Product Description

This Remy starter 16212 is built for vehicles that require a compact, gear-reduction starter with a closed nose and clockwise rotation. The 9-tooth pinion and 12V specification align with the original starting system design used in the Subaru BRZ, Toyota 86, and Scion FR-S platforms.

This part cross-references Mitsubishi M0T34271 and Toyota SU003-00451 for the same application.

Common Issues This Starter May Resolve

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original starter’s rotation, nose style, pinion tooth count, and voltage before installation. Confirm connector and mounting alignment against the removed unit to ensure proper fitment on the BRZ, 86, or FR-S. Inspect battery condition, cable integrity, and charging system output during replacement so the new starter is not affected by upstream electrical issues.
