    A video about fixing my 2008 Granturismo.

    The sound we hear from the exhaust is a pressure wave from the pulse exiting the combustion chamber making it to the end of pipe in some form. One of the interesting thing about pressure waves is that they are reflected back by a significant change in cross section in the tube they are...

    Warning for anyone buying a GranCabrio

    Cold Start Noise

    Cold Start Noise

    You can hear them all of the time, but perhaps you are just getting used to it.

    What have you done to your Maserati today?

    Some 017 batteries are 190mm tall - it seems you need a 017 battery which is 175mm tall. https://www.gsfcarparts.com/za042637?auto_apply_coupon=ROAD10&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4cX93vGIhgMVAkxBAh1fEQQDEAQYASABEgLZ7_D_BwE

    QP/GT front subframes - the truth

    Maserati 4200/GS Unsilenced X-Pipe Wanted

    Allegedly the US spec Gransports in the USA had an x-pipe without a resonator as per the parts list. But they are so rare that a picture of the part with that number does not exist on the internet.

    Handbrake shoes

    I’ve popped this into the Classic Maserati tech section for context.

    The markets call it GBP. BPS is basis points for interest rates.
