The motor needing more power to start is a symptom, not the real problem.

Unless you came up with a way to increase compression, put in a 3rd rotor or hung more pulley powered stuff on the front end, there is something else you need to fix before it bites you on the Gluteus Maximus.

you dont need a high torque starter but definitely, you need to re-do that new motor. I wonder if the mods can add this thread in Teddy's long and never-ending thread.

Stu: As Jeff said, you can use the S5 NA starter. It doesn't matter that your clutch is a 215mm. I've mixed starters between my old SA, the '82 engine that eventually went in the SA, and my '84 SE. No problems at all.


Oh, and if you want a high torque starter, just give wacky a 19 mm wrench and a Heine everytime you want to start the car. He'll fire it right up for ya!
