Very nice car, that looks like awesome fun, I am currently building up a 202 VK rally car myself. As for making it go harder, maybe stroke it to 355 with a wild cam and bigger carby? As for brakes, try look on ebay for brake kits, although most I have found to suit VT onwards.

Cool! - what kind of handbrake setup are you using?
