The Type IIs that i recently acquired came with Falken rubbers. So why not use them first? They’re in 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. I managed to fit the fronts, with the 15mm spacers on. but had to remove the rear 20mm spacers. They will be shaved and reinstalled, once i get the rear fenders rib shaved. I also have some new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric, just waiting to go on, in 265/30/19 and 235/35/19. Please enjoy the only 2 pictures

I’m that much closer to completing the E34 with the addition of these AC Schnitzer 19″ Type IIs. Here they are raw from storage. Pretty filthy from the pictures and there are also some chips and curb marks, but they are still pretty much virgins in terms of not being painted on, ever. I have intentions of getting them powder coated but have yet to find a shop that does it.
Not the biggest fan of the bad boy bonnet frown but major points for overall stance. Those are some really deep step lips.
The parts are being bolted as i post this. I have been running the E34 with my old E30 3:73 LSD mounted on the older, smaller E34 rear subframe. How, you ask?, well that’s because i’ve also been using the M20 long-shaft and most other rear drive parts, including the driveshafts, brakes. That is unacceptable but good enough until now. So I recently found a guy who supplied me with the 540i rear axle complete with:
This is one of my all-time favorite E34. Though not much information or other pictures of it can be found, i managed to find pics of it by searching for “Schnitt E34″ I found the car’s profile here. Other known information is that it’s a late model E34 525i and is obviously based in Japan and is associated with a German car club named NKV – Norden Kanto Verbnd
It’s pretty obvious, what’s been done on the outside. The classic AC Schnitzer Type II Racings in 19×9 and 19×10, with 235/30 and 265/30 for sufficient stretch and everything else Schnitzer, including the antique Type 1 mirrors. I have painstakingly collected a series of pictures after the jump
Have been searching forever for a set of AC Schnitzer Type II in 19s from the E39 and up. And here they are! It’s in 8.5″ and 9.5″. It may not look like any change at all from my current 18″ type IIs but believe me, they are, in both size and design.
As pictured, the 19X9.5 rear alongside the 18×8.5s on the car. Can’t wait to collect them real soon
Here’s something you don’t see everyday. I’m the biggest fan of the Porsche GT3 RS and i love anything with a similar style. The Signal Green is probably my favourite colour. So Watch this space for possibly more continuation

My Girlfriend and i have since acquired this Mini RS

Engine
Specs aside, listen to how the Pagani Zonda R sounds like. Imagine living down the street from Pagani.
This is the pinnacle of insane power-to-weight ratios. Meet the Wazuma quadbike built by French automobile and motorcycle builder Lazareth. In pure engineering ingenuity, Lazareth has managed to shoehorn an entire BMW V12 engine into the Wazuma . And to keep the environmentalist at bay, Lazareth has tuned the engine to run on eco-friendly E85 ethanol.
