But he doesn't own a british sports car, he owns a Mazda (I think) thus his starter should not just die on a whim! if he owned a VW I would have told him to rebuild his starter every other year but as it is if he checks it over every 100,000 miles he should be fine!

It is fairly involved and time consuming but i know that part is possible. It would be similar to the motor controllers which the electric vehicle people use
The crazy mechanical magic is the trouble for me.

But can you make one that can handle 200+ amps? when I put an amp meter on my starter it seems like it was getting close to 200 and if you need it as a back up then figure that something is going to be wrong with other parts of the car so it should be over built.
