2009 SLK 350 - mild track car project

Introducing myself, am a SLK forum member but there is not much track car interest there, great forum though. So here I am from Australia.

Presently waiting on a Drexler LSD so the car can go back together, so far Bilstein B16 suspension with adjustable rear links and K-Mac front adjustable bushes. Next will be fitting a race seat and belts plus I'm looking at external engine and trans oil coolers plus a larger front brake kit. Twenty minute sessions may be too much for the stock internal coolers.

Any tips would be great, I'm not used to having a car that no-one else races

Sounds like a great start! Get some track time and let us know how it goes.
