I was riding home tonight thinking about my future mods when I realized, to my knowledge (which is very limited) toyota/scion doesn't have a specfic engine color. Please don't say black, that is so very boring.

Chevy orange
Ford Blue

ect ect ect...

What is or shall we call the "toyota/scion" color?

 

black/aluminum

 

you suck...lol

 

dark graphite

 

I don't know where you get the "You suck" color? Home depot maybe?

 

I've seen that color... I think Tu wears it...

 

LOL, I'm feelin' the "You Suck" name for it.

 

okay... serious now.... (ya, whatever... right)


who has/had an old toyota that they know the original color of the engine block?


Please don't say black/aluminum... lol....

 

my corolla was metal color (silver). But the matrix is bronze color.

 

coppered bronze

 

actually i had a old 3tc in a 1979 corolla sr5 sport coupe and it looked subie blue... sorry i know ford nabbed the blue up already but you asked.

 

toyota has some pretty famous 'engine colors' from the famous AG line you have the blue, red, yellow and silver top motors, and teh ever elusive black tops...

my 3C motors had what looked a lot like chevy orange in it.

If you had to pick a color though based on current models though... I'd call it, ''

"midnight aluminum"

 

IIRC, my first Toyota (a '73 Land Cruiser) had a gloss black block and head with a satin black valve cover. Intake manifold was silver (aluminum). Air cleaner, satin black. Engine was a 3.9 liter "F" engine based on the "cast iron wonder" Chevy 225 six.

I was going to make a joke about being old and me being born in 1973. But I like you Tom so I'll skip it. But *You have been warned*.

(grin)

 

Heh. I think that Land Crusher was my seventh car, Frosty. Yeah, I'm old.
