Starter motor

quick question.Which starter motor did tuners sell as the uprated type?

(s)Laguna ones IIRC

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 :)

the starter is done mate.I wanted to go for the lagune type as it's a little smaller so hopefully fit unders the tubes manifold better.thats the idear any i maybe barking up the wrong tree mind:confused:

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

[Tony Walker]

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
