is it possible to put rear disks on my 1.6 sport?
if so what parts do i need?
how much effort does it take?
how much (approx) do you think it'll cost??
i can remove the rear swing arm if i need to, so its not like i dont have a tooled up garage and a clued up dad 
taa

its a lot of effort for no gain in braking performance. Obviously if your doing it for looks and hate the drums then its more worth it.

aparently you do gain quiet abit with the right setup, but it would be more for looks than performance as id be using standard disks and pads on the rear.
no i havent done anything up front yet, i was just seeing if its cheap enough on the diy so i know what budget i need before i start.
thanks
