ok, im fitting a 1.6 engine in my car this weekend hopefully, at the moment its a 1.2 8v i need to get some new brakes too, i want some nice brakes that fill my wheels, what i need to know is if i get some 2.0 brakes, calipers, pads etc, will i need the master cylinder or anything else as well?

It is posible to fit extras, ie servo and master cylinder but only calipers, discs and pads are essential.

Why not go for V6 brakes...

...I\'m selling V6 brakes

No need to uprate the master cylinder on 2.0 16v (ATE) or the V6.

Standard master cylinder and 2.0 brakes will stop it on a dime!

But saying that 4 pots will stop it even better!

Wear a seatbelt and learn how to brake

Then that\'d be my first thing to fix before worrying about doing anything else to the car!

Seatbelts are over rated in my opinion,

An accident i had this week last year in my (now dead) mk4 Astra Sport doing 120mph through a telegraph pole with no seatbelt on.
I came around in a helicopter being taken taken to Queens Medical Centre in Notts.
All i ended up with was a cut finger.
If i had my belt when the car rolled it would have taken my head off, but miracelously i ended up in the boot and had was un-harmed.

I felt like Bruce Willis In Unbreakable.

Sorry if i\'ve waffled on.
