SR20 maaate how the heck do you manage to have so many problems

i cant recall anyone EVER Breaking a starter pawl on a polini or bzm motor unless the starter pawls fly out and shred everything. just give the motor to someone to fix! (this was aj oke btw :P)
dunno bout your "polini" parts but the one i got next to me definitely has a cord equally as thick as the rep. but the chinese gp3 pullstarts are better then the genuine ones :P
the phva or vb which ever it is, is a pretty good replica actually. i didnt mind it but the phgb is a better carb once working
