I don't know about the word "elite", but I'm happy with it and I try to keep it clean. Although it's not a Supra and it's a 1.5J.

Always a work in progress. I was considering painting the T belt and valve covers a metalic blue, what do you think?

Personally, I think it looks good just the way it is, and that is a very clean stock look.

Then again, the valve covers (or what you can see of them) would look good as a light met blue. I would leave the tbelt cover unpainted.

I've always loved the look of the 5/6 M GE.

I still have a fantasy of one with twin turbos, front facing intake with ribs on the intake to match the valve covers and a custom piece to go between the 2 valve covers.

One day, one day

here's some of mine from back in the day. Yes the rebuild was done in my dining room....well, not to mention but that was also my roomate's truck topper behind the motor....not too much dining went on in there.

Note the dish: 8:1 comp

edit: I don't notice #6 piston in the pic, the funny part is after the motor had been running a while, it kinda melted.

Not really that clean, but only engine shot that exists for my first supra.

edit: I was probably the only one in the world with a blue exhaust manifold...
