    Assetto Corsa register

    Hi, at last I'm back in the 3200gt club after being without one for 4 or 5 years. I now have Assetto Corsa gta number 45. Chassis number ZAMAA38D000004838. It's grigio touring and 39,000 miles and looking pretty good for its age.

    1999 v maserati 3200 gt v8 turbo coupe damaged salvage

    I can live with people missing bits out...but suggesting that it was stolen 8 years ago and that is all, sounds like more than missing a bit out to me......or perhaps they are expecting us to believe that it was stolen and damaged in 2003 and not fixed until this year! That sounds more of a lie...

    1999 v maserati 3200 gt v8 turbo coupe damaged salvage

    I've brought it to the attention of autotrader as as a possible fraudulent advert. I've no problem with people selling damaged repaired, so long as their customer knows what they are buying.

    3200 Battery reset???

    Hi Lee, Mine spends a lot of time stored up whilst I work away. I always disconnect the battery rather than have it run flat due to the alarm etc. Whenever I've reconnected it I've had no warning lights, just the fact that the sidelights always come on as soon as I connect the battery. Very...

    3200/4200 Brake Discs a possible solution...

    Last summer I took delivery of OE lambda sensors. I sourced them from Andrew Page motor factors. Bosch part number 00258 003 819 (-760) The receipt said 'Lambda sensor Ferrari various'. The cost was £117 for the pair inclusive of VAT (£49 each plus VAT I think). This was last year when vat was...

    Brake dust coloured wheels

    Thanks chaps...I agree a bit lighter would look better with the colour of my car. I love the colour of your wheel with the car Miles, maybe a bit dark for mine. Sounds like getting the wheels painted will cost more than the wheels cost...hey ho.

    Brake dust coloured wheels

    In the summer I drove a lot of miles in a short time and didn't have the opportunity to clean the car. The bright silver wheels became more and more grey and looked brilliant (except the brake dust made them all matt). I liked it so much that I've bought a spare set of wheels that I want to get...

    Steering Wheel Cover Fix How To

    I did my steering wheel last week and it's now much improved. I eneded up using evo stick rather than pva, as I had some in the cupboard. Using a hair dryer really helped to soften the leather and make it more stretchy. Of course having short hair didn't help the process....I've never owned a...

    whats your mileage??

    My 2000 3200Gt has done 52000 miles now. 4500 of these in the last month....absolutely fault free when I drove it through the alps and down to Italy a few weeks ago. Now it's hibernating as I'm working away again. I keep it in a bloody expensive plastic bag with cans of dessicant to keep...

    3200 Lambda Guide

    OK so I've now swapped mine. The passenger side was very easy from under the car (on a ramp), even though you cannot even see it from above. There is certainly no need to take the exhaust off for that one! The drivers side would have been very easy from above, if only it wasn't so tight. I...

    how to kill a Gransport clutch

    Ah the joys of living in the Middle East. When I lived in Qatar, every single night all the young guys with too much money and nothing to do would do donuts on the main highway just outside where I lived. Hour after hour of it, interrupted by occasional stops when the police felt they had to...

    3200 Starter Motor

    Thanks for adding the pic Matt and adding the quick reference bit at the top.. As a double act we could work for Haynes. Mind you, I won't be writing any more of course...because it won't be going wrong thank you very much!
