Since I bought this car 7 years ago Ive been threw 4 starters. Last time I put a mini starter in it and havent had a problem. That was over 3 years ago.
This morining I started the car to go to work and it make a strange grinding noise. It wasnt even 6 in the morning yet so I didnt even gie it a sceond thought. Went to leave work this after noon, cranked it over and theirs that grinding noise again. I knew what it was right away. Got home from work and let the car cool down. After dinner I crawled under the car, (no jack or stands at home) sure enough, loose. Then I took a good look.
Broken. Bolth bolts cam loose and from cranking the motor over it broke the bottom right of the starter. So now I need to buy another starter and pull the header :twisted: Maybe I should fix that exhaust leak thats been driving me nuts for weeks. Then I may aswell make Rory put my X pipe on too :scratch:
The joy of old car :mrgreen:
So who has the best price on Mini starters. So far the best Ive found is Mancini Racing for $120
