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!
One time I had an idea that I wanted my car(s) to be shiney. Now I just ordered $250 worth of detailing consumables... For the third time...
