    Its pretty much all Cinema4D, with BodyPaint 3D for spitting out textures to Photoshop and Crazy Bump...but 90% of it is Cinema4D

    ...I had done this a year ago with my previous bobblehead, it sorta became a strange hobby of mine, making bobbleheads on random

        Congrats on fixing your exhaust though. How much did they charge you?

                i'm looking for some kind of 75w90 gl-4 fluid for my Getrag 260. not looking for a synthetic as i believe it to be to "watery" for a old, worn manual trans.

                i ended up running it with low oil and hoping nothing is to messed up, so im not looking to put a big name brand into this trans, but every place i go has the gl-5 stuff. not gl-4

                help?

                  I've got 340k miles on my 260 running redline. My input shaft seal was leaking before hand so i changed that when i swapped the clutch.

                    Synthetic actually preserves the gears and prolongs the life of our terribly brittle brass synchros

                    I usually use Red-Line products (I believe they are synthetic, or mostly anyway); they are top notch and gl-4, but the Mobile 75w90 stuff is good too if you can find the gl-4 stuff

                      trying to find a local store that carries it, but online they either dont show it, or dont show a price. i don't want to end up driving to 4 stores because one ends up not having the right stuff.

                      i should be able to use the redline 75w90 in the trans and the diff correct? i need the oil today

                        Just go to your local OReilly, Autozone, Pep Boys, etc and buy ANY generic 75w90 gear oil for around $4 each. Trust me it's just fine.

                          id be fine with any generic brand, but they usually all has the API rating of GL-5, (which destroys our trannys) i need one that is GL-4 correct? im not looking to have all my soft metal attacked by the gl-5 agents

                            2 hours labor and the cost of the hangers. I had to get a custom y pipe made though because none of the stores around here had anything close to what I needed. Total was about $250. And yes I know, I probably could have gotten it done cheaper, but that would be gas money to drive somewhere not local.

                            Regardless my car does sound better, but my car as you said still runs like crap.

                            I'm getting error codes 1222 and 1261 now when driving on occasion. Car hesitates when they go on and the speedo / tac jumps around on my instrument panel codes when the codes turn on. I don't know what is causing it, and it's annoying because I can't go over 80 without that happening or full throttle at that.
