The videos will never do justice as to how fucking loud this car really is... incredible to see it in person at gridlife!
Seconded. I am now deaf but happy to have seen the 4-rotor in person
Hanging out with rob and Isaiah on Sunday was incredible. Y’all are the most down to earth people. I can’t wait to see this thing rocking gingerman again
Lucky bastard, the likelihood of me seeing the 4-rotor in person in my lifetime is so low
Rotaries are so crazy and ear-piercingly loud aren't they? LOL
Rob where's the 10k rpm ? I missed it 😔
The fact that Rob doesn't bother to ask for likes or subscribers is the reason I subscribed...dude only cares about cars and I love it!!
So did I 💪🏽
Same!
doesn't have to
Same
Shouldnt matter, reminding people for liking/subbing doesn't take away anything from people love of cars. Rob's at the point that he can throw up minorly edited content and he's got a large enough audience with interesting enough content that it does it for him.
4 ROTOR CONTENT. ROB IS BACK BETTER THAN EVER! I've been waiting for this.
Hey Rob, also was the car intentionally at no boost the whole time?
Wasn't he building a retro Indycar
@@khobaibzafar3601 he said it wasnt even going to be running more than 50% ability
It’s just a grey rx8
We have all been waiting for this🙌🏼
It was an honor to meet and shoot those rollers with you, Rob. Easily the most insane car I've ever seen in person
Can't lie that was some excellent camera work
THANK YOU for not putting music or talking over the driving portion of the video!!!!!
The pure asmr of this car running is all that we need
Hearing that anti lag was something else. Laughed out loud like an 8 year old lol. A group of us were walking over from the camping when we heard you pull onto the track… we all immediately started sprinting over.
Great to see ahura and meet all of y’all last weekend!
Getting so close! I'm so excited to see this thing "finished" with the body on and all!
At this rate you will have to wait approximately another 5-150 years.
Wheres the 10k rpm ? I missed it.
*finished
The fact that it’s driving should be enough. Lol.
Finnish people would love to see this finnished.
Major 787B vibes going on here. This is a huge step for you and your journey with this car, and I'm sure you are very excited. Super stoked for you brother.
You should watch Defined Autoworks if you don't already. That thing is the OG four rotor build and the guy actually made a replica of the R26B (actual 787B motor). It's cool to see the differences between setups like Rob's, The TCB Magic cars and PPRE vs. an R26 style build. If you're a giant nerd like me, the R26 stuff is so cool! Center housing coolant inlet/outlets, the whole engine bolts together from both sides to the center iron instead of through studs. Really cool.
Yeah Benny is right. Technically Logan’s car sounds way more accurate since it’s NA. But I love the extra power and turbo noises 😂
@@RobDahm JGTC GT300 4 Rotor AWD RX7 FTW!
@@connoisseuroftigolbitts it wouldnt fit at all
@@RobDahmturbo go woosh rotors go vroom
To go along with the firewalls, a good extinguisher system would be well worth it. I have seen way to many cars go up that don’t need to. Also for you a 5 point harness might be something worth installing. Many tracks anymore won’t let you run 4 points due to submarining.
Keep up the good work man this things awesome!
I've never heard the term "submarining". Is when people slide down and out of harness?
@@CaptainLicorice if i remember right its from being forced down and out of the seat and under the harness during an accident which can be dangerous to your neck and spine. can also happen without the harness being properly attached in the correct position
You don't need to entirely slip out of the harness for it to be submarining. The dangerous part of submarining is, when the lower part of the Belt slips into you abdomen and presses upwards. This can cause very nasty internal injuries. Some street cars even have anti-submarining airbags in the seat under the thighs to prevent this. A Reclined seating position without proper thigh support will favor submarining.
Something like what Cleetus has on his El Camino would be good regarding the fire exstinguisher
you can also get antisubmarining 4 points, not certain how good they are or if they bypass regs
I have respect for you man. Tuning your own car, building your own car, fixing the issues with your own car, and I have a lot of hopes up for you man and you are talented and have a lot of motivation to keep this project going.
It’s been a rough week, but this made my month, so happy to see your dream on the track. Been following since sema, definitely one of the most amazing and inspirational builds I’ve seen, nothing but passion and love
Hope things get better soon man
Watching Rob is a nice escape from the bullshit that seems to be everywhere… chin up bro…
which sema 🤣
@@noahwainwright4774 2016 when it was sitting in the garret booth
Wishing you well brotha
Sounds just like I would imagine a 787 with a turbo. Insane. Greetings from a long time watcher from Germany!
