Mike is more than just a Nissan and TRD specialist - the car they worked with pretty recently was the Evasive Pikes Peak 86 that won the unlimited class.
Rob I'm a 17 year old kid from South Africa and I just want you to know that you are a huge inspiration,your the main reason why I am fascinated in the world of the rotary and I'm slowly but surely saving up to buy a 13B that my uncle has from his FD (it was in a rear in crash) and looking forward to your 13B build series/guide, continue doing what your are doing because you are Inspiring many people across the world
Hey, we're all proud of you here in the comments dude, get your rotary and tear up some streets! Live your dream, good luck! I hope you'll release a video for us all to see when you finish your car. :)
It's great to see this comment as I was just like this 3 years ago, I'm also a young South African car enthusiast, hope you manage to get the 13b and if you want someone to talk cars with, just send me a message here.
Well yeah bro... he’s a mobile alignment company. jokes aside, good for him getting his name out there and getting his reputation established. Being in business for yourself is a struggle to get going first couple years.
@@BrutalFates I said the same thing. I have to imagine he had a hell of an easier time with this car than those. Can't get much easier than being able to reach right in and adjust shocks and take out tie rod ends.
motoip man has to be the human representation of "loving your job"... He made ME excited about his job just seeing how excited and happy he got during his introduction. Just that 1:30 of him talking made my really crap day better and inspired me to be more happy. Thank you suspension man.
Mike is a badass. I’ve been following him since the 90s when he was an editor at Sport Compact Car. When the magazine went defunct I was so glad to find out he continued his ventures at MotoIQ
For a fans perspective it's amazing how you jump from doing burnouts with a pink dress from having your dream car and the most unique piece of modern cars, hope one day could meet you irl
I'm sort of guessing that this is going to line up against the Hoonicorn (which we know from earlier videos) for Hoonigan's "This versus That" series. Looking forward to it! BTW, I ALSO forget how wide that meat is every time I see it. :-D
all i have to say is THANK YOU ROB DAHM, you pushed me to do more with my cars. An average guy, with shop space and an idea created one of the most amazing cars ever built. No lift, no 500k dollar r&d team, no fancy over the top equipment. Now i try to fab and re engineer as much as i can when it comes to my crazy car ideas. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO ROB!
@Rob - I love the fact that you allow all those young guys to learn from the more experienced/knowledgeable guys that come and do work. Its so refreshing to see (coming from an older guy).
Its so amazing seeing this project coming together. I have been watching since the start and its just so cool seeing it finally becoming a finished ish project.
right now since about 1 year ago i watch all robs videos, and i cant wait for the next one. sometimes i check all day long to see if he uploaded. this build is the greatest i ever watched. rob u are a great dude.
14:50 If you connect a little hose to the bleeder, and put the hose in the bottle DOT fluid you can pump it by yourself. This trick works well for brakes. The air goes out and it sucks up fluid instead of air.
i have been watching the channel since 2016 and i have watched every video start to finish of the rx7 build since day 1. its insane how far its come in the last year. I check youtube daily to see if there's any new videos. big supporter and enjoy the content cant wait to see what's to come in the next few months. amazing build keep up the hard work dude!!!
Just did a 15+ video binge to catch up and holy shit!!! Been an avid watcher since the 4 rotor was a 2 and you guys have a real way of pushing the limits on how far someone's jaw can drop lol all joking aside Fabrication Father would be an AMAZING welding teacher and both of you have definitely pushed me to learn more about how to weld and welding.
This machine is just incredible, I'm happy that you have gotten this much progress done on this build, but who am I kidding you are one of the best Rotory guys out there. Keep up the good work and have fun in the big race comming up Big ups all the way from South Africa🇿🇦
So beautiful how so many people came together in this project to help you build your dream car, and I'm sure their vision of their dream car as well. Love the shot of where everyone was working on each piece of the car at the same time. Just awesome.
Holy shit, you know it's serious business when you're bringing Mike in to help with the suspension setup! Been a MotoIQ reader since the early Disco Potato days, and I have nothing but respect admiration for the man and the things he does. And that outro gave me chills and a wicked grin. Fuuuuuck is this car going to MOVE!
This channel just became so much more interesting in the past three months. Everything's coming together finally! Can't wait to see it race with the full body assembled. Also, gotta love Rob's excitement starting up the engine. Sounds incredible.
Yes yes yes !!!! This Video ist sick Love how everything comes together and the effort all the Guys Put in. And the acceleration at the end was sooo good . Can't wait for more
Not gonna lie, that sounds like heresy. But the more I think about it, the more interesting it sounds! FF Hondas can make amazing racecars, why not an FD?
thats a ton of work to make a chassis thats engineered to be FR just strictly worse. thats not even bringing up the fact that you need an entirely custom transmission, drivetrain, front end, susopension and so forth
@@ValentineC137 No disagreement here - it's just a fun thought experiment. But looking at Rob's Ahura, he literally has a working FF platform with some extra bits tacked on, lol.
Omg on that outro. Rob this is the greatest channel period. Thank you and the crew for being themselves and all that! The education, the laughs... it’s all genuine and it shows. Good god that car might be the best sounding car I’ve ever heard 😱 😍🤤😈👹👺 Big fan
Don’t you want a small amount of positive camber in the rear for a drag setup? So when it squats during a launch, the camber will end up around zero degrees, and the tire will be using its full contact patch.
After having so many people touch the car make sure you spanner check every but and bolt, use a pain pen to mark the ones checked and put pain on the boot/nut and surface its holds to for ease of identitying looseness over time
So a Nissan and TRD specialist is tuning your suspension? That is soo cool! You can't get more JDM than that. Your Ahura is now blessed!
Mike is more than just a Nissan and TRD specialist - the car they worked with pretty recently was the Evasive Pikes Peak 86 that won the unlimited class.
@@evoraptor Hope Rob win as well
It's crazy to see all the progress on this build. I remember watching Carthrottles video about the 4 rotor and I've been watching ever since
It’s going to be broken in the next video

