Yes Andrews old A14 had around 150hp. Which is now my engine going into my
1200 coupe :) If you had 150hp up front in your 1000 coupe a bit more than
120y disc's and Sigma calipers will be needed. A bit of fabrication would
be needed to fit big brakes up front i would think.
Thats why im researching a good brake setup for my 1200. I definatly
wouldnt put the A14 in until i have the big brakes on. I can hardly stop at
the moment with my stocko A15!!! But it doesnt help having no fluid in the
rears. Good for burnouts tho :-)
