Title: Starter Motors???????
Post by: dan-rx8 on March 01, 2010, 11:01:04 AM
Hi all,
 
I have recently heard that my 2004 04 plate RX 8 230 has the smaller/slower starter motor, i would be very grateful if any of you on here could tell me on what year/models Mazda realised that it was to small and started fitting the larger ones that spin the engine faster to eliminate the starting problem, any help/advice would be great.
 
Thanks
Dan.

Hi Dan

Sorry to have missed this post.  The new faster starter motors was fitted to the late 2006 RX-8 models.

See here if you still require one:-
