I recall someone posting it on the GT4 mailing list on Yahoo groups about 2½ years ago. From memory there is some issues you'll have to deal with in regards to one-way valves and stuff to stop the water dribbling out. I think it will only work when hooked up to a big red aircraft style switch mounted next to the lumbar support button

The trick used on the older Subaru liberty RS Turbo was to put a bigger "radiator" unit in, although I believe the Celica one is bigger anyway.
You're prolly better off with an extra water reservoir (not much room to put it though, but I've seen someone use one of those water bags that country people hang off bull bars which have a spot in the bottom of the bag for a valve or fitting) with an external washer pump & simple garden hose fittings. Just got to make sure that the hose from the pump goes up to a level above the top of the reservoir so that the water doesn't just run out through the pump. This almost stops the dribbling problem

Would this account for the massive size of my washer resovior? cos I have had the car 18 months, and only filled it up 2-3 times and I use the washers a fair bit....
From memory it easily takes a 4 litre bucket to fill it up...

I used to have a subaru with headlight washers.
This was a big tank like that, but Subaru made a different bottle depending on whether the headlight washers were fitted or not. Maybe Toyota got smart & had the same bottle for both, just not tapped for the second pump?
Also, where is the reservoir for the rear washer?

The wiring is there in a GrpA but the functionality isn't in the ECU which would run the sprayer in Grp N trim. The wiring is easy to access though if you want to hook up a switch. The spray nozzles though are bloody huge though so the reservoir would last a few minutes only. You need to replace them with something mores sensibly sized.
BTW this isn't going to make much difference unless you are on the track. The firts mod you should be looking at is removing the pump relay with a bypass so the pump runs all the time.
