koenig competition 1.000 hp

after the formula 1 victory with ferrari and vettel I thaught I have to get out of my basement my TR koenig and my BB koenig. today the weather has been not so fine but I had to go into my basement to look for some parts. to reach those I had to move the 2 cars away.

first I switched on the battery main switch from the TR, sit in the car, started, and the engine was running well. I just made a small testdrive around the block - wow, W O W, after long wintertime and vacation I already know now what I was missing so much - the sound and the acceleration. only the same problem between 3100 and 3200 rpm, but this I hope I will find and fix within the next couple of days.

then I had to move my BB: same procedure, battery main switch on, sitting in the car, unlock theft system, turning on the ignition, waiting about 30 seconds until the carbs has been filled, pushing the accelarator 4 times, start the engine, and - engine was turning fine but not starting. so again waiting about 30 more seconds, pushing the accelarator again about 7 times, starting, and - W O W - nice sound. playing then a little with the accelarator that the engine will not stall and after about 2 minutes idling I got the car out of the basement and also did a small testdrive around the block.

really great feeling again, even it started raining again as soon as I have been back in my garage.

next to do will be to clean and polish again both cars because even they have been covered they are a little dusty.

I had so much fun that both cars ran once again without any problems that I wanted to let everyone here to participate in this positive experience

 

good idea TS,

but:
in 2 years my TR koenig competition is 30 years old/young and then I can register this car as antique or classic car beacuse it was modified within the first 10 years. so then much less tax and much less insurance. when I put in an 8 cylinder then it is first of all absolutely nothing original ( the 12 cylinder now is modified and that is legal that the car will get antique status ) and also it is no koenig anymore.

so I think it would be better to keep as much as possible from the original and modify only the electronic. the reliability I think I can manage, because until now I spent so much money only for gearbox parts that for this all I spent I think you will get a brand new gearbow at ferrari with the weak parts inside

also I don´t like the brand new stuff of technic
