I had the same problem with my classic for about a month just used to give it a few taps and it would fix itself and then after a few weeks it was fine and hes been for about 5 months.

But if you talk to your mechanic they should be able to find out for you on genuine, non genuine and recoed ones depending on what you want to spend. But in the mean time just give it a few tapes with the handle of a screwdriver or the like and it should turn over for you

A starter motor brand new from Subaru is $1641 retail. Luckily for you though that MY01 and onwards WRX and STi starters are identical. The model number, if you want to confirm this, is 23300AA420. Speak to Darryl or Jason at ATS and they will sort you out, 0416227033 or 0732056555.
