Bye Bye 2009, Hello 2010 !

Hard to believe that 2009 is coming to a close, but indeed today is the last and final day of the decade. Here at Ricambi America, we had a very successful year selling original Ferrari, Maserati, and Lamborghini parts. I think we sold about 7 SD3 diagnostic computers, a whole smattering of Lamborghini body panels, dozens of Ferrari clutches, and more timing belt service kits that I can even remember.

What's in store for 2010? Plenty of good things! We fully expect to have new Hill Engineering 308/328 tensioner bearings in Q1 (a long overdue upgrade for owners of the iconic 8-cylinder Ferrari), and later in the year a new Lamborghini Gallardo clutch thrust bearing.

In 2010, we also plan to extensive upgrades to our inventory of Larini exhaust systems, and a aggressive push of their full product catalog -- including headers, catalytic converters, and exhaust bypass pipes.

We recently launched an on-line chat feature on our website too -- enabling customers who prefer to not use the telephone or email to actually chat us live and in realtime regarding their Ferrari parts requirements. It's a solution managed by www.providesupport.com, but matches our requirements at Ricambi America perfectly. Depending on when you're reading this blog, you can actually chat with us now! How cool is that?

A High Carbon Diet, only at Ricambi America

Tis the season for new Ferrari parts at Ricambi America!

In the past, we have sold several sets of OEM F430 Challenge shift paddles. The paddles are longer than the stock ones, and improve paddle accessibility when the wheel is rotated (and more applicable to street driving, when the drivers hands are not exactly at 9 and 3 o'clock on the wheel). The stock F430 Challenge ones however are frightfully expensive and made from a fairly mundane/boring aluminum.

If you want the F430 Challenge functionality, but desire something that looks more polished in the cockpit, we are proud to now offer Carbonio Extended Length F1 Paddles

I have been so impressed with the quality of Carbonio pieces and the real pleasure of dealing with Carbonio on a B2B level, that we're working hard to bring their entire catalog of carbon pieces into our inventory. It'll take a while, but for now I just love the items we've received thus far, and I'm pretty sure you will too.

A long awaited tool arrives at Ricambi America

Its here.

Its awesome.

Its way freakin' stronger than the Ferrari version, 1/3 the price, and in stock now.

What is it? It is the Hill Engineering version of Ferrari tool 95973048 (AV3048)... the wrench for end of stroke pins on the F355, 360, Enzo, and F430 clutch thrust bearings. Those little pins are darn near impossible to remove without a proper tool -- and even if you have the original Ferrari one, it'll break soon enough. They are too brittle, and nowhere stout enough for a professional Ferrari shop.

No need for a homemade, cobbled together tool. This one, like the other Hill Engineering custom Ferrari parts and tools, is a 'buy it once, buy it for life' product.

p.s. Yes, it'll fit Maserati 4200 end of stroke studs too.
