#18128 of 26363 valve cover letters by sdmike2 May 26, 2002 (11:48 am)
well, I went out and started the process of painting the letters on my valve covers...and I almost got to the point of painting! I chased around the house for 15 minutes looking for a suitable brush, finding that the ones in a finger nail polish bottle were about perfect. Once I had one cleaned up I had to find a container for my paint mix (the G2 caliper paint has two parts...paint and an activator). Once I cut up a plastic cup for use, I cleaned my letters with alcohol to remove any grease and oil. I then put the 4 parts of paint in the cup, and was going for the 1 part activator when I realized I COULDN'T GET THE CAP OFF! I even tried channel lock pliers! Well, so much for the leftover caliper paint. I guess I'll try again some other day.

#18130 of 26363 Painting raised letters. by kosh_2258 May 26, 2002 (12:11 pm)
Here's a trick that works:   Get a firm foam paint pad and find a paint, like acrylic art paint, that is quite thick. Apply it evenly to the pad and then press down lightly on the letters and lift straight up. It should leave a nice, even, clean coat of paint on the top of the letters. After the paint drys, spray them with a coat of flat clear coat like Krylon.
#18131 of 26363 Rattles by mawg May 26, 2002 (12:11 pm)
I have a 2000 300M with 68000 miles on it. I recently have an irritating rattle coming from underneath the car, and also one from behind the dash. (not necessarily at the same time) The damn thing is I cant just take it to the dealer because its intermit ant. It only happens sometimes, usually around 40 miles and hour when the overdrive lockup comes in and engine is in a low rpm, heavy load situation. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas?

try posting your question at the 300M Club message board. Try the complaints/problems area. There are some users that have more mechanical expertise than the average bear. http://pub88.ezboard.com/b300menthusiastsclub

E-mailed you a picture of my valve covers with the Inferno red touch up paint. I found that the best way to do it is as follows.   1) Clean with a degreasing agent. 2) Paint the top of the letters white first to give the red a good base to go on to. 3) Wait a day before applying a second coat or take your M out for a good ride to cure the paint. 4) In between coats sand with a 400 grit paper to smooth it out.   You also need a steady hand and it's a lot easier to see what you doing if you have full sunlight shining down on the covers when your applying it

#18135 of 26363 Air-Charger Installed! by toms99 May 26, 2002 (3:58 pm)
OK, it's taken me a while to catch up with you, my 300M brothers, but here's the K&N AirCharger on my 99LHS:     The red wire enclosed in the vinyl wrap is the power wire to the Infinity Basslink (gee, doesn't everyone have one of these by now??)   The install was simple, but I ran into a couple of quirky problems. I'll post them later in case anyone else wnats to take the plunge!   Oh...BTW...Any fellow LHS lurkers here...this bolts right up, even though the LHS is not "officially" listed as one of the cars it is made for. If you think there are few aftermarket parts for the M, there are even less for the LHS. However 99% of the M stuff fits right into the LHS.

When do you get the vibration? On any throttle, or just at full throttle or just at certian speeds? I thought I had a vibration at first it truned out to be the roadway. After a mile it cleared up even after hard acceleration. I did get some PHP struts and will mount them to check out the ride (see if it improves the speed bumbs. I am also thinking of trying just the rear tranny spacer and then each spacer in turn to see if it affects the ride. I also have to redo my Hood scoop duct to gain the extra 10mm the spacers will take away.
