TRL D forged my X and gave it a new tubby

Wellground · 29-03-2012, 19:26

Big thanks to Matt and the lads at TRL D. I have just had a PM from Matt to let me know that the X is just about ready for collection.

I didn't go for the big numbers, preferring a fast scrolling HKS GT11 for track day work, but I had to keep the ££ numbers in check as well. Well chuffed with the results though, it's now running 470/460.

I will get the full spec from Matt and post it later.

Thanks to TRL who have been so helpful and supportive. Great work.

So now it's stripped out, lighter and more power. Can wait to try it....

Bet it feels and spools awesome!! the HKS GTII is an awesome spooling turbo on the X!!!!

Well done Rob... Will be good to see how much quicker you are around Castle Combe now. Stick up some graphs when you can

Cheers,
Gum

cally1066 · 29-03-2012, 22:21

how much weight did you strip out of the x bud

Wellground · 30-03-2012, 08:00

Thanks guys, I will get the graphs later, all I have is just two numbers at the moment. I can't wait to see the graphs myself.

Yes Gum, looking forward to Combe as it's my base mark to see how much better it is. I hope to do more tracks across the UK this year after that.

Cally, didn't weigh all the parts, but I stripped it in two goes over 2 years. I know I lost at least 100kg over the winter, probably the same amount on the one before. I will stick it on a weighbridge soon and find out exactly what it weighs now. I am only guessing, but possibly somewhere inder 1400kg is realistic.

Yes he did. But mine still has the aircon pump on, the central locking/alarm etc. I think high 1300's would be good. Possibly 1400kg. I will find out soon, I will get it weighed.
