I got the trading post this morning to look for a ute and rang at 8:15 to ask about one with a 12A rotor in it for 8g (sold already!!!)
there is another one for 14,500 with a super charged A15!!!! Talk about pricey!!! it is in Ingleburn Sydney- bright red, does anyone know of it???

yes,i think i do,if it's being sold by someone called jackie (female).if it is the car i know,it was built by ron johnson from ingleburn steering as a promotional car for his business.ron passed away about 4 years ago,& i think this is his ex-wife who is trying to sell the car.if it is,it's got an a15 with a 4agze blower,an intercooler,a homemade injection system with a microtech computer,a dellow conversion toyota 5 speed,a h165 diff with 3.7:1 ratio,an lsd & disc brakes,200b struts with 12 inch discs & commodore two spot calipers,whiteline sway bars,up rated springs front & rear,15 inch momo wheels with 195/50 x 15 tyres,a 4 inch extension to the cabin for more room,an alumin(i)um rear wing,a fibreglass rear tonneau cover that hinged up with gas struts,a re upholstered interior,a cd player with amp & speakers,& still a bit more.plus it is fully engineered & registered.bit steep at 14 grand,but i heard they (jackie & her boyfriend) were trying to sell it at the summernats for $12,000.at least go & look at it,& take it for a run.the ute was bloody quick,& deserves somebody to look after it properly.that's if it is ron's ute.
there was a photo of the ute's engine bay on the site,it was used as a comparison between a 1000 engine bay & a 1200 engine bay,if thats a help.

Also my mate owns a newsagent and gets the trading post about 8pm wednesday night, so i could look and call that night or first thing in the morning. Point- Become friends with some one who owns a Newsagency so you can get the TP early.

Sure sounds like Rons ute, He was a really nice fella, would do anything for anyone. Last time I heard about the ute, which was two days ago, it was tied up in some legal rangle, something about, people still being owed money for the engine work, and interior and stuff. So Id check that angle out before buying it
