The casting on the back are blanked out where OEM calipers have Akebono cast in raised letters. Possibly a Power Stop reman.

Some people have gotten the Akebono not completely removed.

82k miles.

I couldn't do this myself as I was afraid of messing up part of the intake but luckily my father-in-law is a mechanic.

Powers steering pump (sport model)
Drive belt (it was already replaced at 60k with a GATES RPM belt...apparently it stretched...failsauce)
Sparkplugs
Valve Cover gaskets
PCV x 2

I am shocked the power steering pump died at 82k miles. I am further surprised that the valve covers are "flimsy plastic" according to my father in law. I do drive the car hard...wondering if that played a part in the valve cover gaskets leaking.

Everybody here thinks they drive their car "hard". Everybody.

I redline it every drive, multiple times? I don't know what else is a hard drive?

You ever drop something on the garage floor, and just about lose your mind being unable to find it, when you know it's right freaking there? And then 6 months later you see it, and easily pick it up in your hands, and remember it was that part you couldn't find?

Are you referring to all the leaves on the ground? I was thinking that too.

Well, that certainly happens when I walk the dog. Standing there for over a minute with the poop bag in my hands and completely lost where to find said poop that he just pooped, all within the radius of a short leash even. That's pretty embarrassing if a neighbor is watching me pretend to curb the dog.

Anyway, I was inspired to that line of thinking by Supra's garage floor. I feel that with my old garage.

SupraOfDoom

Yeah my floor is a bit messy, the entire garage is old, worn, and full of junk. That being said, you should have seen it before I cleaned it out last summer.

Anyway, today I did my rear 2 piece rotors and remans.

I finally finished refinishing all my calipers. But Z1 STILL hasn't sent me front rotors! Its been like a month. I called them up and they said it'll ship "soon"...
