Banned. I got OWNED!!!
its a japanese car, no shims needed
you do need a starter though.. check your battery first, not voltage but amperage, your local auto parts store can run a test for ya

Check for battery terminal corrosion. Get a $4 terminal cleaning brush from the autostore. It's a 2-piece unit that has an internal steel bristle brush and an external brush.

check the condition of the terminals on the battey and the cable ends at the battery for tightness and clenliness. next, ceck the negative cable and for the same at the body and bellhousing. finally, check the positive for tightness at the starter. also check to make sure the strter bolts are tight.

battery is fine, power is fine, gets to starter, the pop is either the cylinoid or the starter going to engage, but it wont spin the flywheel or even be able to try to. its not the starter, tried two different ones and it'll turn over once, then you try again, click. so idk but its gay. it doesn't grind. doesn't do anything, it'll run and drive, wont start lol. OH and thanks bro for helpin me out, comin up to look at it...

check your grounds. follow the negative cable from the battery to the bellhousing. there's going to be a 10mm bolt that grounds the cable to the left strut tower and the cable will bolt to the bellhousing using a transmission to engine bolt. check those and check the cable itself.
