ok my car officially died today, as my starter has been kinda buggin itself for the last couple of weeks, i had to actually push the sucker
so guys, im gonna pick up a starter tonight, how do i install it? is it that hard to do? i have a CAI so i know its easier to access it, but does anyone have specific instructions on it?

 

It's not hard, somewhat time consuming, but not hard. You might have to get a breaker bar, the bolts are rather tight.

It's really surprisingly easy.
Pull out the whole intake from the tb out to make it easier.
Two bolts and a connector later, you're done.
