Yeah - woteva u do, u really wanna get a set of 256mm ATE calipers, pads + discs on there....as the 1.2 set up is pants.

As for shocks and springs, u'll be ok dropped <40mm on springs, even with a 1.4 in there

y not 1.6?



only jokin - the mounts are different on the x14xe mate, will need to mod the existing mounts to suit. Apart from that, pretty much plain sailing as long as u got the engine, box, loom + ecu, and the all important key for the ignition (as they had immobilisers built into some of em)
