That is a beautiful example of an RX2. What year is it? I have (2) '74s a 2dr and a 4dr. Be careful parts are very scarce. I cannot find a brake master cylinder or a rebuild kit. The same goes for the rear struts and steering components. If you know where these items can be sourced, let me know.

69 510 - Try matt@always-jaguar.com His company is called VIntage Imports. He usually has the items you're looking for. I picked up a new MasterCylinder from him about a year ago. He sometimes has balljonts and tie-rod ends.

Looks like a 71 to me.
I really want to get my hands on a 71.
Right now I own a 72

Nice. Doesn't even have the rust that mine does, which I thought was good.

you can use the master cylinder from a 73 RX-3 (available at Schucks for about $50) - you just need to graft in a short piece of new hydralic line and use a brake line union to make the front line long enough to get up to the top of the MC cuz that's where it is on the RX-3 units, not on the side like the RX-2 one.

Looks nice, allthough I think it looks kinda cheesy with the rx7 wheels on it. They just dont go together to me.

Nice, very nice indeed.

I like the 7 rims, they suit the car, IMHO. That being said, the rims from a '79 RX-7 might look even better...
