Default high torque starter motor

Hi,

just browsed your pictures from the upgrade. Very nice indeed. What make is this high torque starter motor u got there? Very slim, compared to the stock starter.

What is the schedule for the first firing?

Cheers,
Bruno

Hi oilline,

was wondering if you got carried away by the performance of the running supercharged motor and forgot to post?

Cheers,
KK

Hi KK
Sorry for lack of updates, been too busy with work and stuff and the Amazon has been neglected. However i have now trailered the car to an auto-electrician friend so he can make the wiring loom. The thought of doing it myself always worried me and i kept putting it off. Hopefully i will get the car back this week and it will be ready to start. I will keep you all posted.
