My friend took a bunch of pics for me, I think they came out pretty well. Here's my babies: my 1988 MR2 Supercharged (with too many goodies to list here), and my 1986 Cressida Wagon with a 5-speed swap.

Credit to your friend for some really nice photos. Your wagon, I am jealous.

I'm no longer an M engine owner, I sold my last 7M Supra Sunday..:(

Love the Supercharged MR2s. Is yours rocking an 89 wing?

Supercharged MR2's are one of my dream cars. I studied them like a graduate student, identifying the little things to prevent from being sold a converted NA, etc.

Love your Cressida. My very first car was a hand me down from my mom - a gray 1985 Toyota Cressida wagon just like yours (auto of course). Finally sold it in 2002 after many good miles. The engine bay on mine wasn't as clean as yours, though.

If you were so inclined, go into my profile and look at my build posts. The engine was probably the dirtiest engine I've ever seen, certainly the dirtiest I've ever worked on. The 5MGE is a fantastic motor and will run forever, so long as you can put oil in faster than it leaks out!

Towards the end I think I was having to add a quart every two weeks. Buying oil was cheaper than trying to pay to have the leaks fixed, though.

I replaced every seal on the engine, transmission, and rear end and it still leaks. Rear cam cover cap things and diff gasket still weep a bit.

My favorite leak was the rear washer fluid leak. If you hold down the rear wiper button it'll squirt fluid...except the hose must've gotten old and cracked in mine because instead it'd drip down from a vent on the rearmost pillar INSIDE the car.

HA! That's awesomely terrible. I haven't even put fluid in the reservoir yet to see if the sprayer works.
