I'm wondering if anyone has done a mod to the washer fluid tank.
For example clear the front tank and use the rear one for the front (just put a small hose from the back side of the car to the front side.)
Right now, I'm trying this mod but it doesn't seem to get enough power to put a decent spray on the front windshield.

I played around with this when my washer didn't work (turned out it was my indicator switches that were broken)
Possibly you could swap the front motor with the back? i think it is larger??
it's more of a pain to fill and you'll need to fill it more often

Luc St. Pierre did the washer relo mod on his MX-3 as part of a wt. reduction/redistribution project. No longer has the write-up on his site but I don't recall hearing any prob using the rear tank to feed fluid to the front wipers. The mod effectively removed 7-8 lbs (full reservoir) from the engine bay by pulling the front tank. Be interested in any probs you resolve on this cuz I just bought a GS rear reservoir from Philthy with the same idea for my RS. Every lil bit helps yah.

When I had the from washer tank split in the 323 (same P/N and in the MX-3) I replaced it with a smaller $9 universal 1.5L tank and pump assy from Princess Auto. When I installed the S/C on the A/C bracket to test it for the V-6, I needed the hole of the washer tank neck for the I/C plumbing and installed a OE ZX2 firewall mount tank and pump
