#18131 of 26365 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
#18133 of 26365 Sdmike-Valve covers by uxca300m May 26, 2002 (3:01 pm)
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 26365 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.

Any news on the HID conversion kits yet. The month is practicly over and have not heard anything yet. I just reground the hood on the fog lamps to change the pattern. I wanted more side light (like the cornering lights on the older lux, cars like Caddys and Lincolns). Now I took off the Aux lights I had (I lost one set the first day after lowering) on the car. It is set so that it does not blind the oncomming traffic although the side traffic will see the light (so to speak), pun intended. I am thinking of regrinding the front lo beams hood to see if it will increase the lower light level.
#18139 of 26365 The side vinal door guards by 300michael May 26, 2002 (5:22 pm)
I am thinking of raising the side vinal door guards. Now that the car is lowered the door moldings offer even less protection. I am thinking of raising them about 5" and using double side tape to reattach them. That way they would help protect against SUV's and Trucks too.
#18140 of 26365 Some people get spring fever by 300michael May 26, 2002 (5:23 pm)
I get Mod fever, go figure. Mod, Mod, Mod.
