I found the answer to this. The starter was actually working fine the whole time. The issue was, the timing belt had stretched and boom went some valves. No compression=the starter spinning the flywheel with ease. This sounds IDENTICAL to just putting power to the 8mm terminal, which only spins the bendix but does not extend it.
Appreciate all the input, but shaking my head a bit that I let my mind stick to the starter all this time! Live and you learn I guess!
I've been bitten by this on an RX7. The rotary spins over so easily, I never checked to see if the motor was turning, until after helping my friend change her expensive starter (Lame-O!).
