A Ferrari Parts WOOT? From Ricambi America

I was downstairs packing up some random bits and pieces and noticed that our stock of Challenge Stradale TCUs had grown waaaaay too large! So, taking a page from another great Internet site, I though we should deep-discount these items and see if we can lower our stock position to a more reasonable level. Holding thousands of genuine Ferrari Parts on our shelf at Ricambi America might look neat to a visitor, but its quite an investment. No need to carry too many of these items in inventory as long as our sourcing in Italy remains strong.

So, for customers with a 360 Modena or 360 Spider who want to experience neck snapping fast F1 shifts, this swappable Transmission Control Unit, is just the item! It is a genuine Ferrari article with the 2004 Challenge Stradale firmware. Take it to the track, and have some fun. Yes, around town the shifts of your F1 will be a bit rougher, but at high revs, you'll feel like Michael Schumacher at Monza. :)

The wheels on the bus go round and round!


In the past, one of the hottest items we sold for 360 and F430 owners was a set of genuine Ferrari Challenge Stradale wheels. Now, with the advent of the F430 Scuderia, it seems everyone wants a new pair of shoes. Because Ferrari parts for new models (like the Scud) are often blocked by the factory for resale until a certain period of time elapses, we were delighted to get several sets of these genuine Scuderia wheels into inventory yesterday!

They are all presold (and in fact already reboxed and headed onward to customers), but its nice to know they are now commerically available. We can get them in both titanium (shown) and the race-inspired Ferrari gold. Are they cheap? No. Are they an absolutely super-cool way to make your Ferrari stand apart from the pack? Heck yeah!

Our new website design is also now fully operational! Although a few little issues were identified after the go-live, our site at Ricambi America is up and running and looks fantastic. We chose to integrate some of our advertising photos into our mainpage -- trying to make the image and 'feel' of Ricambi America more consistent across different media.

Roll with it, baby!

Every now and then, we get some amazingly unusual, rare, original and genuine Ferrari parts at Ricambi America. Although we don't specialize in the vintage cars (like 365BB and such) whenever a cool item comes our way, we're happy to stash it on the shelf for a future buyer.

Today, we finally got around to taking pictures of our long-lost Ferrari BB512 spare wheel. This baby has the original tire, original decals, and probably the air from 30 years ago! I wouldn't suggest anyone actually roll this on their Boxer, but for concours correct items, it is an absolutely perfect item !

Darn cool, eh?
