After all this positiv feedback concerning mini starters I ordered one at RSB Motorsports today (IMI-108 HiTorque starter, USD 169.95 + 30.00 s&h USPS to Germany).
Wasn´t quite sure if a Tilton Standard Duty Super Starter wouldn´t have been a better choice because of OE appearance. But price is around USD 325.00 + package & handling 10.00 + freight charge 91.00 (because at JEG´s High Performance they only ship it DHL...), that´s a total of 426.61! Plus import tax of around 25 percent. Too much for a starter...
I´ll keep you posted how it works out...
Thomas Rauschu, could you please email me this pic of your IMI starter we talked about? Still don´t know what it looks like when installed...
