I don't know, I told my dad about what I was going to do and he sat here trying to tell me that the starter motor would end up pulling more current because of the resistance of the long cable, effectively creating more heat and wearing it out faster. The principles are correct but I think he's blowing the numbers way out of proportion. Unfortunately, I don't have a handy EE degree... is anyone aware of the tolerances of the starter motor on the SR20DET S14 Blacktop?
