    Hi, I am new to this forum. Would like to say hi to everybody and to share a pic of my Koenig Testarossa.

    It has a Koenig body kit, Koenig exhaust and camshafts, coilovers and a Koenig steering wheel.

    Thanks

    Yes they do, the last time when I saw the camshafts was a head gasket problem. It says KOENIG on the shafts.

    I thought the Koenig body style removed the strakes...

    Yes, you are right, the wide body version does not have the strakes.

    Mine is not a wide body version, the body kit comes with the front spoiler, side skirts and a rear bumper only. With the flared fenders, the strakes has to come off. But some owners managed to keep them.

    Feb. 2004 was my first track event in a Testarossa and I was slow, but that made me safe and now I'm Porsche certified driver instructor. I have never spun out, but I bet that time is getting closer and closer. Don't rush it and feel the car at all times and speed will follow.

    As wide as the TR's already are, I'd love to see them even wider! Didn't know that a company would widen them some some. CNCHUNG, your car is awesome! I love the front spoiler. Welcome!!! :D

    Are you sure about the rear tire size? That makes them a lot lower than your front tires. I'm looking for wide and low tires in 17inch but there is no a lot of choice (anymore).

    if not 30, it must be 35, due to the width, the rear tyre are thick in fact. i will double check again.

    Yup, 17's are hard to find now. Most cars got 18's standard. I still recall when i first had my E36 bimmer, i had 17's on and people said they were too big.

    Bite your tongue! I think the Koenig TRs are awesome!

    If I had a second TR (and a bigger salary), I would have one too ;)

    You got a good collection of KOENIG TRs and I bet you loved it badly.

    Do you run TT on your car or somehow modified for the track? 1000bhp on the track is awsome!

    My Testa is now pumping 450bhp crank with the mods.

    When I get back home, I will try to show my collection of KOENIG TR to all of you.

    Cheers
