High Torque Starter

Does anyone know where I can get a Mishubishi high torque starter for my '04 RX-8 AT? It is real lame starting and has flooded several times. I have already had the computer flash and gave the engine a complete tune-up but it still takes to long to start. I am told that the stock starter in the first RX-8's was not strong enough.

Ask very nicely that they check your starter, tell them that it is very slow to turn over sometimes.
If you are real cool about it, they will change it out.
That is what I did and the differience is big in how she starts now.
