I did a little bit of digging when I bought the car, but I wasn't around on the forums when all this happened. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he tuning the car I own now when it burned down? The owner originally said he had gotten a call from the shop saying that they had bad news for him, and he hadn't even taken delivery of it yet when it caught on fire.
Also, in other cases you can pass the buck and say that people should have checked his work, which would be one thing if it was a materials or manufacturing defect, but no, he picked the wrong type of fitting to use. That right there should tell you this guy is a hack and he's got no idea what he's doing. You and I may not know much about different tapered thread profiles, sealing angles, or whatever it is that he got wrong, but you'd think that that would be important information for someone that's supposed to be engineering fuel hoses for a high-pressure direct injection fuel system to be familiar with. Not to mention, he should have performed adequate testing to find this flaw instead of letting his customer base do it for him.
And didn't the guy try charging for the "kit" to fix what was wrong with the first iteration of the product? Real class act right there.
After all this came to light, it's shocking people let him near their GTR's. I wouldn't trust the guy to tune my lawnmower.
