Not sure if this has been posted yet or not, however, I found that I had a problem starting the car with the standard serpent box due to the width of the rubber pulley and the width of the chassis not allowing proper engagement.
JABRONI, yes I have that problem ! I actually took an hour to get my engine started at a track one day. Perhaps I did not mention this earlier because my piston sleeve was still tight and that it was stuck all the time and this made it difficult to start to begin with. Secondly, the rubber wheel on my Serpent starter has already worned out after close to 2 years !
Thirdly, I was using a buddy's Serpent starter box. Although it was difficult to start but still managable. So, I actually did not complain.
Still, you are right about the starter box though. Lowering the engine mounts is nice but I think you need precission machining for that...
