the mini starters, if you buy a good one, are awesome pieces with great torque and a lot of cranking power (especially for these NY winters
but you should know that they're wired differently and you'll need to follow the proper wiring diagram in order for it to operate correctly... here's the proper wiring diagram:

whatever you do, DO NOT use the jumper wire method by making a small jumper from two terminals on the starter solenoid, this is a good way to burn out a new, expensive unit, and i've seen a lot of guys on other forums give that as advice and it's wrong and costly
just follow the diagram i provided or one of Jrichter's diagrams and you'll be fine, good luck!

I've been using an Autozone starter since '03 when i got my car...no problems yet. It has a lifetime warranty, so when it craps out i'll get a new one free.
I guess if i had the money to splurge on stuff like this i would, but the weight savings are minimal and i don't have really high compression so the stocker works fine for me. I'd think about what you really need and whether the cash spent is justified. Just my 2 cents.

Because the mini starter has its own solenoid... unlike the old monster starter. Its a five minute wiring job, move a wire add a wire.
