All my info is from about 5 years ago though. I have talked to Bob in the past two years. We were introduced by a father and son duo that built a FFR GTM-200 I had worked on.

yep i remember that exactly. really cool dude. he actually flagged me down cause he was interested in my old miata. it was funny cause he was so interested in my miata cause it was slammed and poke and what not but i was jawdropped that he had a rx-7. then he says, yeah its got an ls1 in it. and i almost shit my pants.

Trying to get the house on Blue Jay rented out mostly.
Also in regards to the sequential turbo the FD used, both turbines are the exact same size hence the term "twin" used with a sequential turbo.
Since I owned one I know all sorts of useless info about them.
