Thinking about selling the Hilux if an offer comes along for around 19grand negotiable. I know 19 grand is up there but its had over 30spent on it and even though you never make your money back, not THAT keen on selling it, so if an offer around this price comes along then it'll go.

Basically it's a 97 Hilux with a Rotormaster built 13B turbo series4 motor. T66 turbo, microtech LTX8, extend ported and dowelled, modified Jatco 3speed with overdrive retained and higher stall converter. PWR intercooler, full mandrel bent 3 inch exhaust with 45mm external wastegate, bov etc. Modified and strengthened later model HiLux LSD. Fully engineered and registered in NSW with [LUX-13B] plates. Car has run a low 11 second pass and will go quicker with better tyres (ie slicks!). Easily a contendor for fastest mini-truck in aus.

Recently re-sprayed in bright orange 2pac with 3different gold pearls in it. Custom serg tank and pump in tray which has been fully stone-guarded and sprayed aswell. Clear tail lights and chromed front grill and headlight surrounds. Only thing is the engine bay has not yet been colour coded. Comes slammed on 19inch 2week old Gestald chrome wheels and 215/35/19 inch tyres. It's an X-tra cab with the factory interior retained.

Looks a million dollars and certainly turns the heads, on only 12pounds easily fries the tyres 1st,2nd, and third gear upto 150km/h+ with enough smoke to cover a small town! Will post up pics when i take them and upload them onto my computer. Located in canberra but will deliver to sydney.

edited to add pictures.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions everyone. I've got a few people interested in Lux at the moment, one guy wants it for 17G's without the 19's, i've got some spare concept five's for it, so we'll see how we go i dunno if i want to seperate yet but we'll see. This car really needs to be seen in real life though the pictures really dont do it justice. It looks almost red in the pics compared to my RX3 but in real life it's really bright orange with a real nice gold pearl.
As said before just looking to see if there's much interest at the moment, if someone makes a decent offer then it'll go so just let me know. Again if anyone lives in canberra that wants to see it in person give me a call and we'll organise for you to come look at it and go for a ride. No Joyriders!!! The other thing is if i cant sell it this way i might consider selling the easy 10second engine package for around 7grand the lot for anyone interested and then drop the stock motor back in and get my mate to install some bags in it, should have no worries selling it then. I Also included a dodgy pic of the engine bay.

Thanks again guys look forward to the replies.

ps. I never have any time these days to drive the RX3, 10 times a year is about average and most of those are formals. I was going to take it to the J-racing track day at wakefield this monday long weekend to defend my title but looks like i've bent the clutch fork so unless i can be bothered to fix it tomorrow or sunday, looks like it's ready for the stripping process!!!(getting it re-sprayed in time for sisters year 12 in December)