He is really a huge inspiration for many

Wouldn't know... Cancelled the video before the end to get one step ahead of Rob 😉🤣
Those in their 20's may not know not know who Mik Kojima is but all you need to know is he's a f*cking LEGEND in the import scene.
I lectured my wife on him lololol
I KNEW he looked familiar
Did he ever work with the Spoon guys and their race program?
That alignment dude is EVERYWHERE lol.
I was gonna say isn't that the guy donut had from low/high car

i love it when it's late night, i have school in the morning and a notification pops up with a video like this that keeps me up
Oh

Mate, I have a TS physics EOT test tomorrow, and it's 11:15... Heh...
The face when you turn the key for the first time is pure joy. Congratulations on all the success its great to see!
15:18 best outro so far :D
video stops to a wall or it teases next video :D need to see more
I came
The fucking sound this car makes, unreal.
@@ColaFx next video will make u sad
@@mysterywoodwrath292 why ? ):
I remember Mike Kojima from my tuner days in the mid 90s when he wrote for Sport Compact Car mag. Brings back memories. I miss my Classic Se-R.
My nether region got an alignment after this notification
nice

giving this comment a thumbs up but I'm not happy about it

This is not even its final form
15:20 the most glorious way to lose your hearing.
Where is this race?
What!?
You and I both know we’d all be standing there going deaf with a chub if we could lol
Doesnt look like the burntacan is on the list anymore. B is for boring

You’ll have to wait about a month more bro

Are u serious Rob? Just wanted to sleep, now i have to see the video first🤣
No sleep. only 4 rotors

