Starters?

So I'm looking into buying a new starter I can't afford to pay for the N3Z1 moment. But what is an alternative? I found this one on eBay but not too sure about it. It has 2.0 KW but what else should I be looking for?

Don't waste your time with that, get the 09-11 RX-8 manual starter. Much better unit.

Amazon.com: Mitsubishi OEM Starter M001TA0271 for 2009-2011 MAZDA RX-8 1.3L M/T N3R3-18-400 19024 2.0kw 12V: Automotive Amazon.com: Mitsubishi OEM Starter M001TA0271 for 2009-2011 MAZDA RX-8 1.3L M/T N3R3-18-400 19024 2.0kw 12V: Automotive

Is it an exact fit though for an 04 rx8?

Emmanyei,

The picture you put up is a N3Z1< upgraded yes, but not to the R3 status.

That N3R3 starter is an exact fit.

9K is correct also, it is a MUCH better starter.

Ok I'll go with the N3R3, but what status does my rx8 has to have for the one I posted to fit?
