#18133 of 26363 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 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.

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 26363 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.

#18141 of 26363 I'm back but still peeved! by mikeyjohn May 26, 2002 (6:44 pm)
I have given myself about 24 hrs. to cool off, and have gone through hundreds of posts and have found other comments much more (so called) offensive then what I put in, by attempting a bit of humour. I know that some of you do not know what this is about because my post was wiped off prior to some of you reading it. I will now leave it alone, and just post if I have what I consider appropriate or needing assistance. I have learned a lot in the year that I have been on this board and I thank everyone for it, and I also feel good when I can contribute something to this board. I have not joined the club as I can't see a benefit here in Canada, but if any of you other Canucks can convince me I might re-consider.Thanks for the support that some of you gave me. It feels good!!!!!!!!!

Jee, that sounds just like...ahh, I'll spare you all the details. 2 months ago we traded our 2000 with 18k miles on it and it was already a rattlebox. When you say behind the dash, do you mean right behind the gauges? We had a constant rattle from there that 2 dealers couldn't/wouldn't fix, but coming from Otto, I was told it was probably a loose cross car beam screw. There's a bracket on the back of the IP that's held tight against the beam by the screw. When and if it gets loose, you'll have one heck of a rattle.   I had gotten instructions on how to get into the dash and fix it, but I never really got that far into the dismantling.   Under the body? Sound like it's in the steering/suspension or is it something underneath the floorboards?   Good luck with those pesky rattles!
