Hi Mercedes people,

Just joined and picked up my new to me, old 1998 SLK 230.

I have had in the past a 1965 220, 1985 280 and a 1988 SL 380. I loved them all but it has been some time, till now, that I have bought one due to other playthings in my life. I am glad to be back.

I do have a question. I would like to upgrade my cars performance without killing it's integrity. Things like Brakes "on stock wheels" with better tires and some minor performance upgrades on the engine no more then say thirty five "35 HP" as I don't want to kill the car prematurely.

Thanks

John
