Flat black e30's

[Digitalwave]

I don't think that you are really "opening up" the engine to change the timing belt. There is one cover and a couple hoses that need to be removed to get to it. Its not like its inside the block or something.

"Flat Black" is for brokedown POS EF civics, Hachis and 240s. Not BMWs. My 2 cents.

HAHA!!! that's so funny that you said that. I just bought a EF hatch that's flat black.

oh yeah it blows the doors off of is's.

Why is the hood on that ugly satin E30 popped?

vent heat from turbo setup.

Different strokes for different folks, I personally don't see it as something attractive.

I think it would look fine done right. But halfassed it looks like dirt.

-"eighty-six", as in Ae86, is "hatchi-roko" (sp?) in Japanese

They refer to them as an "Eight-six", or Hachi Roku (eight-six, geddit?).

To me, flat-black belongs on TA22 Celicas (early 70s ones), kustoms, trad rods, bad-ass muscle cars and anything more aggressive than an E30. The DirtE30 just does not have the hardcore bodylines to pull off such a hardcore hue.

A non-USD E21 323i, dumped on its arse, fitted with fat 16s and a V8 or triple-carburettor-fed M30 with a 304-deg cam would be perfect for a flat blackin' ;)

Youre Not Painting That Bumper!

but its not stock, so who cares. pretty much any car can blow the doors offa any other car if they are modded all to hell.

technically it is stock, just an integra motor and fully gutted.

You can only push off flat black if you've got some SERIOUS muscle under the hood. I wouldn't try it unless my paintjob was completely screwed and I was running 300+hp.

it looks great on that car IMO. If your intercooler is that big, go for it.

Where is the eyelid bashing?

I think the compressor wheel of his turbo is so big that he couldnt shut the hood. OOPS!

[2002maniac]

I have heard using a S14 crank w/ a 2.0 m10 will get you around 190 hp N/A (absolutley quoting hear say). But as I have already done....just slap a turbo/ and MS and call it a day.

With the right head work 190 is totally do-able. It wouldnt be very fun during rush hour though...

uhhh yea, a motor swap is pretty much stock..lol



on topic, i actually do like flat black on E30s, not many other cars except for ratrods, the car has to be old school looking to pull it off (and have big pawr).

That's about what my Dad's old M10 in his 74 02 with a 330 degree cam, 11:1 compression & massive sidedraft webers put out. It also idled at about 2200 rpm.

Not exactly streetable.
