Hi Ben, Thanks for the info, my 420 came from singapore with all the water valve and hoses removed ... as they do up there they also made the aircond manual...
Yeah, dreaming again but I figure its possible and cheap enough. Of course there's a few good reasons to give it a try: weight distribution, quicker shifts and...
Hey Mike, Sounds like you have been having some fun sorting it all out. It's the same old story really, your always better off replacing old hoses with new...
Hey Reg Great that we have another experienced member back on here! On the wheel front, sorry mate. Nothing on this side of the world. The wheels that came on...
I think the hardest part of the cambiocorsa would be getting the clutch working properly, and making all the rev matching between gearchanges and whatnot work....
Hi Reg, I have a set of 15" 2 piece Gotti wheels that I used for the track with my 84 coupe. They're not show quality just sprayed silver. But I also have a...
Well Charles, this is Nick's specialty so he's the one to let you know how complicated it would be. The clutches for those boxes don't last all that long. I...

I have 2 problems with my 91 Karif and I am hoping they are related. A little while ago I had the engine rebuilt, along with a new ceramic clutch, I also had...
Hi Keith You can fudge a sensor by unplugging it and putting in a resistor from the local electronic shop. Have a search in the forum archives and you can find...
... Typical behavior when the position of the throttle sensor is not adjusted. Or when it's worn. Also check contacts of the sensor and the female connector. ...
Hey! In my view, getting the Cambio gearbox to work would be a huge task. Not saying it's impossible, but beeing all too short of time, I wouldn't even think...
Hey! I don't think the idle motor has anything to do with this. Check the tps sensor as Alexis says, and make sure the distributor alignment and distributor...
Hi Charles, I guess you saw the transaxle on ebay :) One of biggest problems is the driveshaft. Despite classic rear-driven cars transaxle DS revs same speed...
No didnt see one in Ebay but David A has a couple. First time I heard of an Alpha shaft breaking. I was mechanic at an Alpha/Maserati dealer for 2 years. The...
Wow Alexis! I dadn't heard that aabout the Alfa GTV or GTV6? You guys have a lot more of they than we do over here though. My GTV6 had a horrible gearbox...
Balancing standard driveshafts is enough of a problem on our cars so can you imagine cuting/welding that one and then having it spin at 7000 rpm. Gulp. Bob S. ...
Best outcome would be if it ended up being the right length to begin with. But then again, I wouldn't think that it would be too hard to get a shorter one made...
Hi Guys....happy new year to you all! Yeah, this really is a massive job...if not impossible without some serious engineering/software knowledge. From a...
A less expensive and ultimately more satifying solution is to just buy a 2002-2004 Coupe here in the USA (now in the mid $20k) and leave the 224 alone. Also,...
Yes but ..... at the track I'd certainly like to have a cambiocorsa on my GOC! Not having it is a tremendous competitive disadvantage when you're running with...
I think the difference is that in Europe Alfetta/GTV/75/90 cars have been just regular cars for many years. The 75 are still used just as every day cars. So we...
I think the main problem of all these modern cars is the weight. It's just a waste of energy to make move 1700kg while you could do the same with 1100kg....
The 2002-2007 coupes were not lightweights that's for sure. The Trofeo series were not good race cars. The new Maserati's are all porkers as well. They are...
I'm afraid that no Lotus ever qualified except on the performance aspect. It ain't a GT or comfortable and only a couple of smaller people can fit. From all...
