    Just the pictures i think mate, there's no spacers. Standard untouched car minus the Larini exhaust and the alloys painted a dark gunmetal :)

    Maserati 4200 GT Coupe

    Cheers guys :) Yeah i'm a bit of deviant when it comes to car cleaning. Never happy till it blinds me when looking at the paintwork lol Looking for a quick sale so its priced for exactly that, dropped it to a solid round figure of 12k. Hoping it'll go to a good home very soon :)

    Cheers buddy, bit of Meguiars crystal polish and 3 coats of carnauba wax to protect the paintwork over winter and to give it a nice deep shine. Brings the colour right out :)

    4200 manifolds

    Do what i did mate, gut out the pre cats and move the sensors from those cats to your main cats further back. 2 less restrictions which allow it to rev more freely without decatting, meaning no dramas with MOT plus you've halved the restriction. Viola :)

    I love projects, although it probably sounds chavy i took a standard civic type r and turned it into a very handy track car with the power to weight ratio of a DB9 which day to day on a motorway would upset some very exotic cars. Its great spending time and effort on something you love and it...

    Yeah its a Larini :) Yeah dem big thumbs up, very reasonably priced too. To be fair the car was in good condition so it didn't need much work but little niggles like the heat shield causing noise and the plastic under tray under the front bumper coming away got sorted. Only needed new handbrake...

    So it was service and MOT time this week so got the car booked into Shiltech. Cracking people and top job done, sorted a few niggles like the handbrake shoes that were shot and a few other minor tweaks and the car sailed through its MOT. Seeing as it stayed dry today i thought id give her a good...

    True that :) Did think of getting a custom turbo fitted to my 4200 GT but I'm not sure i need 600bhp and the engine bay lacks a bit of room for a decent sized charge cooler ;)

    The octane rating refers to the fuel's resistance to pre-ignition (knock) High-octane fuel doesn't neccessarily contain any more energy than regular, it allows the engine to produce more power by running improved boost/mixture/timing settings. Any car with a knock sensor (if the compression...

    Agreed, even more recent with the FN2 models where we keep the standard oem ECU and just use Hondata Flashpro and away you go, Save your map and tweak whenever you make a hardware change such as intake or exhaust manifold, catback, air intake, cams, throttle body and so on. Even on a standard...

    Oh and as for fuel octane, if youve mapped your car when it had 95 octane in it then filling up with 97 or 99 will give you no power increase. If you mapped your car with 99 octane then youd get more power than mapped on 95. If you mapped your car on 99 then filled up with 95 you'll have less...
