A slow-cranking starter is a well-known contributor to flooding issues in Mazda RX8 Series 1 & Series 2 models (2003–2012), and this ARD Advanced Power Starter Motor is a Japanese-built unit that delivers significantly stronger, faster cranking performance than even the desirable OEM Series 2 starter.
- Provides outstanding starting power and high rotational speed to reduce the risk of flooding
- Exceeds the output of the OEM Series 2 starter motor, widely regarded as the best factory option
- Supplied as a brand new Japanese-made unit, not a remanufactured or reconditioned core
- Manufactured by ARD, an OEM supplier to Mazda, Nissan and Mitsubishi, ensuring high reliability
You will immediately notice faster, more eager engine turnover and more reliable hot and cold starts, dramatically reducing the chance of frustrating flood situations in everyday use.
For a comprehensive improvement to the RX8’s electrical and starting system, pair this starter with an ARD Advance High-Power 150A Alternator (Blue) or ARD Advance High-Power 150A Alternator (Red) so your 2003–2012 RX8 has ample power and strong cranking for years to come.