Hell yeah Rob! And Mike is awesome!
Can we all take a moment to appreciate the fact that the outro was actually pretty good. Nice job w/ the car stuff to btw. 🤣
@Rob - I love the fact that you allow all those young guys to learn from the more experienced/knowledgeable guys that come and do work. Its so refreshing to see (coming from an older guy).
Rob and the vargas brothers are my main inspiration for building kitcars with the 13b-msp. ❤👍🏻
Its so amazing seeing this project coming together. I have been watching since the start and its just so cool seeing it finally becoming a finished ish project.
Is this the same Mike who was Dai Yoshihara's crew shief when he won the FD championship ? what a legend ...
right now since about 1 year ago i watch all robs videos, and i cant wait for the next one. sometimes i check all day long to see if he uploaded. this build is the greatest i ever watched. rob u are a great dude.
Man the progress on this thing, so amazing. Love that you also show us the technical side of things as well. Fucking awesome man.
So glad I watched til the end. That may be the most beautiful thing I've ever heard, AND the best outro to a video I've ever seen.
Do you think when he realized how it actually weighted, he said «Dahm that’s heavy as shit!!»
Much love, your friends at Rev Media!!
My lil honda easily 1000 pounds lol

Rob Dahm: king of no outros
Good to see Mike helping out! Always enjoy his comments and thoughts on suspensions
Just wanted to go to sleep. But Rob just uploaded so 15 more minutes😅
Awesome to see the critical details finally coming together. Looks like a time consuming but very rewarding process to align her.
did you ever sort out the transmision oil spewing out the top ? it was mentioned a ton on your dyno video.
Yeah I think it was a bad rubber bushing where the wires go into the unit. I think he's fixed that now.
@@EVLS10 id hope so, however when he's putting the fluid in the entire gap is still open to the left of where he's pouring?

Appreciate the immense amount of work that's gone into this, great viewing pleasure! Keeping in the loop from UK

This building is becoming BONKERS!! I love it and the attention to detail. You’re definitely living the dream Rob ❤️
last time I was this quick I beat a 4 rotor in a drag race
Getting there slowly. All your hard work is paying off. Well can’t wait to the race

literal definition of built not bought
It’s so cool seeing all those guys help out. So awesome!
SO, ALIGN WITH NO DOORS AND HOOD AND DRIVER BUT FULL TANK INSTEAD OF 1/2 TANK FUEL?
They're probably going to be carbon fiber and weigh very little
@@ClosedPenguin When the alignment was complete, Rob should have sat in the driver's seat while the align equipment was still on the car - any change?

I love robs personality, working with him must be such a treat..
I can't wait to see this thing in full rip on the road! The hoonigan AWD burnout was sick and all but we need to see it in the road!
Rob, you're my effin hero. Not because of who you are or what you do, but because of why you do it!
So freaking bad ass, I rewatched the last 10 seconds like 6 times. Good luck rob can’t wait for the next video
I love it man,. The fact you actually love what you are doing, makes it a whole lot much better to watch....
Don’t you want a small amount of positive camber in the rear for a drag setup? So when it squats during a launch, the camber will end up around zero degrees, and the tire will be using its full contact patch.
From memory they are doing 1/2 mile drag so alignment for the high speed finish is probably much more important than a little extra traction at launch
Killing it man. Come so far and you got this. Good luck with all the races
I love Mike! Dude has so much knowledge. Get all you can Rob!
Mike is the man I'm following his EP3 Civic build to the T and so far it drives like a dream, man knows his shit
I've been on this channel since the original 3-rotor and it's been so satisfying to watch the haters disappear over the years. Awesome stuff!
I save your Robs vids to watch right before i sleep! Rotary dreams!
Love seeing the stock color here and there just glossy blueish green!
.... the build up continues... been waiting on this for a long time! Nice job fellas, all those little details... 👏
Sounds so good, look forward to the race
INSANE!!! So happy for you Rob!!!
Kojima!!! He is the smartest engineering guy I know.
This is such a beautiful and awesome car I thoroughly enjoy watching every single one of these videos! Keep it up man

JDM for JDM it's perfect. I can't wait to see the final build. Am getting more exited. Insane!
Yesss new video! Looking forward to the race!
this is my fav build i ever seen
The sound ❤️
Start up sounded amazing, build is looking phenomenal
Mike Kojima is an OG! Amazing that you got him on board!
