He's good friends with Gaby Skern, but I think Gaby tuned it. I don't think he built it.

Someone in Oregon built it to put into his own car. Ended up selling it due to financial problems. The front end was rebuilt due to a improper build and huge oil leak issues out the front cover. I do not know if Gaby rebuilt it or if someone else did.

Well after a long delayed disassembly, the problem was the front bearing. He's going to drop a 20B in place of the extra rotor 13b engine. He's looking for a sub frame now and is pulling the engine soon. I'll keep ya posted.

Oh yeah anyone who knows this guy will probably hate to see what happened to his FC. Sucks

Man, I need to head out there to Dan's sometime and check out the progress. Maybe lend a hand.
