A few months back i started looking for a 5 speed swap kit, i came across Ralph and one other member which i wont share who it was. Long story short the other member just didn't come thru. I made the decision to go with Ralph and im so happy i did. Dealing with Ralph has been such a pleasant experience. The parts he deliver (yes thats right he delivered parts to my house twice) we in good working order, some parts he even gave two of them, just in case they i needed extra parts. There were parts he even loaned, free of cost.. If you need ANY BMW part, Ralph is the man you want to see....

Well known reputable parts pimp :)

I noticed, he is well praised around here, and rightfully so..

Before giving me the flywheel he had it re-surfaced, he didn't have to do it, but he did, which again goes to show the type of person he is..

Thanks gentlemen!! I strive to provide good parts and service (if necessary) whenever I am asked to. Sometimes all goes well other times your run into some nasty speedbumps. Hopefully I can continue to do it as I do actually enjoy this kind of work over any other. It's also great when the other party maintains patience and understanding throughout the whole process.

BTW - Yes, Vic received a nice, refreshed 16 lb unit. Notice the flywheel is stepped. Every M30 flywheel I know of has to have the step or the clutch will wear out (disc will still be good but slipping due to loss of plate pressure) sooner than normal.

I wonder if he likes his car better now?? It sure is pretty.

Hey Vic. What's wrong with the horn button? I didn't test fit it so I had no idea there was a problem with it. Glad the wheel fit though.

Nothing wrong with it Ralph, just probably not pushed in all the way. Thanks for noticing

Ralph delivers once again... What would i do without him???

ive been having intermitent starting issues, mostly at cold start, finally the car just stopped turning on. Long story short i replaced the dist cap, rotor, coil and the car still didnt fire up. Ralph kindly removed parts from his car and allowed me to test them on my car, in the end the ignition module was the culprit. Now my car is up and running. Thank you Ralph. =D>

Ralph recently lent me two upper control arms that I needed temporarily. A true gentleman in our community.

+10 for Ralph
I needed to replace a swing arm for my 84 633 and he came through. Master packer, too. We used Greyhound Express to save a bundle. So sometime this summer, I can install new pitman arms and the car will be stable and straight..

Many thanks,
Ken

Ralph sent me some sport seat parts and was great to deal with. I'm finally (a year later) getting around to putting them on! Other things got in the way, you know how it goes, but wanted to post positive feedback.

I want to get up to date and add my appreciation to Ralph for helping me out in the recent past, both with some parts I needed for my 5-speed conversion (now finally done!) and a correct gearbox for one of my power seats. He's the kind of guy who really comes through, someone you can trust.
