I'm assuming that larger pinion up against the ring gear is attached to the starter. Where can we get that setup?! Adaptor plate to fit that between rear iron and bell housing? I bet that cures any flooding hard & starting issues. Spinning the engine up a lot faster than factory setup!

   Good question. I don't know. It does not look like a Mazda
   3rd gen auto tx or RX8 auto tx starter.

   Most likely an auto tx starter from a larger engine. Maybe Chevy or Ford.

   Do not forget that is a reduction starter and the drive pinion engaged with the
   flywheel does not need as much gear ratio. The reduction drive reverses the
   rotation to allow the starter to not have clearance issues with the firewall. Sure
   looks like it is designed to bolt to a rotary.
