Title: Old LRO magazine article - featuring a modified LR 90"
Post by: Porny on December 22, 2003, 21:08:00

Does any one remember an article in LRO about 4/5 (ish - maybe more) years ago featuring a black Land Rover 90".

The 90, was 'very' modified, with a side exit fish tale exhaust, modified turbo, freestyle alloys, proflex dampers.... etc

The 90, as mentioned was black, with some yellow, and I think pink, graphics on the front, and I'm sure the mods had been done by a French tuning company. I'm sure it was called an X-treme or similar.

I'm really after a copy of the article, or any web sites that are shown in the article?


Unfortunately I no longer have any old editions of LRO.

Grinch here!!

Only a temporary pseudonym Andy, normal service will resume on Saturday.

Yes the 90 in question does (did) reside in France.
And yes, I do have the specific copy of 'LRO' somewhere.

Will find it & reply with an issue number

Glad to hear it Richard, I miss the hat  :wink:

You could also scan the said pictures of this 90 and post them so we can all see  :idea:

Found it!

'Land Rover Owner' May 1997

'XX-Trem'

Produced/modified by an amalgamation of Land Rover France/4x4 magazine (Paris) & Sodemo & Team Arras Auto Sport.


193BHP from an essentially stock engine. The main mods being a bigger turbo (Garrat T3, custom manifolds)
Oh, and an ice-holder. The fuel Filter is cooled by ice-cubes, same principle as an intercooler.

Good for 120mph.

Sorry no web-address, as the 'net wasn't a big thing in those days

Richard,

My sincerest apologies, with one thing another I have only had limited access to the internet.
(And for some reason, I didn’t get notification of posts on mud-club.)

Don’t suppose there’s any chance of some copies of the whole article??

If not, unless any one else has got a copy, I’ll be on the phone to LRO in the New Year.

Also,
Another related question…

I don’t suppose you’ve got the magazine with (I think) Dunsfold’s (DLR) modified Land Rover 90” that apparently broke the dyno when doing power outputs.

This was a dark blue 90” on, I think Range Rover alloys? Again featuring a modified Tdi.


Thanks again


Ian
