Q. What's this and what's it used for?
In my quest for RX-7 Knowledge I have hit a brick wall - ow. 
Can anyone tell me what this is and what it's used for? I can't seem to find it in the FSM...

That is the cold-start fluid reservoir.
Mazda has actually recommended removing the cold-start system because it doesn't work properly.

HMMM! good idea!
My GTU doesn't have one but my SE does.
What parts would I need off it to make a Intercooler sprayer? I'm doing a NA TII conversion to the GTU so this would be pretty spiffy to do.

I'll just fill it up with methyl hydrate and set up some fogger nozzles

It's really too small to be much of an intercooler spray. Only holds a little less then a litre....I would consider using the washer fluid resevoir. It's HUGE (4 litres).
To the original poster: the cold start is to be filled with a concentrated solution of coolant. In cold weather, it is sprayed into the intake to prevent icing...It's a really dumb idea, and most of them stopped working after a year. Mazda issued a TSB that says to pull the tank out and cap the nipple in the intake.

sprayer
yes if you have the subzero it might be a good idea to use the zero tank for washer fluid, i dont know if youd need to use an inline pump as i havnt even looked to see where the pump is in relation to the resevoir tank.
i hardly use the washer fluid exect for in the winter so
it makes sense that i only need a little bit.
