    At last my 4200 6MT GS Stylee

    Doh! I was waiting for someone to comment.... Yep - not sure they're right. I previously had Pirelli on the 18" rims and the 19's came with some knackered yokohama's so had to change. Unfortunately and for whatever reason, there's a shortage of Pirellis and so the next option was Michelin Pilot...

    At last my 4200 6MT GS Stylee

    Hi Emtee - I did originally have the 25mm rear spacers and honestly it looked crazy - pushed the wheels out far too much. Personally I think the 15mm's bring the wheels nicely in line with the arches. Regarding the back right corner, in fact I just had to check the heights cos I need to report...

    At last my 4200 6MT GS Stylee

    Hi Matt - many thanks - v different! Actually the interior is a bit of a dilemma - I have in mind to change the rather dull grey to a mix of either red (tasteful I mean) and black or tan and black. Although a complete interior refurb here in Dubai with Italian leather, hand stitched etc is...

    At last my 4200 6MT GS Stylee

    Apologies it's been awhile, but at last the saga of the hit and run tw*t at the golf club and the ensuing battle with the insurance company is over - my car is back! All in its been off the road for about 2 months and so glad to have her back. Having convinced the insurance company to replace...

    Found a breaker GS in the UAE

    You're right Andy on the fact there's not much left... but here's where I'm going with it.. I've already received damage to the front of my GT - fortunately just the bumper and undershield section; it's beyond repair and so the insurance is paying out for a new GS front ordered from Eurospares...

    Found a breaker GS in the UAE

    Well I guess if you drive a car like this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ-gk8Bpd6Y&p=CDA66052B5B3027E&playnext=1&index=48 or like this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AHRq4uwITk Then no surprise this could be the end result... JP and I visited the breaker GS this...

    FD DBW Module

    Hi Aliquot, All, Thanks for the tip on the switches for the DBW - you are correct and no I don't have the ECU mod installed. Unfortunately I was going on what the garage that did the installation told me but have since confirmed with Jeff that its only the one switch that has effect. Still the...

    FD DBW Module

    Sorry to confuse.... 2 switches - mounted side by side. 1. Off Off - normal 2. On Off - agressive 3. On On - very agressive I guess its the same as yours.. And I retract my "Double OMG" - obviously I'm just a wus :sad1:

    FD DBW Module

    A timely posting - having bought my DBW a few months back, I have at last had it fitted - picked the car up today. Double OMG!! Mine is actually configured for the 6-speed manual rather than CC but still a marked improvement in power pick up - its truly blistering! Thank god for some decent...

    FD Wheel Spacers

    Hi Steve, Apologies I didn't get this to you sooner otherwise I'd have posted some pics. I do have the spacers installed but have just dropped the car at the garage and will be out of the country for the next 9 days. Anyway - I would highly recommend if not for handling but more the look...

    Steering Question

    Hi All, Actually JP I still haven't got the springs done yet, still sat in my office along with the DBW. Maybe its just anticipation that's brought this feeling on. Not sure if anything has really changed - apart from driving a Mazda 6 for a couple of weeks! The damage is still yet to be fixed...

    Steering Question

    Hi All, Now I'm not sure of this is me having forgotten how the car drives or whether something is wrong...... I've found lately or at least its just occurred to me that the steering feels light and a little 'wobbly' at speed. By this I mean, whereas I though the steering response...

    It doesn't just rain - it pours...

    Absolutely no issue on the hijacking and all responses and empathy warmly welcomed. Clearly there is quite some issue with the window mechanism and some interesting points noted over this and other threads. My concern now is whether I can access the window just by removing the door card. I did...

    It doesn't just rain - it pours...

    As a follow on to my issue of the dropped drivers side window - I at least need to get it back up in a closed or almost closed position. I desperately need to get the car booked in for the other damage but as mentioned, the registration is due (kind of like an MOT here in Dubai, but not so...

    It doesn't just rain - it pours...

    Many thanks for the messages against my front bumper ding. Yesterday I was all ready to go and get the annual registration done, insurance sorted, police report for my bumper damage and low and behold the drivers side door fell in! As some of you know I'm in Dubai, so driving home last...

    No Respect...

    Its been a while since I made any postings - and somewhat unfortunate that on this occasion it's to seek solace and sympathy over a small bit of bad news. A couple of weeks ago, whilst parked at the golf club, some 'tosser' reversed into the front of my 4200, dinged it and drove off without...

    4200 Maintenance Manual

    Hi there - as indicated both here and the US forum - yes it is lacking some detail. The parts list is limited (although I count on Eurospares for the bits I've needed so far). Also the hyperlinks within the workshop manual itself are not present. I've contacted Trade Bit but no answer so far...

    4200 Maintenance Manual

    I'd just like to say thanks for the inputs and suggestions on my request. At a reasonable cost of $30, I've acquired the maintenance manual and some other gems of Maserati communication online from Trade Bit. Whilst no big issues on the car, I hope this will go some way to assisting my 'indy'...
