Put new brake pads on, I think I got the use out of the last ones! Also put new brake fluid in and then looked at the clutch and realized it had been neglected so change it out also. Nothing looks better than fresh brake fluid.

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.

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.
