  1. Always hated when companies mention a down force value with no mention of speed at said downforce. It's all theoretical until they can actually validate it.
  2. Did a quick google search and found that Berger provides other colors. If one were to buy one of those is it something that can be easily swapped by the buyer?
  3. Looks great! How did you manage to match the loft/surface on the nose?
  4. third if they miraculously run out of money. ?
  5. This looks great! I'd look to do the same one day with my chamonix. Did you have any issues finding the matching marine blue leather/vinyl?
  6. Are the front side markers still available?
  7. This thread might help you out a bit. https://www.bmw2002faq.com/forums/topic/236333-center-grille-question/?page=2&tab=comments#comment-1315701
  8. You could look into https://www.simscale.com/. Never used it but it was advertised a bit when I was in college. They offered a lot of demos-- some that were presented live for questions.
  9. You probably could but you would need them as shell or solid models. Been a few years since I've dabbled with STAR-CCM+ but can remember the struggles of simplifying overly complicated parts. As long you can open it in a CAD software, then you should be able to convert it as needed.
  10. I was thinking of getting these for my 4runner because they've got the latest LED tech. You can find some reviews on YouTube if you're interested. I will say they're not cheap but they're an easy plug and play. http://www.morimotohid.com/h4-led-headlight-bulbs-morimoto-2stroke.html
  11. Found the article but it looks to be a different model. https://petrolicious.com/articles/this-bmw-2002-is-a-model-of-perfection
  12. This looks perfect! The amount of detail seems almost as if it were meant for a racing simulator. I'm curious if it's the same one featured by Petrolicious a couple of years ago.
  13. Thanks for the link Simeon! Dudeland, it's less about spending money to get someone to do it for me but more about just designing custom parts to my taste. I have modeled in NX over the last couple of years and was curious to see if anyone else had thought about doing the same and had beaten me to going down that route. It's much easier to start from a baseline design than to start from scratch.
  14. Is anyone aware of existing 1:1 scaled models of 02s (e.g. nose, fenders, dash, etc.)? I'd like to start modeling some parts on the side to prototype. Any constructive input is appreciated.
  15. A short read from Rob Siegel's point of view https://www.bmwcca.org/content/tale-eight-radiators
  16. Whaledriver, I've been meaning to join BMW CCA just wasn't aware of the local chapter. Hope to see you and your car around.
  17. Thanks Nicoya! I'm not too sure on the specs of the wheels but another user told me BMW, Opel, and VW at one point partnered to make wheels. Just got new Pirelli CN36s and the trackwidth looks a little too wide which is probably due to the wheel offset.
  18. Could try to get in touch with the person who took this picture. Looks very similar to the one you posted and a lttle different than the one sold at IE (http://www.iemotorsport.com/bmw/item/02alpinaairdam.html).
  19. Hey! I havent joined the club, mind sending me a link? Haven't driven Betsy much but expect to have her going by the time spring comes around. I like the look of yours a lot! Nelson
  20. Sorry for the late response but as some others have said, you could Jerry rig it with all thread, wing nut and some JB weld. Mine is nowhere near perfect but it holds just fine.
  21. Mike if no one can provide you one now, I could send you one when I get home later. I just removed mine the other day.
  22. Thanks! It's a 71 base model. Only had it less than a year and brought it to Utah.