Come enjoy a worse country than yours hoss and see the 4 rotor in person. better yet buy yourself something wankel powered.
Jet engines are kind of like big turbos.
So proud of you Rob. Every single video leading up to this has been amazing and you deserve it so much.
it's a shame we couldn't just fly over to the us, having practically been there from the start this would have been amazing to see.
Seeing this in person at Gridlife was bonkers. Necks were snapped, and the backfires echo’d from turn 3 across to turn 1. It was wild!
This makes me feel so old, and so happy. I don't even remember how old I was when Rob started this build but I'm 24 now and seeing it (mostly) done and finally ripping on a track is mind blowing. Insanely stoked for you!
I was around 15 or 16 when the build was first announced, here I am about to be 23 next month lol.
Oh nostalgia
Lmao wasn’t he supposed to race rob spaghetti
25 myself and I had the exact same thought.
same here only 21 tho
Wish I could have made it out there to Grid Life, but It was such a pleasure to FaceTime!
I just want to say you’ve served as an massive source of inspiration for me the last year.
I was really fortunate to land a job I wasn’t anywhere near qualified for on a DevOps team in early 2021. My lack of technical knowledge being a challenge every single day. But watching you and Isaiah take on the AWD 4 Rotor with extremely limited technical experience given the job at hand, has helped me a ton.
I try every day to emulate your refusal to allow yourself to be intimidated by things you don’t presently posses the technical ability to complete by breaking them into smaller attainable parts or tasks.
If an IT guy named Rob can build a race car most said was impossible in his garage, then I, an IT guy, can do slightly harder IT stuff.
🏁❤️
10:00 - rob I’ve been commenting about this forever. Firewall / floor seal the hatch. I feel like such a winger lol. But from a Australian motorsport standpoint you wouldn’t stand a chance getting any track time without these pieces
Seriously so many of us have been going on about this for years 🤣
Considering we have to cut some of the chassis out to do those things i have valid reason to minimize the rework. I’m not avoiding it. I just physically can’t do it the way the first chassis shop screwed it up.
@@RobDahm maybe you can you build a box over the fuel system with a clear lid for inspection instead of a firewall. It's what I've done in my turd. Nz has fairly strict safety on track aswell and it's a fairly common method here.
Maybe I am a different animal but my god... nearly enough gas, showing up to an event and shipping the car 1600 miles but not knowing the requirements or knowing them and going even though you can’t meet the requirements...I do know he is doing something I dont have the balls to do but if I did I wouldn’t be running out of gas.... this is from a patron supporter too!
@@sean7119 I think he had a sponsorship obligation to have the cars there, but didn't think he would be able to race due to the lack of safety equipment. So he didn't need a bunch of fuel, just enough to dick around ... which is exactly what happened lol. Those were my takeaways.
I'm ~almost~ as invested in the 4 rotor as I am Leon the Lobster. So proud of you Rob and Co 💕
I swear I've never had an original experience in my life 😂
I love Leon.
Same!! Leon is awesome!
LOL Leon the lobster 🤣🤣
Making us rotary owners proud. Love my rx8.
love my KM48 Sachs
RX8's are not even in the same league LMAO
@@ProtomanBlues right but let’s not downgrade the guy lol
@@ProtomanBlues they can be lol. Just like any other car if it’s because it doesn’t have pop ups you sound 12 years old
@Megatron Knows same
i lowkey was hoping and i opened youtube and there it was…
the most beautiful thing i have ever seen
Daddy Robs 4 wheel drive 4 Rotar… mmm bless the gods 🙏🏽
that's so cool that the tech guy let you get it out on the track. Some tech guys can be a real pain in the ass and not budge on stuff. I do understand their job and having to abide by the rules most of the time. But there is usually a way to still do things safely with a compromise and this guy handled it perfectly by letting you just get out on the track at the end all alone and just doing a casual lap or two.
And then when you went out for the rolling shots, around the 23:36 mark I swear the front end looks like Johnny 5's head/face from the "Short Circuit" movie. That view with the front end all exposed, those specific headlights and radiator plus your side view mirrors sitting at just the right spot completely gives the same look and feeling as Johnny 5's head. Completely unintentional but once you see it, you can't unsee it.
you can tell that tech guy was impressed and was curious to see it "perform"
Number 5 alive
That is a good tech guy that understands risk and knows his stiff and is responsible and protects the track! Without being oppressive and still letting people take risk they are full aware of and personally responsible for….
immediately thought of short circuit!!!!
