What did you do to your 11th gen today?

I got a little loud when he told me "you are mixing terminology", then he proceeded to use the term "oil controllers". I said, "you mean VCT solenoids" and he said, "well whatever they are, you can change those easy without removing the valve covers". I told him, not on the 07 and 08's and he just said, "well I dont do those timing jobs". Thats when the shop owner came up and the mechanic left. I told him he needs to double check his mechanics ASE certification because when it comes to my motor, he is clueless. The shop owner simply said "thanks for coming in and checking with us". What a bunch of jokers.

looks great! I was thinking about doing the pocket style myself but after seeing yours I'm starting to lean away from them.

Carr Super Hoops hang lower anyway & would be more functional then my current Nerf bars.
One more teaser pic with the wheels and tires touched up
Have to paint those wheel wells now 😱

Heard the dreaded metal on metal sound from my read brakes. Looks like my left rear outboard pad is tired.
Thinking to bite the bullet and get front and rear Power Stop Z36 kit with drilled & slotted rotors and powder coated calipers & hardware.
Any feedback out there on Power Stop products and their Z36 pads in particular?
