Damn, didn't take long for something to go wrong. I hope nothing else dies on you, cause it always seems when one thing goes wrong, 20 things go wrong lol. Such is the case with older cars though. But don't feel bad, I have faith that once you fix the starter the car will be good to go.

Not sure how hard the starter is to do on those cars.

Yeah I know man but worst comes to worst if **** gets to be too much I'll just do a full rebuild or 1j swap. Got the new starter on order, refurbished with a life time warranty from autozone for $50. Thanks for the good faith lol

start is indeed a bitch to do on these....you will need a very long extension and some can do attitude. You'll get it tho, its just that top bolt that's a bitch.

I was really hoping you wouldnt say that. You know what size socket? and you got any helpful hints on getting this intake crossover off to do plugs and wires?

hah the three foot of socket extension, I seem to recall that story.

I likes the gunmetal a lot but the car is almost a gun metal so I figured it'd look bad. Do you know if the 962's are a direct fit or will i need wheel spacers
