftermarket device that sprays washer fluid onto your RADIATOR? Did you think that was an actual mod?

I think the problem here is that your friends were talking about the built-in IC sprayer on 03-04 Evos, and they were telling you to use washer fluid instead of water in order to provide better cooling. Is that what you meant to say? You do know about the IC sprayer right? If you haven't heard of that, then hopefully you have an 05 or 06, because Mitsu stopped installing those on Evos in 05. If you do have an 05 or 06 (for some reason, you chose not to list that in your profile), then you don't have an IC sprayer, which means you should know to tell them that their idea is null and void.
