Ive been following this and it seems as though the solution is simple and makes a more effective car. Albeit will be a time consuming expensive venture.
VIN is not required in IT
1.6 car has the weak rear end due to size issues. Cant update to the better 1.8 housing,R+P, and diff. Not on the same spec line.
Change the engine to 1.8, upgrade the rear diff to the 1.8 piece, upgrade the brakes, and build a better moustrap. Besides the 1.8 car has the better airflow meter and intake.
The worst thing the OP did was ask the question. Now we all know what he is doing.
This is nothing worse than an IT7 1979 RX7 with drum brakes and small axle bearings that has upgraded to an 85 disc brake large bearing rear axle assy. or a 79 chassis with an 85 nose on it so we can get the airdam that works the best. Problem is they are all on the same spec line. Thats the issue at hand.
Just sayin'

All posts are made by a fat old guy with a crappy old car that isnt supported by a factory anymore and therefore should not be taken seriously, EVER
