i paid £2600 but realistically a similar one would be £4000+

and in a drag race i dont believe many maserati's would catch it til your doing 120+

I dont like any japanese fast cars, maybe the GTR but not many

Not personal just here they are all owned by boy racers and they annoy everyone....

well thanks for the few nice comments lol

but i agree, that yes it is a 'boy racers' car- but you seem to forget, i am classed as a boy racer my self, so you are correct :)

i am looking out for some black wheels :) 16's instead of the 15's.

i have fitted a new grill and clear side repeaters today, and a new ignition coil so its running great now.

I've always liked those things, ever since I first saw one on the RAC rally. Very nice, although their image has taken a bit of a pounding over the years thanks to chavs and boy racers. A very quick wet-weather toy. Good choice!

done lots of this car now, best thing was putting the interior back to standard (it was stripped out with harnesses!) , it has been my every day runner for the past month, and i dont want to jinx it, but its been bloody fantastic! lol, very fast, quite economical, and has been very reliable.

now im back in the maserati, i have to say its far too quiet, got so used to the noisy pulsar! here is a video i got in the pulsar through the dartford tunnel :)

In that case, get some straight throughs on the Maser, go on, you know you want to! We are fitting some noisy pipes to Matts spyder this morning and I am sure something similar could be done to a 3200. It might be worth ringing Marios at Autoshield to pick his brains, I'm pretty sure he has done similar stuff to make 3200s sound better. It can be, and should be, done!

I think, Beau, that there's a by-law in Southend which states that any car capable of sounding like the Gods bellowing should be adjusted accordingly. You owe it to yourself, to your car and to your town. You know you do. Good luck!
