Yeah just lay off those Supersize meals for breakfast.
What the hell, count me in for one of these too. The only exception would be the fitting of this with BIG exhausts??

Assuming our tentative buyers come through, we are now over the top. I am going to start invoicing at the 20-unit discount price, plus $12 for USPS flat rate shipping (U.S. recipients only...overseas shipping will be handled separately). If you haven't already, please send me your shipping information and your email address.

NEED EMAIL ADDRESSES FOR: adrian1, CurtP

I've received 14 payments. Need a minimum of 6 more to preserve the top discount. Please try to get your payments in to me over the weekend.

Also, my contact at IMI sent me an email earlier this week, he is hoping to have a photograph available for me later today. I'll post it as soon as I get it. In the meantime, the length of the OE starter is 7.125”, while the IMI starter is only 5.75" in length.

Last call! I'll let this run until 9 PM EST this evening. Those that have been invoiced, if you haven't already contacted me regarding payment by that time, I'm going to assume you're no longer in. I don't want to hold this up for everyone else who has already paid.

A lot of the benefits have already been discussed at length in this thread and the cross-referenced threads on 924board.org and in the NA forum. It might be helpful for you to review the benefits discussed earlier, as they go beyond simply higher torque starting for high compression race motors.

no intent to derail gropup buy thread.

I HAVE read this thread in it's entirety, though I will admit I did not read cross ref'd threads.
One mention of the posibilitly of using a smaller, lower cca batery is the only benefit I see mentioned, and it certainly is not discussed at length......... No worries mate

In fact let me take a moment to thank you for facilitating the group buy. Though I am not purchasing I appreciate it just the same. It is much more time and effort than most realize,
and as a member of the enthusiast community I say thank you!
