BX brakes
I could be wrong but I was lead to beleive the only issue was the type of rubber used in the seals, i.e. LHM rubber and std rubber so I would expect some cars use the same calipers as the BX but with std rubber seals.
Just a thought

I'm sure I've seen calipers very similar to those on the front of a BX on the rear of a Golf GTi. I agree - a competent brake specialist can probably supply the appropriate seals - if indeed there is any difference.
Looks like the gearbox that came with the engine was used. Remote servo would solve many problems - Juguar used to put them underneath the back seats in the chassis on the Mk V11 - IX models - where predictably they corroded beautifully.

yes, waste of time. Don't get me wrong, great that hes done it, unique etc but it wouldnt go round corners! The v6 engine is over 70kg heavier than the 1.9 xu9j4 as far as I remember! One of them on throttle bodies, light head work and with fast road cams will result in the same power and a lot better handling.

on the road perhaps, take it somewhere where you could drive it properly and there would be a massive difference between his and a identically powered 1.9, around a track for example. You could overcome some of it with decent suspension but still tricky. No wonder he has put such big brakes on
This reminds me that my friend used to have fantasies about an AX V6 sigh
