    Design drawing poster

    Hey guys I took some of this from another member who posted up some engine sketches and combined them with a few others I had found to make a new poster for my garage. The file is large because I plan to print a 3x4' or bigger poster but you are all welcome to use it. I think it came out...

    DBW Test/Video review

    The verdict; A solid upgrade and worth the effort. The video should give you an idea of how quickly the car engages shifts with the DBW installed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JDqoZsHvtc

    Custom Android Stereo + Amplifier INSTALLED!

    Thought I would make a post for this so it would easily Google-able. I recently completed a complete re-do and update of the audio system in my 4200. I now have hands free calling, streaming audio, wifi, gps and great sound quality in my "old" 2002. The first video shows how I modified the...

    Fixed key fob but now doors continue to lock.

    So I figured out why my keyless entry wasn't working. I found the control box in the rear was unplugged. I plugged it back in and the remote works to open the trunk (boot) and lock the doors. When I try to unlock, I get a minimal effort from both doors but neither unlock even for a second...

    How-to video on changing brake pads

    I recently changed the pads on my Spyder and shot a video to help anyone that may be leery of doing it themselves. Very straightforward job. Hope this helps someone save a few bucks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBzYq6i4234

    Work around for dash illumination with custom stereo

    My car came with a custom Alpine stereo and the original NIT was not included so my ability to pinout the connections and reverse engineer a way to make the center stack light up was not possible. I decided to take a page out of the Corvette design handbook and place a LED in the rear view...

    Top won't go down and it's not the typical problem

    Boy, this car is testing me... Went to drop the top today and the rear portion unscrewed itself and lifted up 90 degrees as it normally does. The hydro pump that raises that portion turned off and that's it. No more movement, no noises, no nothing aside from the flashing top light on the...

    Installing aftermarket alarm/keyless entry

    Hello, My car only came with one original (blue) key and one key the previous owner had made as a backup but it does not have a remote built in. The remote functions on the factory key are not working at all. I've tested the batteries and even tested the circuit board of the key itself to...

    Interior color change and updates

    Well I'm not sure how you all will take to someone making significant cosmetic changes to their Maserati but I had to do it. I loved everything about the car when I bought it last week EXCEPT the blue interior. A little blue is fine but this was A LOT of blue. I started by dying the leather...

    Hello, Looking for some direction on solving a problem that just popped up. I bought this car earlier in the week and everything worked as it should. Yesterday I lost all the memory related functions of the drivers seat and total loss of control over the power mirrors. The lumbar on the...

    New owner / Restoring buttons

    Hello, I just picked up a 2002 4200 yesterday. I scored a great deal on it because it needs a little TLC. Mechanically it's in great shape but cosmetically it needs a bit of work. I started by dealing with the interior trim and thought I would share what I did with you all. The black...
