  1. Great info on here, thanks for bumping. When we come to the realization that these things are just glorified Audis, maintenance and repairs become a lot more manageable. About a year ago, my AC compressor seized and the replacement from Lambo was extremely expensive. The owner of the shop doing the repair (Elite Motorsports - member on here - great shop in Long Island for everything Lambo) said that we could use an Audi A4/S4 compressor and it was the same exact thing but significantly cheaper. It has been working great since, and I am glad I didn't fork over a ton of money for the Lambo part.
  2. Wow awesome job. Would love to have a manual G one day. Never driven one, maybe one day if Kai is nice ^
  3. Congrats, great spec! Love that piping and all the carbon.
  4. Beautiful car. Happens to me on occasion though. Restarting the car makes the light go off, and the front end lift always works perfect when I need it to. I chalk it up to it being Italian and finicky.
  5. I always run Potenza S04 on my G. No complaints and readily available.
  6. What a beauty. Jealous of the transmission, wish I had a manual. Ironically my daily driver VW is a 5-spd, then my fun car is an automatic. Needs to be the other way around. E-gear is the thing I hate most.
  7. Mine stopped working a few weeks ago. Shop told me the compressor blew up and there was a big hole in the side. I didn't believe it until I saw it. They recommended replacing with an Audi part, and now it works great again.
  8. Where did you get to test out those 3 cars? Sounds like a sweet deal. And nice ride, congrats and welcome.
  9. Ferrari of Long Island Why did they put the coating on in the first place? Just to make them "feel softer"?
  10. Is there a way to tell before it goes? I took my car in recently because the power steering has been very loud sounding, like a pump whine. In a normal car, I'd tell you the pump was bad and to replace it right away. But the steering feels fine, and they told me the sound is normal on these cars. The owner started up his personal 04 G for me, and it sounded similar, so I took his word for it.
  11. Had some disgustingly sticky interior pieces. Lambo dealer said 'sorry buy new ones'. But my Ferrari dealer said 'no problem, we have an in-house guy that refinishes these'. They came out great, and make the car feel so much nicer. They have my GranTurismo right now and are going over every sticky piece in that car too. Service manager said even new cars are coming in with signs of sticky trim pieces after just a few months. Why do they still use this coating?!? Guess you get what you pay for, shoulda bought a Honda
  12. I want to thank Ryan (Ag02M5) for installing navigation in my radio. I got it back from him today, re-installed the radio, and the navigation works great. I was very glad that I made this thread and was referred to using his services. I would recommend him to other owners looking to add nav to their cars that were not optioned with it.
  13. They are pretty much flush the fenders. I didn't want them "bulging". Another issue with wheel spacers on a lot of cars is that they make any wheel gap look silly if the wheel is out too far. I do not wish to lower the Maserati, as I drive that car long distances. So the spacer size that makes it flush has the right look. The car looks spot-on in person now.
  14. Good info in here. I installed 25mm spacers on my Mas today. That car needed them bad. The G is better, but could use them as well. Thanks for all the sizing info.
