Bad news.

This has been a caotic day.
The very best friend of mine has passed away.
He left this life doing his passion.
Running his sportsbike.

He was also one of the best turbomanifoldmakers on this planet.

Rest in peace my firend Peter. (also known as PeterG)

You guys who messaged me on msn messenger:
You added great support to both me and the family he left behind.

Thanks again.
//Patrick

Totally gutted for you mate.

After my initial issues with Peter with some delays in getting my manifolds (and me being quite annoyed at him to be honest as you know) I was then totally bowled over by the quality of them when they arrived and had been recently talking to him getting hold of more of them for other people I know, obviously I didnt know him the way that you did, but I still got a taste of his passion for what he does, and also for how important his family were to him, it must be truely devestating for you all, and my heart goes out to you.

Ive no idea what to say other than that, as I know from personal experience of losing my best friend at a young age, that it doesnt ever really stop hurting as whenever you do things for the rest of your life that you would have involved them in it always reminds you

sorry to hear that mate. thought are with yous.

This Tial exhausthousing i´ve been talking about was a bitch to get a hold of.

But i got connected to 'Jake' at Tial and ordered directly from him and hoping this way should do the trick.

Measuring the valve lift & setting up in relation to TDC.

lee303 · 05-11-2007, 18:18

interesting that you use cylinder no.1, are you measuring full lift or lift on overlap? nice gauge clamps
