Hi Vince
I've also dropped you an e-mail for the September one. Like I said in the 
e-mail, I'll be there on the Sunday as well competing in the RAF Motor 
Sports Sprint.

Hi Alan,
I took the advice given by Jim Hearne and others to fit the 1.4 fronts and 
standard 1100 rears, which worked well enough but there was a shocker imbalance 
with the units  fitted which were standard fiesta MK 2 (presumably) and this 
caused the car to change direction on acceleration and give a feeling of doubt 
as to where it would go! 
I was very lucky to find on Fleabay a set of near new Spax adjustables with 
standard XR2 springs fitted for £90 so once I had fitted them I found that 
standard XR2 springs were not good and the car was too soft as there was very 
little preload, so back on went the new springs that I had bought (1.4  1100). 
This did the trick and I am now very happy with the car and have set the rear 
soft and three clicks on the front, the car will oversteer when pushed which is 
strange for a FWD but at least it is predictable.
I then threw out my MX5 seats and installed some leather jobbies from a top of 
range Vectra and the car is quick and comfy, so meets my requirements at last.
All best Jon 2+2 RST

  I'll remove the clocks and have a look at some point then. 

  So perhaps swapping the front springs for the 1.4 springs or maybe even the 
diesel ones which are supposed to be a little harder? Then again presumably the 
front end on a 2+2 weighs less than the fiesta in derv form? 

  Would xr2 gas shocks be usable with the longer springs?

  How about springs/shocks for a mk1 fiesta, I gather they rode higher?
