You took the oil pan off to change your brake pads? That's a little extreme.

Isn’t that how everyone does it?

That is the throw away pan from my 2GR-FE. That engine is getting a baffled pan before going back into the Evora.

Or we could go back to worst brake design ever! Had to pull the engine pan off to change them.

Reverted BRZ to stock front pipe + motor mounts + suspension today

No more rattles or exhaust smell.

Well I did not do it but I got the car professionally corrected and ceramic coated. Best part is they did it for free! Well I did just have them do 3 aircraft and paid them $25k so I guess it was do 3 aircraft get a car for free. They even did the headlights and windshield.

They give a 10 year warranty on it. I have not gotten one to the 10 years yet but we will see. I am still a little skeptical on Ceramic. I am still a fan of wash and wax. We will see how it goes.

Always so clean. This baby probably won't look any different in 10 years with the way you care for it.
