1974rx-4 needs the driver side window regulator, does anyone hear have an extra one you'd be willing to part with. If so please pm 1974rx-4 or myself with amount including shipping to zip 32907. Thanks!

That baby is looking really nice. Have you seen Heavy Hitter mag this month. It has a spread on a rx4 but with the heart of a Toyata.

Thanks everybody for your nice comments,Like 1973RX3 just said we are getting ready to fire this baby next week. Hi John the master cylinder is from a Mazda GLC 77-79 HATCHBACK & WAGON it is the same to the RX4 factory specifications,Rock Auto wants $138.00 for the Rx4 replacement cylinder and this one cost me $59.99 with free shipping on Ebay the brake lines are under the master cylinder not at the side like the factory cylinder and you have to keep the banjo bolts from the old one but there was no problem to install them at the bottom and it fit perfect on the brake booster and the reservoir is on the top not separate so is not only a good deal and works perfect but it look great too! like a brand new car
