For that money, you could get a kit from either DevilsOwn or CoolingMist.
 
They both use a similar pump, which is a good pump but not as slick or small as the Aquamist one.  Both those other pumps are better pushers than pullers, so the pump needs to be near the water tank and you run the high pressure hose for the longer run.
 
You might find a second hand Aquamist kit - to be honest the most expensive parts are the pump, check valve and nozzle, and if you want fancy stuff the controller.  A basic system just needs a pressure operated switch, relay and the pump - the rest is just hosing and the check valve.

Err... I nicked my aquamist out of a Supra..

Was being broken by a local breakers at the time and I thought it looked highly modded so went to see if there was anything I could pinch...

You don\'t wanna know how cheap it was - which has nothing to do the the breakers yard thinking it was something else :)

Breakers are goldmines sometimes, although I find more are getting up to speed on mods.

Mind you, my driver\'s side door lid was only a tenner so not sure they\'re fully up to speed on parts prices for FDs....
