The great WRX spec hunt.
I'm going to be building a hi-rez 3d model of an 02-03 wrx wagon, and i need the specs for it, i.e. width, height in inches, all that crap. If anyone has a decent blueprint of one, preferably orthographic i'd be JJ stoked. I'm going to go out and take some pictures of my car, but its hard to get accurate measurements on it.
Hopefully, if i can get it all together, this model will rock - as i'm building in working supsension, and a script that will hopefully both figure in tire rotation and tire deformation. We are going to use it in an animation, and if i can model it quick enough, i can model in some "i-club member" personalizations, and post them here upon request.
I'll continue my search as well, but you really can't have too much info when it comes to these things.
TIA,
IAN

Dude, just find a body shop that will let you use their rack for a day or something. You know, one of the frame straighteners with the giant calipers and ll that to test the structure for proper alignment.
On second thought... they must have all the specs on paper or computer, so they can check against factory tolerance right?

Dimensions supplied to body shops and in the factory shop manual will help but only give the 'peak' dimension. They are not a body template that have data measured in incremental steps along each body panel that show the curves and nuances.
If you have access to a laser scanner, you can scan in the exterior shape of a readily available die-cast model of a WRX wagon.

Well, even a "peak" style blueprint would be useful, and i could eyeball in the nuances using picture reference. And once i get 3 good looking views, the model pretty much builds itself.
I dont have access to lazerscanner, only the tedious mechanical arm type.
