Ferrari Parts? Or Just Furry Parts?


I'm not sure how this relates exactly to original Ferrari Parts, but as things get busy during the heavy driving season, I needed a way to get my Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (Remy) groomed without consuming too much of by precious weekend family time. Well, a great new service is here in Winston Salem called Barkley Manor which is an outstanding mobile dog groomer.

So, while Remy was getting cleaned up, I had a chance to kick back with my son and wash the Ferrari 348 and install some nice new Ferrari Floor Mats. The look great, fit great, and make the old car look fresh again. Speaking of Ferrari Parts, I'm not sure why -- but we've had a complete run on Hill Engineering Clutch Release bearings recently. I guess springtime is when all the Ferrari clutches start to get used again, and we see signs of failure or the lasting effects of last-season's hard driving.

Ferrari Club Track Day !


Whoo hoo!! just a few more days until the local Ferrari Club Track weekend. Getting the Ferrari out onto the track is always a real treat -- being able to drive a bit harder, learn a whole lot, and exercise the car is great fun.

In preparation for the track day, it seems we've had a decent amount of local (North Carolina and Virginia) customers buying more Ferrari parts here at Ricambi America. A custome with a 360 just upgraded his F1 transmission ECU (also known as an F1 TCU) to the Challenge Stradale version: 196986. He''ll get superfast shifts when fully on the power, and probably feel like a whole new Ferrari is at his fingertips.

Less gamerous, another customer needed new shock bushings for his Ferrari 360 Spider. Using the Ferrari Parts diagrams on our site, he found exactly what he was looking for!

Now... we just need to hope for nice weather and a dry track.
