@@jetspeed9907 thanks for the support!

@@RaphYeck Thanks! Yeah those clips make all the difference.

No problem! Yes the sun-visors will eventually sag and the window switches may not be a problem until much later, you're lucky if you haven't run into them yet!

They're an absolute blast to drive.

Glad you enjoyed it

I am not sure why the subtitles are off. I'll have to take a look at that and see if i can do anything to fix or improve this. I don't honestly remember if the 16mm socket is used for the Ferrari 360 drain plug, it's been a long time since i've worked on a ferrari 360. As for the spark plug torque spec on the maserati, it is 10Nm or about 7.5 Ft/lbs. I rounded up to 8 ft/lbs. As for the spark plug gap, the factory gap calls for 0.025 inches or 0.635 mm. I updated the video description for this as well. Thank you for reminding me to do so and thanks for watching!

Thank you for your reply The plug tightening torque is 10Nm. Plug clearance is 0.635mm. Thank you for your reference my explanation was not enough My Ferrari 360 has a plug wrench 16mm socket. So Maserati also has a 16 mm plug socket? My car is M139 Quattroporte GTS Up until videos from about 3 months ago, you could choose from a variety of subtitles such as Japanese and English, but the current videos have all subtitles disabled 😭 Please note that the document may be unnatural because I converted it with Google Translate.

The car rips pretty decent in sport mode and the exhaust note just keeps you coming back for more!

Emissions related stuff?

Thats not too terrible. I've seen much worse quotes for an oil change. I think I ended up paying about $160 or so all said and done with Molygen New gen 5w40 synthetic and the OEM Maserati oil filter. This didn't include the crush washer like seen in the video, however thats pretty minimal in cost overall. Just depends on if you want to get your hands dirty or if you have the space to do the required work.

Yes, it changes the exhaust note quite a bit in sport mode. In normal driving mode its almost as quiet as stock. See here for the sport cats: www.urutuauto.com/shop/p/x-pipe-6e63c You can buy JUST the sport cats on ebay through Urutu auto for a lower price also without the x-pipe which is what I ended up doing.

@@ljames85jr unfortunately I had a lot of wind noise as my microphone setup wasn’t great, it was either the music or wind noise basically. I’ll see what I can nail down for the next one and try to keep it more raw.

@@Fix-it-Tribe No worries I understand can be a nuisance. Wasn't being rude just wanted to hear yours again with the urutu cat fitted. I drove a ZF box yesterday and still sounds great but my MC shift is again a different experience of noise.

oh no worry at all, didn’t take it as rude. Yeah it’s a different animal compared to the MC shift for sure.

Thanks!

Insta360 X4 with their triple suction cup car mount. Works well but i'm still figuring out a few things on it. I dropped a link to it in the description. Great 360 cam!

Thats a fair question. My trunk does have the 12v socket but I already had the battery tender kit which came with its own connections. So I opted just to use the components that came with the battery tender kit instead of buying the 12v socket adapter and a battery charger that would work with that 12v adapter. You could however do it either way.

Yeah, atleast with OEM you know it will fit right. Sometimes you can find a deal using aftermarket but you absolutely take a chance.

Thanks! I Hope so too.

No problem!!

Yep, agreed. Shop towels in the holes or one at a time is absolutely a good approach here. Better safe than sorry if you have any lose fasteners hanging around at all or debris.

You would think they wouldn't cheap out on something like that. I don't know that I would have been able to repair it as a few pieces were missing from the cover. Might have been able to fab something new if i had some material. Either way totally possible though as you mentioned with plastic welding and the right materials.

Glad it was helpful!

Honestly, don't get too hung up on the brand of oil. As long as its 5w40 and a high quality synthetic, generally this is all you need.

Not a bad idea! Let me see if i can work something together. The car does have a unique history and its pretty impressive for what it is in the development time it took to put this car together.

@@Fix-it-Tribe COOL ! I like the way you said : "Not a bad idea !", you should have said : "Good idea !" 🤨😜 Let me know if you need.

I have trouble close the trunk after I accidentally pull the trunk release now my trunk won’t lock

@@jackvalinetine4963 Hard to know what the issue might be here. May be worth checking the locking mechanism or latch for the trunk itself. Also check on maseratlilfe.com forums. You might find more information there from other users if you are not already on the forums.

Thank you for the support! Yes, I think it's important to try to pass on the passion and working with your hands to the next generation despite if it's cars or anything else. It seems like it's becoming less and less that this is happening, and working with your hands can be very universal to many different things.

@@NexisGamesATX Yep, that was my thought as well. While fixing might as well upgrade.

No problem!

Thanks! Just take your time and prep it all up front and install is pretty easy with the right tools/supplies.

No worry, will be posting a video hopefully soon driving the car, giving a much better view and definitely capture the exhaust note more so.

Thanks! Just trying to share in hopes it helps others.

Thanks for watching!

Yep, not a terribly expensive fix. As for the floormats, I got them from witamats.com

They all start somewhat loud. If you keep sport mode off then the muffler exhaust valves stay closed and quiet it down after a minute. I’ll try to do a driving video with some new equipment here soon so you can hear from the outside in sport mode.

I always have sport mode off on start up but as the wife describes it's like a jet engine at 5.45am . Do actually feel really bad about it. Wondering how to make a temporary muffler to get out of the neighbourhood. If not I will probably have to sell up. Looking forward to it enjoying your videos 👍

Look into a muffler valve controller. I think by default it opens the valves on startup for a brief bit and then closes them for startup purposes to give it that loud startup (dont quote me on this but that what it seems like it does). You might check to see if you can find a way to control those valves to keep them closed and then flip a switch to let them operate normally once you get out of the neighborhood. Worth a bit of research before selling. Thanks for the support! Looking forward to making more videos and posting more stuff!

Sounds even better in person. I'll try to get more footage soon from the rear of the car and driving.

I believe factory recommends 12/yr 75K miles for spark plugs. I'm not close to that on mileage alone, but since my GT is a 2013 that would put me at 2025 timeframe for plug change with the 12 years. I'll add it to the todo list and put together a video. Thanks for the request!

Your wish is my command! th-cam.com/video/iorv5IHNqLU/w-d-xo.html Hopefully this helps and gives you a bit more insight!

Thank you! Cheers!

@@HISVOICE4LIFE Thanks! No check engine lights. The adapters that came with the sport cats that screw into the O2 sensor bungs made all the difference here.

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback.

Glad to help!

Thanks!

I installed the OEM brackets back on. I had to bend them ever so slightly, but honestly not much. They mostly fit right back on.

Yep! After installing it, its a good idea to charge it up all the way and then let it die completely before recharging it again.
