I cannot wait to actually see this thing driving. The engineering of this is amazing to see but nothing satisfies me more than seeing it all come together in the maiden voyage!
The sound of that 4 rotor you filmed at sema is addictive! I cant wait to hear your 4 rotor. I think this car is going to be a dream come true I wish I could see this in real life
Rob, if you need ground clearance under the engine for a sump, would you consider doing a Dry Sump system? That way you could have a flat base on the engine and not worry about anything underneath Im not super knowledgeable about rotarys, so I'm not sure it works, but idk!
This car is gunna be probably the fastest thing you've ever driven Rob. You should film yourself taking like driving lessons on a race track so you can be prepared to get as much as you can out of the 4 rotor when she's done. I'd be down to watch some track stuff.~
That’s my goal. Some of them might not be as entertaining as I am waiting on custom parts. But the daily format helps push my vendors along to move faster. So I love it too.
I'm worried about the driver seat being to close to the door, obviously it's difficult to tell on camera but you look so far over since the trans is so much in the way... it's crazy how much is being fit into such a small space, my brain actually hurts having to think about the amount of obstacles you have to work through lmao... This build will never cease to amaze me.
On the BMW forums today somebody had made a diff back plate like yours and people were expressing concern as OEM are designed with oil lubrication in mind and a flat inside face doesn’t work as well, might be worth considering, love the build 👍
Watch a video with a flat see through cover compared to a normal one, its like an oil shit storm on the diff even at slow speeds, with the amount of oil being thrown about on both

Can you make it to were your front diff is able to use a slip yoke? Like change the style of flange? If you could it makes it smaller and is still plenty strong. Idk if you can or not but just an idea...that thing is going to be so bad ass when finished. Thank you for documenting and building this amazing machine!
Check helmet space rob. Your heads close to the frame but what’s it like with a helmet on cause you don’t want to find out you need to move the seat after it’s all done.
Hey Rob.! I have been subscribed for a couple of years and never miss an upload.. The progress on this build is INSANE.! I wanted to say something from a followers point of view (if this opinion has any weight lol). I say the podcast you made with T-Jay and Calvin.. I have watched it like 10 times.. You go in detail so much into this build and the content was of SOOOOOO much value for us viewers.. Maybe you should add or link that video here (i am not promoting other channels, hope this is understandable) and also would like to ask-recomend that you do some videos like that for us fans explaining some things that are going on or are in progress that we dont really get to see.. Just seing you talk about it really got me hypped.. I think more people will feel the excitment with videos like that :)
All the greatest crazy people come from Michigan (just found out that's were your from)... question for the car, Why the quick change rear end other than power limit? Isn't that the front and rear gear ratios have to match?
Rob, Promise me that I will see this car in person, This car is gonna be EPIC ! OMG ! I am loving, your brain the thinking put into the designing...totally rules.. 😁👍💋
Considering he has an insane suspension setup, will be running meaty tires, and has probably one of the smoothest possible motors it shouldn't be too bad.
I'm worried about the fron diff cover being custom made like that especially considering the speeds this will be capable of. Factory diff covers are designed to flow the gear oil back where it is needed fast and efficiently.
Watch a video with a flat see through cover compared to a normal one, its like an oil shit storm on the diff even at slow speeds, with the amount of oil being thrown about on both.
4 rotor better end up on donut media
Do a Up To Speed on Rob Dahm
couldn't get up to speed the thing will be too damn fast
I'm surprised alpha Rob could fit all that thickness in that seat.
THICC
Did I make a second account wtf
Thicc boye
Wait this thing is actually gonna be a car soon wow
Ashley Fisher ikr I thought this day would never happen.
'soon'
Rob rocking a Hellephant shirt, nice. I hope that’s a clue for a future project!
One day, just one day, this build will be finished. Imagine that.

Dont forget the extra space for a helmet budsy
This
Don't forget that seats flex a lot, and you may bang your head against the cage.
@Sean Price who hurt you?
Sean Price u mad he got an rx7 and you don’t
Watching the vlogs of this car and hearing you talk ab it actually get me excited to see the car
i LOVE WHAT YOU DID WITH THE FRONT DIFF.. awesome build man keep it up
4 rotor content? Made my day
I hope this build is finished before my funeral

Im not super knowledgeable about rotarys, so I'm not sure it works, but idk!
Ive said this before but your outros are straight FIRE lmao keep up the awesome updates.
This has got to be the longest i have waited on a build to see it being ran.
Just what I needed man!! Getting my AWD FD FIX!!!
This project has a full heart and full effort, cant wait to see all the worth Rob ❤💨

