Hey everyone

I've finally decided to get rid of the (fairly stock) vr4 and I'm looking at buying a mid 90's model ute. Its just not so good on the bank anymore and it's about time i get serious with my money!

Im chasing $9000, but all offers will be considered. The vehicle is located in Adelaide (northern suburbs) and has approx 155,000 km on the clock. As far as I can tell I am the second owner, and the interior is in fantastic condition. Only issue is the leather on the steering wheel has worn away in parts.

There are a few slight mechanic repairs required (new windscreen from a dirty big crack and new wheel bearings in the back which are about $40 for parts plus half hours labour). There is panel damage on the rear right caused from a recent accident where the car was hit while making a U-turn. It seems to be only panel damage and there has been no damage to the wheel/suspension or light cluster/bumper on the rear.

Other than that, the car is driving well, and is currently at Adelaide Turbo Serices having some repairs and tidying done on it. It comes with a 3" turbo back mild steel custom made exhaust (brought over from a jap spec i used to own) and has never run more than 14psi. A second hand turbo has just been put in it and its in ok condition - some cracking of the exhaust housing. But I was planning to put a big 16g into it, and have just installed the gtpumps high flow evo III manifold. Since I have decided to sell it, i have just got a 'temporary' turbo of sorts in there.

The car drives fantastically, although the exterior could do with some work.

Overall, this is a great car for someone who wants to work on it and make it a nice street machine. I have probably been guilty of not paying enough attention to it and consequently Im selling it - but have no doubt i have loved this car and its still in good nick! Just needs some love.

The upgraded parts on it are:
- GT Pumps Hi-flow Evo III type manifold (BRAND new)
- Custom made 3'" turbo back exhaust
- Half decent stereo (Sony Xplod stuff - 4" in dash, 6x9 parcel shelf and 12" sub)
- Greddy turbo timer
- Dash mounted colour selectable boost gauge
- Koni strength adjustable front shockies
- Bilstein rear shockies
- 17 Speedy rims with Toyo Tranpath tyres rear and some new cheaper tires on the front.

Pictures will follow on monday when I get the car back from the shop. There are quite a few bits and pieces spare, including a boot lid that has been debadged and dewinged that i was going to spray and put on it.

PM or call 0418 540 220 to come and view the car. Weekdays after 5pm and weekends.

Thanks guys
Shannon

Update of the details:

All work has been completed at Adelaide Turbo Services and there has been a new 2 bolt dump and flex join installed and its driving pretty well. Discovered that the idle issue IS in fact the Idle Control Solenoid so I will fix that when i get that chance. Rear wheel bearings also.
Going to put a couple new Toyo Tranpath SW's on the front rather than shortchanging with el-cheapos.

FINALLY go some time to upload pics!











As you can see, the car needs only exterior work done it to make is schmicko again, and would be great to use as a daily driver or project car. Its got the base for some decent power (hi-flow manifold to suit 16/20g etc etc) and will be sorely missed by me!
It will also be advertised in Carsales.com and probably trading post.
Cheers
