    Pic of the day

    Could be : Bond, James Bond. Although I don't think the Esprit had type of rear spoiler or front spoiler for that matter.

    So maybe not entirely the right forum, but this pic came out today of the new Alfa Milano. Is it just me or is this hideous?? I do think they lost there way.

    Have a look here: https://checkvist.com/checklists/47779?simple=true Note: I do not own a 4200, but took some tips away for the 3200 audio, which is in progress.

    Well, economic downturn, OPEC oil cuts and global warming, so they need to make choices. I get that.

    3200 Shim Removal Tool FS

    Got one myself. Essential for valve clearance adjustment, so also needed for general maintenance. Cheaper than at Hills and for sure than the OEM tool.

    Back Pain! Anyone had problems?

    Another two from yoga: Cat cow and child pose. Helps me to prolong the time in between physio therapy. On that note, mine does trigger point therapy and unties my muscles. Few sessions there, cat cow child and I'm good to go for a while. Oh and prevent stress in general.

    Daily Maserati 3200/4200/GS Picture Thread - Have you driven your beauty? Post a pic :-)

    After nine months of tinkering, took mine out for the first time to do a fuel run to our nice southerly neighbours, where fueling up feels a little less like leaving behind a pot of gold. This happely coincided with some fun twisties to the fuel station, the first nice weather we've seen this...

    Alternative parts, what everyone needs to know...

    Hi Graeme, The data is on sheet #2 in the file. I'm also in the process of updating it with some more info. Unfortunately a bit strapped for time at the moment. So stay tuned.

    Ok, so I'm driving home from work. It's already well past weekend start and I'm sitting in front of the traffic light. This light takes ages to turn, so a nice moment to quickly check the mail. Oh nice, a SM notification mail. Let's take a quick peak. Obviously focussed on the pic and the nice...

    Alternative parts, what everyone needs to know...

    I've downloaded Davy83's list a while ago and ran with it. Most of the parts I added (line61 and up) have been fitted, but not all yet: Hardy doughnut in the process of doing now.

    Frequent cold start, move a bit and stop - will this ruin my QPV?

    Just my 5 cents: you must do what you must, but at cold start the lubriction in the engine is at the least ideal point. In addition to the remarks above: When the engine is off, most of the oil will drain back into the sump. It will take a few RPM before sufficient oil pressure is built up...

    Pic of the day

    I've always wondered: there's no airfilter in there is there? If so where is it, if not how can an engine keep alive at the first sign of dust ingestion? Obiviously never owned/worked/investigated/saw one (up close).:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Maserati 3200 GT buying guide.

    Not sure it's a critical point on all 3200s, but the radiator support cross member at the bottom of the engine bay of mine is in a sorry state. Looks good from underneath the car but is corroded in between the radiator and the support. Only telltale was a bit of corrosion muck visible when...

    Drivers Side Window cracking noise when operating

    Don't know about other models, but a 3200 and 4200 do not have cables for the windows. It's a stamped steel scissor mechanism with an arced part with teeth driven by the motor. Crackling sounds can also be caused by dried out window mechanism grease on the rubbers or the mechanism (difficult to...

    3200 GT Selling Guide?

    3 years I looked for mine, let some of them pass here and there for good and nonsense reasons. Finally I just took the jump. If it didn't work out worst that can happen I would have lost money. As long as you don't spend your last dime on this or sell your house to drive one, it'll just be a...
