Kirk Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It is a nice looking bumper I guess just a shame its not made from urethane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Never thought I'd see you step away from the stock look Jamie. Don't get me wrong...all the new body parts are great looking, but your car is/was amazing as is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I like the fact its very light and has a big Intercooler mouth. Exactly, allows good airflow but has stock-ish looks, this was the bumper fitted to my first black Supra, its shape was modified somehow as well I was told ?

SupraD06 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I can see that before long you will have a complete kit on the black beast. Don't get me wrong, each new bit you add looks great, but it getting less and less 'stock' looking. All in my opinion of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Was sold as a Whifbiz bumper, I could be wrong of course It wasn't one of my front bumpers mate, it was a modified standard bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The wheels are nearly done, just need to laquer the centers and bolt them together, here's how they will look with diamond cut face and bronze anodised lips. http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=145606&d=1328305504 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 It is indeed the same as HKS Ti, I have some stainless steel flanges here if you want one to match up to the titanium exhaust? I know why this exhaust wont seal, the whifbitz titanium exhaust is not a true 4", inside the ti it measures 93mm, inside my whifbitz midpipe measures 100mm. The external size of the vbands is miles apart an all, the ti one is 111mm and the steel one is 120mm, the clamps just wont pull them together, i dont think changing to a small flange on the steel pipe will work either as the clamps run out of thread on the smaller vband that the ti has, the ti exhaust needs a bigger flange to get over this, can you get one made thats the same size as your steel midpipe?

Scott Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Be good to find out if it still flows as well as the HKS with it being so much smaller. I'm guessing you won't be able to tell till you get it sealed properly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW i only measured with a tape measure, i could be a mm or two out i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Google says the HKS ti is 95mm, my whifbitz ti is most likey pretty close the that, measureing the outside was easy with a tape, the inside not so easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, I was assuming a 4" exhaust was actually 4" internally, I guess it means external? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My whifbitz midpipe is 4" inside, im guessing this may be the problem, ti is slightly smaller than most 4" systems and the steel midpipe is slightly bigger than other 4" midpipes.

Guigsy Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I know a hks ti available very soon (next week) if it's the back section your thinking of changing on yours. If that helps at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it's a proper 4", I haven't got any in stock at the moment to measure it though. I can get a larger Ti flange for you if needed of course or an HKS style stainless steel flange for the midpipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help Paul, I will give you a call tuesday, i just found an old 4" flange in the garage that might work, seems to pull in fine on the Ti exhaust, going to get my man to weld it on the midpipe monday and see if that works first.
