#18099 of 26366 An Easy, Cheap Engine Mod by toms99 May 25, 2002 (2:52 pm)
Yes, I painted my valve cover letters <g>!     I used gold to match the "3.5L" logo.
#18100 of 26366 glen springs by 300michael May 25, 2002 (2:57 pm)
I would not put any on until I could find them on ebay. The Intrax is on because of the price I paid for them, was a third of their regular price. Just like the 4 PHP struts I just got for less then 100 dollars. I do everything on a budget. If I bought a new Non PHP (which I am not planning to do), I would take off the springs (intrax) and all the other stuff I have added and intall them on my so called New M, and return my 99 back to stock (The hood scoop I would have to think about) except for the dual exhaust. The reason being I have the Spacer kit, if I needed it. It was very hard to get, and Intrax doesn't carry anything to correct the vibration if it occures on the vehicle. The H&R is just the safer bet if you pay full price for the springs, thats all. Intrax seems to have 50 no shimmy vs 50 shimmy on the PHP, and 33 no shimmy vs 67 shimmy on the non PHP talking to the company.

No front plates in Arizona As for the license plates they now stay with the owner, not the vehicle. So if you sell a vehicle in AZ, you keep the plates.

Looks good, tom. Did you use standard touch up paint? Has anyone had theirs chromed yet??
#18104 of 26366 Front plates by 300michael May 25, 2002 (3:10 pm)
Heres what you do. Go down to the local junk yard (or salvage yard) and get one of those flip up head lamp assemblys and mount it to your M. Kind of like James Bond's Auston Martin. Under normal driving use the flip up so the grill shows. When stopped (but officer, I do have a front plate, you probably just didn't see it, while admiring my Great looking M) hit the switch and flip it down. No poison E-mail letters please

Tom,   That engine paint on the lettering looks great. I wonder why the factory never did that? Post some details on what you did. I think I want to do mine in Platinum.
#18106 of 26366 Engine Letters by toms99 May 25, 2002 (4:11 pm)
Well, the "details" are pretty ugly! I'm a terrible painter...always make a mess! Since the letters are raised, I thought I could use a rubber roller, but the paint just dripped down the sides of the letters Soooo...I ran out to Home Depot annd got some Barbecue Grill flat black paint and sprayed over my messy mistake.   I then went to Wally Mart and got some simple gold touch-up paint. This time I just used the brush that came with the touch-up paint and tried to be as careful as possible. There were still a few minor drips that I simply scratched off with an exacto-blade tip after the paint dried.
#18107 of 26366 Dread CV joint noises by achance May 25, 2002 (4:45 pm)
I heard that unmistakable clicking and scraping sound as I turned into my driveway today. 99 non-PHP with 26k, not driven very hard. Any experiences with CV joints failing at low miles? Its still in warranty and I have a service contract, but still; I drove my LeBaron over a 100K on the original CVs.
