Default Changed starter today to cure slow hot starts.
Dove in head first and replaced my starter today.

Took about 2.5 hours. Hardest part was getting the bellows back into those rubber holders with the clamps. ;-)

Car now starts and turns over super fast cold and hot!!!

Should have done this 2 years again when I got the car.

Is there a DIY? If not would you be willing to write one up?!

Great job, glad that fixed it, and that it wasn't the cable.

Ya. I took a good look at the cable and it looked perfect. No corrosion. Looked brand new. ;-)