He should not have let the car near a track. No firewall, totally open gearbox, exhausts not covered etc etc. POS that has no right to be on a track. It may have a thousand ricer horses but it is still just a chicken cooker. With half the body panels missing. And puking oil everywhere.
READ the rules for the event.
I suspect my work ute would be faster!!
このシリーズは最初から観ていますが、AWDRX-7もさることながら目標に邁進するRobさんがメチャクチャかっこいいです！
2:25 it's so heartwarming to see them getting to know their undercover sales rep for the first time
The 4 rotor screaming and then gear shift at @16:00 🤯. All the other little sounds too, the fuel burning, the whine of the gearbox, and then the "omg, wow". It's like a five second symphony of sounds 🔥!
5:05 Awww, Uncle Rob and Uncle Isaiah - you guys make the cutest rotary-powered power couple on UA-cam!
You guys are getting those Initial D style shots, the car slowing down amd getting closer to the camera, the slight visible body roll and the car spitting flames.
That was beautiful
1:26 the superior rotary chassis tearing up the track 😍😂
we have all been waiting for this moment
Holy Ghost
15:04 is the look of happiness. Congratulations, @RobDahm …hard work pays off!
1. I don't think Rob and Isiah (I hope I spelt that right), get enough attention for how much work they've put into this car. Its bloody beautiful and sounds AMAZING (I'm sure even better in real life). The attention to detail and the amazing craftmanship in this car is something to be admired....
2. Will you guys ever sell any posters from those rolling shots? I'd be glad to buy one as this thing is hands down my favourite car build on YT right now.
Spelled*****
it doesnt sound good, it sounds mind-blowingly loud
not even motorcycles would rival this car in terms of how loud it is
Damn. Safety tech said “we don’t mind if YOU triple roll over and wrap yourself around a tree, we mind if you make someone else triple roll over and get wrapped around a tree.”
Congrats Rob. You can see on your face how much this meant to you.
The 1st person shots had me standing up off the couch!!! What a monster! 💪
I have been waiting for this video catching snippets of the 4 rotor at grid life. Love what you do Rob
Not even a minute in and I’m speechless. Today has already been one of the best days of my life and seeing Rob rip is everything and more. God bless❤️
Props for having the relentless dedication to the most amazing,unreliable,abstract,legendary internal combustion of all time engine. A few UA-cam clips of a Mazda 787B made millions of us interested whole quad Dorito thing for life hahaha 🤣
15:30 onwards the sound of the engine and the pops and bangs from the exhaust are literally crazy. The backfires sound sublime in the distance. Luckily I have a nice pair of stereo headphones and it really made the car sound incredibly astounding. Probably the best sounding turbo rotary engine ever!
Headphones aren't stereo, I agree with the rest though ;)
@@sensoryoverload673 headphones aren't stereo? Can you please elaborate?
@@sensoryoverload673 they have two speakers, a left and a right. that is the definition of stereo isnt it? i dont follow.
@@Zebness990 I'm just nitpicking tbh, but it's more accurate to call them binaural (one driver per ear). The difference with speakers (stereo) is that the sound from the left speaker still reaches your right ear, and vice versa. With headphones that doesn't happen. Not sure why I bothered to make that comment though... But uhh here you go.
Haha audio technician nitpicking :D you are 100% correct though
It was amazing to see and hear the RX-7 in person this past weekend. That anti-lag is something else.
It was so cool getting to meet you and see this thing in person. The car sounds insane and you can just tell how much this means and how passionate you guys are seeing you talk about it with so many fans for hours. Super proud of you guys.
Can see Rob is absolutely buzzing seeing this car now after the years of work building it. Literally cannot wipe the smile off his face. What a freaking build, can’t wait for more
That thing sounds insane. You could tell it didn’t like going half throttle and it wanted to to go full send. This thing is gonna be crazy when it’s fully finished and all dialed in.
Yeah my imagination runs wild thinking about a race car driver behind the wheel when it's fully tuned
Why is it breaking up at 6-7k Rpms? Shouldn't it be smooth the whole way up?
For years i wanted to see a AWD 4 rotor turbo on the track, and finally got to see one, at least on video. Thanks to Rob and his crew for making this type of content.
All the work you guys have put into the car is absolutely amazing! to see it preform like it dose is a dream come true!
