It's sort of out of sight.

It's on the back of the engine, under the intercooler on the passenger's side. You'll now be able to easily see it...

swifty.....!

Totally.

silent running

TBH it would be a pain in the **** with the intercooler still there.

hey guys, i was sent this by grade A subaru as a starter motor for 95 sti



but after taking off the intercooler i noticed that my supposed starter motor is different and just includes one barrel with a coil inside and a shaft on another end, is this correct and i was sent the wrong motor ?

serega

Or was i just looking in the wrong place and that is what a starter motor should look like ? : /

I have a 1993 WRX and mine is this pattern. I'm sure all 92-96 cars have that pattern too . See these links...

Yep, they are different models, the one on the pictures is from the earlier models, mine is from a newer model, but both are interchangeable.

Just changed mine over and it looks like the ones in the pictures.
