Pressurized

my starter is shot, should i just get a stock replacement or upgrade to a high-torque one? if so, how many teeth, or who makes one for our cars?

I would get a starter from Ray @ Malloy Mazda. At least let him price one for you.

I'm not sure why you would need a special starter.

you dont need a high torque one, it snot like its gonna perform any better then a normal starter/used one/rebuilt one. if you had a desiel engine, then perhaps a high torque one would be usefull but not for a rotary which you should beable to damn near turn by hand (well thats if you dont got any of the accessories on)

I agree. Starters are just used to start the car.

Get one from Malloy mazda. With your discount it should be $108 or something plus $75-80 core charge.

High torque starters are generally required when displacement or compression is increased in piston engines, and maybe some other special situations.. Obviously not a realistic problem with a 2 rotor.
Just go with a stocker.
