WTB: Starter for 2004 RX-8 (MT)

I'm in Surrey, BC Canada and am looking for a starter.

Dealership trying to get me to pay nearly 700 for the part plus labour to install after they broke it while it was in the shop ("it's not our fault, it just broke").

As it's out of warranty, I'm trying to replace it myself, but the first place I ordered the part from (autopartsgiant.com, useless idiots) tells me 4+ weeks after I order it that they didn't actually have it in stock, and that telling me it was shipping 12 days ago was a mistake.

Thanks in advance.

Mazmart will hook you up with the good one.

The 'old' model starter isn't worth farkall, too slow and underpowered. These are the 'perfectly good' ones that techs are rescuing from the dumpster and Ebaying.....

Warranty's gone on my starter (Start of service was the fall of 2003 for my vehicle) so they won't cover it (even though they broke it).

The Ebay ones don't have Canada as a shipping option.
