    EasyMAS Diagnostic Release

    This is really a shame. I was very excited for this to be released but that was quickly stomped out. It's clearly priced for a Maserati service shop and not owners. The pricing is high to begin with but I would have considered it a solid investment if not for the ridiculous annual fee. Good...

    Evo anyone..?

    I love it. I always thought the proportions of the lights are a little off with the narrow front grill. Not bad but just a hair off. This balances the front end perfectly IMO.

    Glove box rattle - 4200 facelift

    You can adjust the whole door by loosening the 4? screws at the bottom hinge and adjusting the door. This can either apply more pressure to the latch or less depending on if you move it towards the front of the car or back. Either way, it will change the latch alignment and most definitely...

    Design drawing poster

    You all should be able to click on one of the two pics in the OP. From there it should take you to my IMGUR page where you can download the full resolution (26mb).

    Design drawing poster

    Oh man! I didn't even notice that but I guess it's not a big deal for me anyway. Thank you all for the positive feedback, aside from the 3200 sketch I'm glad you all like it!

    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...

    4200 Spyder - Seems Expensive.

    Well that's a lot of car for $12,500 in my opinion.

    The piece that actuates the switch can be adjusted as well.

    EASYMAS Diagnostic - Beta

    The ability to adjust the clutch engagement point is a make or break for any tool in my opinion. That's a critical function that should be adjusted as the clutch wears but no one does it because of the hole in the solutions market that I pray this could fill. I believe adding this function (if...

    Smoking...!

    Not remotely accurate. There's plenty of documented instances where this can happen once in a blue moon due to different expansion rates and no real problem.

    Smoking...!

    Mine has done it once and only once since I've owned it. It lit up white smoke like the Vatican was announcing a new pope on startup. This can happen and not indicate any serious problem based on the expansion rates of the block, sleeves and piston since all three are of different metals. Oil...

    4200 Speaker upgrade

    You will need a crossover but any decent component speaker set will come with one. You'll want to use the new speaker crossover anyway as it's matched to the set and cuts off at the proper frequency. Space isn't an issue either since the xover is most likely just going to be an inline cap and...

    Uncomfortable seat belt

    I'm 6'2 and it's comfortable for me but it's right on the edge. I can see how another 2" of height could make it tough. I've tried the pad/covers in the past on other cars but the bulk of it actually made the problem worse. The best option would be to fabricate some sort of guide that raises...

    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

    Maserati Ashtray Script

    Well I finally got around to getting them installed. One is on the ashtray and the other worked out perfectly on my new screen to give it a factory look. Thanks again Miket!

    DBW install, New shift paddles and steering wheel

    I was PM'ed asking for additional details on the front engine cover seal replacement. As I began to type it out it seemed like it deserved to be posted so others could also reference it in the future so here ya go...