I would like to thank you Rob for igniting my passion for cars, I´ve been following you for roughly 4 years and its amazing to see you and the car both grow as the time goes
your car build and your car has made my son (2 years old) fall in love with Mazda rx7! I am eternally grateful 😍😍😍
i love that you said " don't subscribe, don't like the video, Just enjoy" you got my sub for that one liner....!
God this thing is amazing seeing it in person and being able to talk to you about it really made me and my friends week, month, year, forever. So glad to see your dream go on its maiden voyage. But the video does not do this justice to how it sounds in person, feels like a cannon going off from across the track and shakes the ground! Absolutely insane!!!
Those laps were completely earned! Very cool of them to allow you to collect more data. Absolutely amazing!
So amazing to see in person, the sounds are incredible, you feel the shifts in your chest from a mile away lmfao. Amazing job Rob!!
Have been watching this Journey Since i was a Junior in High School Im 22 now and We finally get a track day, This car needs to come to New Zealand, Everybody Goes mad for Rotary Especially a Freaking 26b, Love the Hard work you have put into this Masterpiece, And thanks for all The Late nights these last 7 years watching you work
The car's headlights and housing around it, make it look scared of what's ahead. Don't let this discourage you Rob! FULL SEND!
Sounds so brutally insane, I actually laughed out loud. I couldn't imagine driving it just because of the grin i'd have covering my eyes. Amazing job boys!
This was incredible to see in person. Dahm and crew were super fun to talk to. It was wild to see it come to fruition on the track. This thing is by far the loudest and most unique sounding thing I’ve ever heard. The video doesn’t even catch the backfires between shifts. Thanks for contributing to a rad weekend
So awesome seeing the car and talking to you a bit rob! As others have said, the car sounds WAY better in person. I could feel those shifts in my chest across the track
Isiah and Rob have the best chemistry of any UA-cam channel out there.
that introduction was actually so accurate, this is the typa video you sit down and watch the whole thing because the whole entire VIDEO WAS EARGASMS ON EARGASMS. so much work coming together its amazing
Looking forward to seeing you appear in gears and gasoline's video judging by the parking space proximity!
You have no idea how happy I am to see this thing on a track! Huge congrats for getting to this point and I really look forward to seeing it progress more and more.
Thank you Rob, you have made my evening ❤️
A friend of mine had twin turbo RX7. After it spooled it it would launch. Great car, I loved driving it! This car is that kinda stuff that will take you too the moon and back. Love this furious beast. Bald Eagle Screeech!🦅
Love how excited Rob was in the intro. He’s living the dream.
I feel like I've been waiting half my life to see this thing go over 20mph
and youll wait the other half of your life for it to get all its body panels
Such an honor to drive that big honking Yukon in front of this thing for those rolling shots. Beautiful car man!
I will say the 4 rotor sounds amazing at the higher rpm. Great build.
all the hard work and sacrifice is visible in every smile on your face. only a true car car can really know the feeling. congratulations, the journey continues.
Liked the video before it even started, I've been saving to watch this. I'm glad I waited for it with surround sound.
Great to see you, Isiah and the car in person. We were up on the hill by the RVs and was a great vantage point. That thing is insane and loud AF in person. Reminded me of sonic booms when you were headed down the straights. Thanks for sharing it with us.
That car is a beast! I’ve watched it from the beginning and happy to see it running! Only thing bad is the mpg, you’ll pass every thing except the gas station 😂
Only if other UA-camrs had your same passion for there builds …this car sounds amazing omg
I dont normally watch videos in full but this video was epic. Watched the whole thing from start to finish! Love it.
Congrats on one million. I’ve come back to watch again because it sounds so damn good
Every time i watch one of Rob's videos i learn something new. He lets everyone know anything he uses and that is rare in the car community these days espescially from tuners, they all want to keep theyre secrets
Also would there not be some way of intergrating an oil injection system for 2stroke oil? Would make heat control a little better considering you dont need to run rich on overrun and also maybe keep lubrication more stable and induce less wear on apex seals?
I've been watching since the parts were stolen by ups. It's crazy to see how far this car has come
It sounds amazing on the shift! You've come such a long way, Congratulations.
Rob Dahm, id like to let you know that I'm a big fan and have watched all your videos. you are one of my highest inspirations and motivate me to work harder.
Rob, my guy. So freaking pumped for you man. So glad I found you years ago. The growth of the channel mixed with your growth in the technical side has been awesome to watch. Hope to see the 4 rotor in person soon.
