87 JDM AW11 supercharger
Thought I'd start a new showroom thread for my 1987 two tone supercharged AW11. I've owned it now for a few years, but its been in storage for the whole time, waiting for me to get some time to get stuck into it..... so finally I have started ;-) It is as nearly factory as one could expect, other than the aftermarket 15" alloy mags. The one behind is another one I have, but with a 20v blacktop in it. It too is almost factory looking, but that's for a showroom thread later.    Factory stereo, not my choice, but automatic, but drives & shifts great   Started removing the engine, would like to freshen thing up & check as much as I can, unfortunately, removing the entire engine is the only way.   Engine out, strip down time  Received cylinder head back, only required facing, otherwise excellent condition  More to come!

Quick update Started giving the mr2 a buff 'n' polish, coming up a lot better than I anticipated for original paint... WOW Toyota did a really good paint job on these aw11's for their time.    Engine lid had years of weather build up...  After polish  Underneath was terrible  After polish  Special thanks to Joel (Lumix) for providing replacement decals

Slow progress, but finally getting around to working on the cars again. Radiator removed, cleaned/ flushed prior to engine reinstall   Fans cleaned from years of build up & reinstalled, wish I took a pic of what they looked like before  Fuel tank removed to clean & replace fuel pump  Original pump by the looks of things, although bottom rubber missing & cable tied, maybe has been replaced... not sure, so replacing it anyway  New replacement unit installed, carried over the existing filter, replacement bag didn't look as good quality & hung very low from the pump  Next: reinstall engine :-)

For some reason I didnt get base injector seals in my VRS kit for the 4agze, only got the mid & top ones, so they had to be ordered from Japan.  Old seals, they were quite brittle on removal  Freshly installed seals  Started cleaning up the front end, was quite sad, but honest at least  Very tired Toyota bumper sticker, will be replaced - photos to come  Rubbed back & prepped, installed good condition eye brows from my other car  Freshly painted, new plate installed

Firstly, a HUGE shout out to Joel (Lumix) on this forum for providing all new reproduced decals for this car, without him & his assistance, it wouldnt look as good as it does, So a massive credit to you Joel, Thanks again mate. Original old bootlid sticker  Fresh ones installed   Completed back end  Original worn out front bumper sticker  Fresh installed one  Front end complete  Newly added Side stickers   Car is now totally finished!  This car will be going up for sale shortly, PM if interested
