Noz Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Anyone aware of anything that's been done? I completed quite an intense bit of digital analysis on two 3D models of a Supra. An OEM model and a modified model. I have been meaning to write it up to share with the forum. Curious if anyone has done anything else. I got an academic grade of 76% for the report which I was quite helped with. A handy forum member on here helped me a sh1t ton. For which he is yet to be rewarded (it's in progress still mate, promise!). There were a few things to OEM I couldn't sort, such as wheels on the OEM model. Changes vs OEM were bonnet, body width front/back, whees, exhaust and front bumper design. Side skirts maintained shape to body with minor change at body connection where wider. I won't include the WHOLE report as that's likely a bit boring to most. But here was the contents. I could summarise my findings if people find it interesting.

Different wings, kits, mirrors, wheels the list is endless. I thought the OEM wing was function over form unlike some of the monstrosities you used to see slapped on the back.

With spoiler being second. Wheels, mirrors, bonnets, skirts, barely make a difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
