uggggg.... why must all my idea's be expensive?

so the rangers oil filter is up on the underside of the block, to the side of the oil pan, and directly above the passenger a-arm mount. mounted so the filter faces down. i'm tired of having hot oil drizzling down the entire length of my arm every time i go to unscrew it, always ending with a face full of oil when i finally maneuver it past the a-arm mounts...

so i started looking into remote-mount filters, which led me to looking for an inverted oil filter mount similar to the brz, where i could do an oil change in a tux if i had to.

there's only 1 company(baxter performance) that makes a remote inverted oil filter mount on the entire globe(how is this even possible anymore?!?). and it's $230.00. plus the plate adapter, AN fittings and braided lines, i'm probably close to $400.

all the other relocation kits are under $75 total...

one day i'll have an idea that's cheap!
