RUTLAND PERFORMANCE VEHICLES

Mk1 XR2 fitted with 2.0 litre Zetec Engine, used for Sprints and Hillclimbs.

Identified as having zero castor (bad) by Cars and Car Conversions magazine.
New front suspension made to give adjustment of castor angle and more positive location with the use of rod ends and spherical bearings.
This included a new crossmember to relocate the front mounting points to clear the extra length of the 5 speed gearbox.

Rear beam axle modified to allow adjustment of camber angle and toe in (if needed). Stronger adjustable anti roll bar manufactured.

Notice the reduction in body roll and also the transfer of all the inner wheel loading to the front driven wheel for maximum traction (inside rear wheel off the ground).
