As the car started life as a 957cc it didn't have a brake servo as standard, however I plan to fit one at some stage, some people have fitted Mk5 Escort brake servo unit/master cylinder in their fiesta with good results. However i have a Mk1 Mondeo non-ABS servo & master cylinder that i may try. For anyone intending to do this themselves you need to have a re-enforcing plate welded to the bulkhead around where the servo unit mounts to. I am also contemplating going down the remote servo route, as this would save alot of hassle & work imho, this is in the very basic stages however but will hopefully feature. And will of course eliminate bulkhead flex and create more room in the engine bay.

Suspension wise it is now running GAZ coil-overs which are very good at what they do, but were not the best fit. I have however heard AVO are the same. Due to it now being slightly lowered i have quite an amount of negative [ /----\ ] camber on the front. This doesn't help traction at all and it does have a bad tendancy to understeer. I believe GAZ offer camber adjustment bolts & modify your existing struts for under £50 so this is high up the future mod list as soon as i find a set of mk1 strut tops to put on my old shocks so i can just swap the legs whilst the coil-overs get sent away. I don't think my choice of tyres help either, Nankang EXR-500 or alike is whats on the front and trust me, they do not grip, do not buy these tyres! Goodyear Eagle F1's are next up as everyone seems to rate them. Whilst on the subject of understeer i used to have a front anti-roll bar, good in the dry but in the wet a total nightmare. Dread to think what it would be like now with the increased negative camber. If running a very soft compound tyre you'd probably be alright, but mine is a daily driver so soft compound tyres are a definate no no! Deflex poly bushes are on the front with new arms/bushes on the back. I've also fitted a Mk2 XR2 anti-roll bar, this is a straight fit as all mountings are in place.

This is the rear springs being changed;