This is the reason I want an rx-7, it's a platform most people who owns actually cares about rather than just having it as a normal car.
Love seeing the progress and seeing the amazing details and struggles you put into this. Awesome vision man. Keep up the amazing work
I live a simple life I see a rob dahm video...I click it
Damn it’s coming along. Insane what your all achieving. Keep the content coming my friend.
*Dahm
I should be in bed because it’s 12am but awd 4 rotor video is better then sleep
5 am here in the PNW #earlygang
its 8am lol
Nearly 7pm here
I wish I could sleep in the middle of the day.
@@dembrowi_n_c.5111 hahaha I was going to point that out but you did it better
Damn insane seeing the new video 4 years after this video where it really got started.
Coming along nicely, Rob!
I'm assuming you're going to make a beefy skid plate to protect the oil pan?
Would love to see this and the hoonicorn together in a video someday Rob make it happen 😍😍
Front diff capable of 800hp? Are you gonna have a rear wheel bias for power?
Correct. wider rear tire. And accommodating for weight transfer as well
@@RobDahm Woo I got a heart and a reply from alpha rob! Living the content keep up the awesome build!
Just my question I thought it 2k hp
@@ridedawn2071 It won't be sending 2k through the front diff, though. Most of the power will go to the rear wheels.
Rear wheel bias is ideal for better and harder launches on a drag strip
I actually can't wait till this is done, it's going to be EPIC!
Progress is sure coming along! Looks great!
Rob, aren't you concerned about getting debris into the intake ports? I would tape those suckers closed.
Hopefully it's just as Rowdy has that one that was on the dyno the sound that thing made was beautiful
Très intéressant, le montage est fou, la naissance d'un monstre !! bon courage et bravo
If this is gonna be like a couple weeks ago where you uploaded videos like these every day I’ll go back and like every single one of your vids
That’s my goal. Some of them might not be as entertaining as I am waiting on custom parts. But the daily format helps push my vendors along to move faster. So I love it too.
love you rob dahm
updates on the 4 rotor? that's an up vote
Rob you need to come down and do some stuff in Florida sometime
Finally a 4 rotor video

I bought my first rx7 because of u rob it's only a fb gslse but I love the rotary life
Woke up early today and couldn't figure out why...now I know why....new 4 rotor vid!
Daddy Dahm looking hella fresh today. Love you
Was worth the wait for now hurry up & give us more & I beg you give me a shout out fella

That's a beautiful laugh Rob
They are doing some awesome work on your car. With the seat that low, how's the view over the hood going to be?
Been waiting so much for this 😍😍😘

Thank papa dahm
Are you getting a custom gearset made for the front diff since youre running it backwards?
That hellephant shirt though
Check helmet space rob. Your heads close to the frame but what’s it like with a helmet on cause you don’t want to find out you need to move the seat after it’s all done.
Almost missed this in my feed. Almost forgot that you had a 4 rotor...
Are u goiin to spray the tube chassis a cool color? That would be dope
Hey yeah another one
Besides your steering rack, what is stopping you from putting the driver seat on the other side where there is more room?
Do u think u will be able to steer properly with how close you are to the door and do u think you will have enough head room if u have a race helmet
Rob, what sort of exhaust are you planning on using? Are you going to giving a single exhaust, or a dual exhaust since you removed the gas tank?
Love the shave 💪🏻😏
Will this leave you enough room for a helmet though?
When is Dhamkhana?
Cheers to the progress on Monstah Dorito Rob🧀🧀🧀🧀🍻
ye boi, this is great
Daddy Dahm
Did you also check seat position with a helmet?
Any plans on running drag week at any stage?
Rob you should try the seat with a helmet to see if you can fit with one because if you are going to race you need a helmet .

Damn it's Dahm
I cant wait for me it man.. feels like thousand years already
Is the engine going to be running a wet or dry sump set up?
Front diff only capable of 800hp?? Meanwhile my CRX probably makes 70hp.. that’s nuts! Can’t wait to hear this thing EAT!
what did you use for a front diff
Fresh save who dis

Tubeframe mounted seat.. no vibration for sure
Considering he has an insane suspension setup, will be running meaty tires, and has probably one of the smoothest possible motors it shouldn't be too bad.
The Honnagins need to get in on this build
@3:46 anyone else see the Southern Cross in freckles on robs arm??
This is awesome, how in this car only vin plate, and windows are stock.
Hope You will love Your creation
Would you fit with a helmet on
BADY FACE DAHMINATOR
Climbs into the flight simulator...you're aerodynamic, inside the car.
I kinda wanna see Rob grow out a handle bar mustache..
Am i the only one who thinks rob looks like bruce wayne, and should play batman in the next batman movie?
Are you going dry-sump Rob? Engine looks low in the chassis.

Ah, 4 rotor juice to keep me fresh.
wow saludos desde chile amigo, eres un genio, es un proyecto espectacular¡¡ c:
Make sure your head will still clear with a helmet on! :) Looks good though
I hope I fit in that passenger seat ;)
What are those head lamps someone please link me or tell me the name
You should do the seat test with a helmet on. At some point you are going to have a helmet on in that car.
How much boost did the three rotor run at
Too much apparently
Not enough
Have you thought of using a front diff off a gtr oil pan, those are pretty small and can take a lot of power with a gear change
Woot
I'm early daddy Rob LOL
