I bought a early R170 SLK 230 5 speed. Been slowly fixing things myself since most transfers to the W202 i own that one as well but its a auto. I wanna get into these kinds of races in my slk. And of course take her to the Autobahn just a bucketlist thing of mine.

Superb action! Thanks for sharing. I do have a question, have you removed the ABS and fitted a pedalbox?

@@RatchetRebuilds thanks. No we still have ABS and the standard pedals. That’s a thing we aren’t allowed to change.

@@rodrigocosta9569 that’s awesome to hear. We’ve swapped the K40 unit and now the problem is gone. This season some more SLK’s had the same issue. Swapping the K40 unit almost always fixes the electrical/power issue. 😉 Hope you get it solved.

oh, I look and am happy, after the start of the war I left Belarus and one day I saw this slk for the first time in my life, for some reason I fell in love with this body, this year life began to get better, I’m going to take some 230 on the mechanics and try to make a light body kit in style sl 65 amg black series for short trips around Europe...xD, I also like to watch your videos from time to time, I wish you a lot of positive emotions from the car this season!) p.s.
