Question GrimmSpeed BRZ Measuring Session - Anyone need any random measurements?

Tuesday morning we are scheduled to have a BRZ for the day to do reverse engineering, data acquisition, etc. Since we will have all of our equipment set up already, are there any specific random measurements anyone needs?

We'd be more than happy to get them for you even if it is just out of curiosity.

LMK

Mr Grimm,
If you would be kind enough to find out the front brake rotor diameter it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
cs.

The distance between the block and the bottom of the hood, and the distance between the intake manifold and the bottom of hood. i want to see if there is any way someone can fit a Roots SC under the hood using a design like this:

Ground clearance?

Here is a random measurement I am wondering, distance of bottom edge of door from ground when open. I have to park by some relatively high curbs and I have had the passenger door scrape on my car which is mildly lowered.

Can you measure the distance between the floor and the underside of the carseats? I wanna know how high you can raise the seat. Cuz I remember my feet got smashed if I sat in the backseats. Not sure if the seat height was lowered or not though.

Thx! RANDOM, right? LOL

+1 on this. Interested in eventually Rallyxing the car and curious about any underbody features/attachment points for cladding/protection. Lots of under carriage pics in all sorts of angles please! (exhaust routing, drive shaft, suspension, etc.) Also, not sure if possible, measurement of wheel well inside diameter and/or suspension travel. Basically, how tall of a tire can I go (with the intent of adding some more ground clearance) with out scraping/bottoming out.

Personally, I'd love to have the exact distance between the wheels and the fenders, hub and fender and suspension to fender.

I'd like exact measurements for the small storage spot in the console under the HVAC controls between the start button and the AUX input. I have an idea for a phone holder mount that doesn't require drilling into anything.

You Australians are far too polite - move your country next to the US for a while and watch that change pretty quickly!
