Gents!!!
I thought this place emailed you if had a reply to post?!
Ah well.
Big thank you guys(^^,)
love my car to bits as quite possibly shows.
Had for 5 years this October and dear god have I spent alot of
Time/money/blood/sweat/tears and alot and I mean alot of time sourcing
Parts and bugging Mazzer garages ;)

Stupid thing is, and annoyingly as it's my own research.
Fuel system on these cars are that shared by cosworths, and parts, air temp coolant sensors , filters pumps cost peanuts.
Discs ( brembos) are from gsf and £60!!! Each all original parts as brakes are off/ shared with BMW M3s hence if people look at their calipers
You'll notice odd rust squares, these are remains of M3 badges being ground off haha

@ marc
I'm an Oxford boy as from moors in kidlington, parents still there, and I now live near Thame,
Now, that QP, were you at Stanford?
As there was a spotless one there
Ref events , I was going to one this weekend at brieze, organised by a member here in Abingdon with his 3200

But, my Mazzer has peeed me off, as off road for 7 weeks as it's over fuelling, and I missed stanford hall:(
Went, but in my 180, as I need an SD1 diagnostic tester or a 228 or 430 to put my ecus in to see if gives same issue and I'll get them fixed
As replaced all sensors, and I mean ALL
Even fuel reg, hence selling bits in classifieds:)

But I'll def give you a shout once it's on road and meet up!

Ref- GT, alas sadly not mine, best friends dads new toy after my telling about mazzers:)
He loves it and wants first dibs if I sell mine!

To be honest, it's a 94 last bye bye of model , with shamal lights, wheels, rear valance, front spolier all done on SE as a last stand.
And the bond I have with my car, I honestly unless silly money offered, I'd rather keep it.

And please if you guys want tips on what wax/cleaner/ compound to use/ inbox me and I'll happily tell
As I use and only use maguiars
And bless the ultimate compound !!
Forget that t-cut, use this and god bless - clay!!
Never used but now swear by it so so easy/cheap/ and results to die for

Paint- so so so easy!!
Frosts wrinkle plus - either bake parts for 5 mins in oven @ 150c then spray and wait to dry
Or- as in my pics, throttle housing/ coils, take off car, mask, spray, sisters hairdryer and taadaa!!
Dry wrinkled paint and a sexy engine bay in roughly 30 mins
No excuses guys;)

I'll pop more pics up tomoro as in Friday night
And again guys big thank you's for compliments
Also feel free for any advice!
Trust me, ive got new Ap racing clutch/ Brembos all round/ stripped and fitted gearbox(1st reverse syncri shattered) rebuilt top of engine ( bored)
Etc etc so now know silly parts from cars that maserati dont really want you to know that are the same!! And cost erm well let's say my clutch cost £114!! From Ap ;)

Till tommorow
Kindest regards
Marc

I think at this stage....car 10 plus yrs old........you're doing your damnest to keep her looking fab and more to the point on the road, why not post up the alternatives....Maserati have shown to date no interest whatsoever regarding keeping older, less valuable cars on the road, please post them up on the alternative parts thread!
