I run at 10% over spec on the fronts and you can easily go to +20% all round. I find this helps with the cornering performance on the standard 3200 with 18 inch wheels, which is not great, but any higher becomes harsh and noisy - personal preference though!.
A pure highway costs peanuts and gives good results if well installed. You can also put it in your pocket and use it with headphones when you reach your destination.
I agree with Steve, 6 months off the road has done no harm - if your garage is dry. In fact it gives you the time to do some serious preventative maintenance and address all those niggles and nice to fix issues. I just fire it up once a month and move it up and down the drive a few times. It...
I'm pleased you guys can enjoy your cars year round. I live in the back of beyond and the roads become undriveable for the 3200 over the winter so it has to hibernate.
Yep, same running costs as a F355 but at a fraction of the initial purchase price. The fact is that if the going rate for a 3200 was £40K most people would not baulk at the running costs. BUT if you look at the prices of 3200's outside of the UK you start to see that it is the Brits that have...
For me the 3200 is the last real Maserati and the last true manual - but certainly not the best all round drive. When it gets to a point that the yearly service/maintenance costs ourstrip the cars value it will probably be time to move on to another marque, none of the later coupe models float...
I use a Pure Highway add on unit on my 5 series - don't listen to music in the 3200 as it detracts from the engine note which I never get bored of! It also doubles up as a portable system. Quality is good and with a built in system like mine upgrading the head unit is not an option - just make...
Was this through Eurospares? Main stealers or you local indy should have stock of service items like that. I have found Eurospares do not have a comprehensive stock and take some weeks to source some parts. Emblem have helped me out by optaining parts from their sources on my behalf, generally...
I have had a pdf copy for some time and shared some information via PM if you know what I mean. I had it in jpeg form so it was simple to convert to .pdf. Scanning all that paper? Stop for gods sake and PM me!
3200 to 4200? I think my comment would be - why? Both cars are so different if you like one, the other would probably be a let down - unless you chose the wrong one in the first place! 3200 to GanSport I can relate to but the only thing that will stop me buying another Maserati is the lack of...
Yep. Dorchester, Dorset it is. 3 Maserati's in the backwater that is Dorchester, we can almost fill a Dorset Car Park!
I'll PM you both when I'm back from holls and my knock sensors have been replaced.
A nice example. Mine is also with Emblem, almost the same colour combination but not the AC - picking it up today so there will be two happy 3200 owners tearing up the south coast this weekend!
