For me its hard to justify getting a motor with open vents and stiff/fragile wires sticking out of the back end in addition to spending the $200. It's impressive how long we have to wait in order to get quality and practicality in the same package, given that many are already willing to pay big $$ for a motor, whose exterior design is not even best suited for cars. The castle-neu motors/tekin rx8 motors are a step in the right direction, but also a step in the other direction, due their mass-produced quality.

Also, I have not tried a genuine neu but, some say the castle-neu motors are just as good, others say they are worse, and I have seen reports of both good and bad temps for both motors.