WOW that sounds good 😳
I absolutely love this car so much. Way to go Rob. I’ve enjoyed every video you have done on this car
Nice that the official’s there were very respectful of the safety with ever and still let you do a couple laps each night. Bummer but good they care about the safety of everyone with the cars. . Seeing this in person and hearing it is crazy definitely can’t wait for more with this car. Big congrats to you Rob. Un- forgettable memory for sure
Seeing those flames shoot out the exhaust with each shift reminded me of the factory Mazdas at the 12 hours of Sebring back in the day! Made an old man smile.💪👌
I can't describe what I'm feeling when I hear that sound, it's going deep into my heart!
I'm looking at this video and I'm smiling like a little child who found a new favorite toy to play with
Thanks for sharing this!
You definitely are incredible Rob!
The reason anti lag was on was because of not having button covers right? Put em on please ;)
And as you mentioned suspension. Are you going to add custom setting to the shocks for every use? Like launching that beaut or track days.
And add a firewall this project will sadly not be finished if you burned to a crisp!
This project will never be finished. Robs turned the worlds slowest build into a youtube channel, nobody remembers his old Lambo days. Idont know why he insists on not having this tuned by professionals. Everyone wants this build over with, its dragged on far too long.
@@NoBallsInWomensStalls I don't.
@@NoBallsInWomensStalls speak for yourself brother. We want to see Rob and Co. build this car not some 'professionals'
@@NoBallsInWomensStalls Robs vids are the only ones where a 30 min - 1 hour vid feels too short, and thats good because rob's build series is good at retaining the viewers interest. We'd rather see the car slowly being built
@@webb2800 Rob isn't a professional tuner. Its not a slight against Rob, its just a fact that a Pro tuner could do the job in a fraction of the time while doing it SAFELY. Robs destroyed soo many parts over the years for various reasons, but after you invest well over $250k + years of time the least anybody could do is protect the investment by hiring a Pro tuner. This aint no Camry, its a masterpiece thats never going to be finished if Rob has anything to do with it.
What a wild car! So cool to watch, even with a few tune issues!
Sounds amazing.
@@802Garage Indeed! Hard to beat the sound of a 4-Rotor!
Who else wants him to bring it back to This vs That for Part 2
Once it's finished, I bet it will be the protagonist of a this vs that season.
If they do it on a track and not a Backcountry gravel road
I'm in tears watching this. this is the most beautiful creation in the world
Robby boy your living my bachelor auto nerd dream right now!!!! I'm so proud of you guys and the monsters that your building
Rob could you do some runs on the drag strip soon? I really want to see that thing 1. Wind all the way out and 2. Get a 1/4mile benchmark... for science.
Having been endurance racing, one of the hard things is making sure you have enough oil but enough space for it all to heat up and not impact the engine, etc
I can't even describe how insanely loud this car was to hear in person
Bless you got to experience it. I have faith I will one day
Most beautiful build on UA-cam and maybe the entire world
So close to one million. YOU CAN DO IT!- Rob Schneider in every movie
best thing about this guy is that his smile is real, he loves what he does.
Him not begging for subs is what made me sub.. such a humble cool person
Honestly didn't want to see this video end. That car is insane
I really appreciate the ~10 minutes of minimally edited footage of this machine going around the track
Looks rock solid, it will be a beast when finish.
Looks gorgeous.
Fine tuning and done.
This video made me emotional watching it! Just the sound is incredible
It's so crazy that like a decade ago I watched what would probably be the inspiration for Tai Lopez's "Here in my garage" with Rob's video about business mindset where he really was out there in his garage with his lambo, to now seeing him with 1M+ subs and just having the most fun anyone can have doing what he loves current day. I'm not sure if I never subscribed or if just somehow became unsubscribed but man what a wild and strange trip it has been. Thank you for all the amazing content over the years, it has been much appreciated. Even covering your engine being stolen has helped me along my way by making me feel like not such an idiot when I've had bad things happen to me (usually my own fault) because in the end, it all worked out, and it always does. Thanks Rob
What a weird wild ride it’s been. I dreamed of being at this step and yet I can stop trying to push things further.
Stretching this project out as long as you can and I LOOOVVEE IT!
Maaaaaan it's sounding good. Reminds me of the 787b days, that sound brings a tear to my eye.
Mahn I’m so glad this build is going smoothly. Been following since the start but only checking in every now and then and dude I’m more impatient than you are to see the final results. I was 14 when I first tuned in and I’m 20 now so seeing the progress your making is so nostalgic super happy for you and insanely excited for the years to come when it’s a finished build. Gg man 🤌🏻 honestly hats off to you rob!
