Weird Starting Noise

Weird Starting Noise
Hey guys, I am noticing that when I start the Max, it makes a weird noise for a second after you start it, like the starter is still spinning for a brief moment after the car is actually started.
Any ideas on what this is? I would do a search, but it says I am "not authorized" to use this feature?
Also, my 18" Murano wheels are here and on the car. The stereo setup is in and done, along with the Autopage alarm with remote start. I ordered Tokico Illuminas and Tein S Techs which should be here this week. Upon which I will pull her into the garage and finally use my wall mount spring compressor! I am also going to do the smoked taillight mod. Was going to o it this weekend, but yeah, they really dum dum those tails in. I dunno if I wanna heat the dum dum, won't it get pretty icky?
Not a bad family buckety so far. I am a Honda guy, bought the Max for my wife. Not too bad on the mods considering we've had it for like a month.

more than likely the starter gear is hanging up with the flywheel..... mine does it also .. you could take the starter apart an clean and lube it.... that may solve the problem... or you could just replace the starter..... mine does not do it enough to make me want to fool with it yet

Is it something like a wheeeee type sound?
I had this noise and I never regreased it. It eventuallyd died, ofcourse it happended right after eating breakfast with my family at a restaurant. I took my tork wrench and hit it/persuaded it a couple of times and it started. I went straight to home, took it out and got it checked at Auto Zone. I put in a new one a couple months back, all is well now and the embarassing noise is gone .
Here is the link to Motorvate's site that explains how to re-grease it, in case you want to get a little more life out of it.
