Anyhow! Apparently they had to replace the starter. I wish I had time to talk to an actual tech but going through the report, they tested all the electrical systems and everything was fine. Then all of a sudden it said they replaced the starter. I guess if that's what they fixed, that should have been the problem but I'm hoping to get a more definite answer of what might have gone wrong.

Is everyone just going to Karmac or the dealers to have their aftermarket parts installed?
I went to Karmac and they did the job well.

Be prepared for some non OEM stuff not to fit perfect. My AA stuff is good but was still a PIA and I still need to tweak my Eisenmann.

They did a great job on my brakes and my Shifter. That is all good.

I may need to step back on the exhaust. The AA xpipe and HFCs are much louder than I expected and there is alot more resonance in the car driving it hard. Getting some weird vibrations too at different RPM's.

That said the car has a whole new life, holy sh*t faster and meaner. Much more pull in all the gears and it really gets up and goes now, wow.

Need to take you guys for a ride. See what you think.
