The R3VLimited rare parts thread

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Looking for racing dynamic pedals anybody got a lead on some? I got a clutch and brake pedal but no gas pedal :(

Looks like people have lost their minds for Hartge stuff. I have an old Hartge steering wheel that needs to be recovered. The horn button is in good shape though. Looks like the one in the page previous in the Hartge pile.

I am much more a fan of Racing Dynamics stuff. Well, their body kits are ugly but I like the rest of their catalog.

Some day I will get a racing dynamics valve cover for the m20.

Looks like I can start collecting racing dynamics stuff for my new M-Coupe though.

Yea you can still buy racing dynamics stuff new or some of it. I need to get racing dynamics wood trim and a gas pedal. I could buy a new pedal set but it would be the 2nd and current gen which dont look as good imo.

I agree.

I have only seen one m20 RD valve cover in person. My buddy has one.

3d printers and cnc machines are beautiful things. It's only a matter of time before cost to work metals makes broad scale rare parts reproduction common... Rare original will always be rare, but repros will get better.

The RD stuff is very nice. I considered before my jump into ACS. Their parts are either still available new and other parts are super tough to even spot!!

M20 RD cover hen's teeth. Steering wheel and knob not so much (craigslist, last year, New York the set for $350ish). There.was a wood kit here two years back a guy in NJ couldn't give away.aboit 100 bucks. Some NOS kit still kicking around for large money. RD wheels come up now and again. Even the headers are being remade IIRC. A guy on the board knows the owner, Yaddayada.

Nice stuff. Would like to see someone tackle the build.

IMO no keep it original. Thats an awesome valve cover very rare

Not original finish come to find out... to the shop it goes for a fresh job.

Thanks to TimemachinE30, I bought this from him.
Really nice guy, and does perfect descriptions of what he sells (even if this one look better than he described:D )


Now I need to find a Hartge gearknob for my boyfriends Hartge build.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Got my pedals :) now i got 2.5 sets. I got a spare brake and clutch pedal

[Der Ruffian]

Nice pedals..
Looks like BMWpedals.com did replicate these.

They don't pop up as often as they used to but they still do every now and again.

I am surprised that there are not Chinese knock offs of some of these unicorn parts. When you see some of the things that are counterfeited, especially the emblems for wheels and hood/trunk ornaments, it makes me scratch my head that things that could be relatively easily faked are not.

Good thing they are not.

The wood trim kit is something I would buy and probably never install. I like the RD steering wheel better than a lot of the other Momo wheels. I bought a NOS one from CourtM3 a couple years back and when he went to get it from storage somebody had burglarized all of his stuff. That made me very sad.

I bought a bunch of their decals for their strut braces and whatever else. I am considering selling them for $10 shipped each. They sell them cheap on their site but have a $10 minimum order and charge $30 for shipping.

I like their 710 cap too. I will be using that on my e36/8.
