The rear crossmember fully painted and the photos don't really do it justice, next time you're down your local auto shop check toyota brite green out. i basically chose it because i brought a can in the past for god knows what reason and i applied it to the sway bar (not as yet fitted) and liked it so much i decided to use it everywhere, but not to tacky levels (i hope).
This is an old rear end shot of how it used to look. The change is quite dramatic, with gloss black floors and all the green rear end detailing which is also pretty high gloss. Its all in keeping with my clean intentions.
This mess of wires and motor is the z18et im going to use. Its actually a z18et with an L20 block, making it effectively a z20et. Mods of this motor are pretty much unknown but what i do know is some head work is done, high flowed turbo, a different cam and possibly some bottom end work. The engine was rebuilt not long before the previous owners cars demise. the gearbox is out of a dr30 rs so I've been told with a z bell hosuing used. The reason the shell is now lacking front wheels as it housed the z18et and i needed extra clearance for the z18et and gearbox to come out.
The final photo on this page shows the car with rear end still in and the last time the car actually had a bonnet fitted. Front suspension is significantly lower since the motor has gone back in.
