if your starter sounds sluggish, i just filled my motor and solenoid with wd40 and its transformed it, spins over much much faster. theres a small hole on the motor and solenoid to get inside :)

Are these "uprated" starter motors not the very same ones that people have reported to chew up their flywheel?

smaller/lighter is allways a good thing, the 5s starter is a big bugger. i have asked a few people for the part numbers off theres but no-one so far has been willing to expose this info :(

I have heard that the "uprated" ones fail quicker ..
OEM FTW

:agree: OE all the way
you can usually get minter campus valeo starters from the scrappys for peanuts. Both my ph1 and cup car have campus starters, cost me about a tenner each.......win!!
for the record i have now had my nice sounding uprated starter on for well over a year with no sticking problems or failures whatsoever...so not sure where all these folk are getting there information about them being a fail?....if its just word of mouth then..:disagree:
