i have an 07 rwd i6 trailblazer with the rear swapped from the original open 3.42 to 3.73 with a g80. both are 8-inch, with the latter coming from a slightly older v8 4wd swb gmt360. unsure on the year.

my problem is that when i look for seals, all i find are for the 8.5-8.6 inch rear, which is not what i have. this is a big issue! having to spend 15-30 bucks on gear oil a month is not productive at all.

unless of course, there is no real difference. regardless, please help.

i was watching instagram today and i saw someone putting a miniature of masayoshi tanaka's surfboard guitar from 2003 into a kiln to be fired. they wished a good luck to the project, since projects can be ruined when fired.

​

that got me thinking... make or break? that's what happens when pottery is in the kiln. it either passes, or breaks and must be made back into clay and done over. is that where the saying comes from? for people, it's when something intense happens and you either crumble or fight through it, becoming stronger as a result.

i know that there are limits. hell, gmod is 19 years old, runs on a gradually updated version of an engine from 2004, which is a modified version of an engine from 1998, which is THEN based off an engine from 1996, and FURTHER conceptualized from a shooter from 1993, which is THEN based on movies and tabletop games. that means there isn't much room for this outdated engine to be beautified, and i accept this.

but, it looks pretty dated and could use a little makeover. what mods and addons can i find to boost my experience?

in the anime, wataru is shown to be a cocky but incredibly skilled driver. while mostly true in the manga, wataru is shown to struggle to drive his levin with his style.

there also is no mention of the mudslick in the manga, nor how that relates to takumi's victory. in the manga, takumi wins by barely managing to make his overtake. on top of that, wataru running out of gas was also a deciding factor in ending the race, which was totally absent in the anime.

a difference i liked is that the main three of the redsuns were observing the race. it makes the narration make a lot more sense than in the manga, which is basically like the baki narrator, and reinforces the plotpoint of ryosuke keeping watch on takumi to recruit him for project D.
