CVR starters - any experience?

Anyone ever used one of these?

I was about to buy but the shop in Aus isn't quite sure if they'll fit the VT2 GTS-R/GTS300 with headers, as apparently it's larger than the standard starter. Made in Canada for Pontiac GTO etc.

Thanks

Having been under the car lately it's tight worth seeing if you can get a good hand or more round the outside of the existing.

What's wrong with the OEM starter ?

Maybe nothing - mine is worn to the point now that it won't start when the engine is warm, never mind hot, so I need one soon - the alu casing and bearings they suggest have less issues with heat as seems these engines can suffer from...
