Default Don't buy Napa starter

Solenoid case broken during installation. I didn't overtighten. As we all know, our car has tight engine room, and I only turned the wrench with one finger.

Housing broken after 6 days of use

The broken pieces are stuck between clutch now

What a great parts

I'm surprised Napa even had a starter, used to work for them and all of their parts except bearings from what I found for the s2000 were reman parts so casted metal shouldn't be their fault if it failed
