Disclaimer: The following is provided as a GUIDE ONLY, and neither myself nor Ozhonda take any responsibility for the outcomes of someone else doing the following. You follow these steps at your own risk!

Since my car is imported and the starter motor could be different to AUD model.

Purpose: Replace the broken starter.My starter doesnt work very well and I bought a new one.

Required: Socket ~~~ Around 9-12mm..I forget~~~
New Starter
A Car: 1994 EG4 Hatch~~auto/manual

Difficulty: I think it is 2 stars out of 5 stars...

Step 1). It is better to detach the power connection from battery prevent damage the car~~

Step 2). Detach the air intake duct...Because I think it would be easier to do the work without it..~~The starter is on the driver side and next to engine .you can spot it easily and locate it...There are more pictures about how its look like.
