Don't think you would have to uprate the brakes mate there not a gread deal more power in a 1.3 lump

um i wud def upgrade the breaks, 1.2 breaks on a 1.2 r useless, and a 1.3 is surprisingly quick, so I wud recommend doing the GTE 16v brake conversion :)

:? i presume you mean gte brakes OR 16v brakes (as in Astra GSi etc)
Yes it would be worth your while doing one of them.

1.3 Brakes are the same as 1.2 brakes aren't they?

Yup- Shite is better word for them.

The better standard nova ones are the vented GTE/GSi ones, but they are obviously not as good as the 16v 256mm ones.
