My starter on my 2002 Forester took a nice steamy dump today in a very scary part of SF. Don't need that to happen again. I'm going to buy a new starter within a couple days but I want to check to see if anyone happens to have one laying around they'll hook me up with. Not sure of the interchangeability, but I'm pretty sure turbo starts are not compatible.

PM me. Thank ya!

 

Looks like it's an interchange item with similar years Foresters up to 02, Imprezas up to 03, and some Outbacks. I don't have $150 burning a hole in my pocket, give me a holler!

 

Bueller bueller? I bought the new one but if I can return it, I'd be a happy camper!

 

I went to remove the starter and it turns out the ignition signal wire had come disconnected. Probably from swapping the brake booster and tugging around on the hoses/wires. Problem solved, don't need one anymore!
