Castro Motorsport: Polak's E34 Touring Sportin' Some New Shoes

[e30polak]

So I've always been a fan of RVAE34's (from bimmerforums) Alpine E34 on 18" AC Schnitzer Type 3s, and since I have a staggered set of 18s myself...I thought I'd switch up the shoes on Olga for a change. :p

(RVAE34's car for reference)



Well, I must say I've fallen back in love with my touring!

While I love my satin black, staggered, 18" AC Schnitzer Type 2s, I've always preferred the spoke design of the Type 3! I will be swapping the larger tires over from the Type 2s to my Type 3s, as the ride quality is MUCH worse with the smaller sidewalls! Also, I thinkt the Type 3s look too small with the current tire set-up.

Enough blabbing, onto the goods!

I'm digging the all-red taillamps, really gives it that E39iT look.

What suspension setup is on the car in the first picture? It sits like my fathers' M5 (on H&R Sports/Koni SA).

[azael325i]

I envy you

[GDA]

Awesome. Much better IMO.

And agree, it needs more rear tire - at least 275s

[MR 325]

Looks so much better with the silver wheels on there!

What size tires were on the Type 2 vs the tires currently on the Type 3?

That third shot is dope. Clean amidst the dirty.
