Peglio's vertex edge edition

[pegliobaglio]

Not a proper update as such,but got my allignment done ready for the shows and also have put my spoilered boot lid back on for now as there were some annoying marks and cracks in the filler,once I stripped it I found out why lol! Gonna take me a few weeks to get it perfect again,but with the other work I need to do on the car prob gonna leave it and just run the wing for now

 

[vinnie]

I think your Silvia looks better with the wing on mate, also the alignment makes a world of difference.

 

[pegliobaglio]

Is like a completely different car now!
I still can't decide on the wing,think smooth is better.....

 

[- 0h -]

keep the wing mate..but get it modify like what I did here

 

[ichigo-300]

I've always liked the rear wing with the brake light upright removed, looks really nice.

If i'd had the wing on my 15 when I got it I would have done this for sure.

 

[Fruitbooter]

Ive always wanted to do this too but not sure how you would tackle it without making a mess lol

 

[pegliobaglio]

Cheers for the pics,funnily enough I was chatting to vinnie about doing this.
Its not the taking it out and smoothing it that worries me,its if I don't like it trying to get it all back together ha ha ha!!

 

[meddler]

I am looking at doing this to a spoiler, I just have to find one cheap enough.

given silv a little clean and been practicing my spraying,i am ready to get cracking next week if my gun gets here in time,only problem i have now is that my car isnt wv2??? i know its been fully resprayed at some point looks like it maybe a 350z colour i thought this may be the cae as side by side to vinnies my car is noticably darker,plus the smooth lid i got off dean was lighter also ,my tutor@ college is going to find out for me using a colour spectrometer but said it could take a while not to mention the fact he wont be there for 3 weeks due to easter and hol ,worst comes to worst i will just spray the bits as its only a couple of shades darker and not that noticable,after the summer the car will be changing colour anyways.
here are some pics of what i sprayed and the difference in colour......


I have prepped my ic pipework ready for alu filler as when i bought the kit off sxsi it had a few bits of damage so gonna get it all nice and smooth then paint it while i am at it gonna make the most of the sun and prep/fill my front bumper too ready for paint if all goes well in the next 2 -3 weeks i should have the ic abd mani fitted and my full kit on ready for the show,i also may have an interesting update on my brakes too in the next month or 2 i will update the thread accordingly.

 

[pegliobaglio]

Started to get into the dirty work! Removed my ic pipework and started trying to get my mani off,easier said than done though,doesn't look like its been removed since the day it left the factory! After a lot of grinding I managed to get the heat shield off and got 6 of the 8 mani to head studs off now,the other 2 I am gonna have another go at tomorrow,been a long old day! Got my skirts@home now too so gonna line them up and start prep'n for paint!
Took this op to fit my sfs rad hoses too
Turns out I had a crack in the mani too so good job I am changing iit!
Pretty much where I am at now,hopefully tomorrow I will get the mani off then can fit my engine mounts/mani/water oil linesand crack on with fitting my fmic aswell

 

[LuPix_S15]

Looking good dude :thumbs:


As said you should be able to get the 2 middle mani nuts off (ones underneath the pipes) using combination spanner coupled with extension bar :wack: Also lots of WD40 and/or heat

 

[pegliobaglio]

Cheers buddy! Fingers crossed I will get em off tomorrow then I can crack on with everything else,fun stuff like sideskirts!! Oh and engine mounts/ may as well do them while I am at it!

 

[vinnie]

Keep up the good work Chris. If only I had some v power I would of given you a hand heh.
All these upgrades will make your car even sweeter

 

[pegliobaglio]

Cheers bro! Yeah is a shame u couldn't help out,my bro turned up just now saying he was free all day! Coulda helped me!!!!!
Oh well,I will prob be working on her all week I reckon,should bepretty sweet when its all done

 

[pegliobaglio]

Well gave it another go today after getting a decent spanner and leaving the bolts to soak in wd over night and thankfully no problems,so now comes the fun bit! Uprating everything,hopefully have the new mani/water oil turbo braided lines in by the end of the week got a new o2 sensor as well,may as well replace everything while I am in there as is a pig of a job to do otherwise!

 

[pegliobaglio]

Didn't have much time today,but managed to seperate the turbo and mani so all ready to get it all put back together now,just gotta work out the best way to fit the braided lines.anyway now comes the fun bit,upgrading!!!!

 

[Fruitbooter]

Tbf that spray job looks top notch! I'd commission you :nod:

Looking forward to seeing manifold piks!

 

[pegliobaglio]

Cheers mate! If you ever need anything doing give me a shout I am pretty much set up now!I am hoping to get the mani back in before the weekend if there are no more problems or rain! Will get pics up soon as its done!

 

[pegliobaglio]

Mani is all bolted up lines and o2 sensor fitted ready to go,and then the rain came hopefully get it all fitted in the next couple of days.

 

[pegliobaglio]

Test fitted the mani today to make sure all is well,very impressed with it!
Gonna fit my uprated engine mounts before I fit it back though much easier acces with the mani/turbo out the way!!
