2lbs savings considering it is so low in the car seems pointless.

Figured I'd bump this one again. This is a really good deal for a better starter then the OEM one.

Does anyone from the first group buy have any reports about how well the new starter works?

To me, the fact that it is more efficient and less of a draw on the electrical system is more of a selling point than the weight savings.

The first buy ended up with 27 pcs, iirc.

What was the final net $$ per?

Assuming we get 20 this time, we'd have the same price?

Ideola hasn't updated this since July 21. Not sure what the current status is. I'm still strongly interested.

Ideola hasn't been online since the 21st. I sent him a PM to make sure that he's ok and to see what's going on with the group buy.

Hope he's ok.
