Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any links to good guides on how to best go about preparing one of these to perform well at speed.

I'm most interested in suspension setup/parts and braking?

Also if anyone knows of a good guide for fitting a Subaru boxer to a 1303S, that'd be awesome Hello

Good company? Any others worth dealing with in the UK?

Your in the right place for information for a subaru swap


Also take a look at www.germanlook.net

You'll find loads of information on that site regarding the suspension and brake modifications your after for a 1303

What engine are you wanting to use?

I've built my 1303S up for high speed driving and cornering mainly with Topline suspension under it,
Used to run an EJ22, now EJ25 hybrid.
