  • This is Rob Dahm´s (yes, the fellow automotive CZcamsr) Mazda RX-7 FD3S monster, built in Record Time, to tackle the ultimate HillClimb Challenge, Pikes Peak International HillClimb. As many of those who follow Rob´s channel will know, this Monster was just finished right on time pass Safety Inspection during Monday prior to the event and would go on to have very limited track action during the week, until being unleashed on the Full Event. Amazingly, it would go on to be able to finish it with a respectable 11:04 chrono, while trying to preserve its internal, with some clever reserved driving making sure overheating would not get the better of the newly built package. Still this is a 3 Rotor 20B Semi peripherally ported powered machine fitted with a G45 Garrett Turbo good for over 1200Hp at Sea Level. Engine was also moved back 8 inches making this now a truly Mid-Eengined race car. Fitted with a Tick/PPG t56 magnum sequential with MME air shifter, a Ford 8.8 rear diff, 285 18s Wheels all around with Bridgestone RE71RS rubber, 50/50 perfect weight distribution and a 1270Kg Total Weight. An Haltech R5 ECU is the electronical brain behind all this, Öhlins ILX suspension to connect chassis and wheels with Custom rear suspension drop knuckles, and aerodinamically we can see an APR GT2000 rear wing and Full flat bottom.

    So epic as i dont get to enjoy the flybys. Im just hanging on for dear life wondering why i got myself into this hahaha. jk it was one of the most fun enjoyable driving experiences ever. I was lift and coasting to prevent overheating so on the straights i was pointing at spectators and waving. gave me time to really enjoy WHY we do things like this

      Always liked the sound of these cars - back in the late 1980s my brother's best friend had one. My brother hit it with my dad's 87 Accord LXi one night in the rain. Bumper of the RX7 pushed the nose of the Accord in.

    It's wild to me how he was only about 30 seconds off of Mad Mike's rotary record up the hill.
    Brand new build done in a few months with almost zero testing, the incorrect tires and it was his first ever run up Pikes Peak.
    Mad Mike on the other hand had one extra rotor and turbo on his car, and it was all built by a professional team and sponsored by Red Bull and Mazda.

      ​@streetfighter4006 pikes peak is a veeery long hillclimb, so 30 seconds really isn't crazy. I'd say its comparable to 4s~6s gap on a normal lap time. A big difference, but still impressive when we're talking about the gap to a record.

      Agreed the stream has been terrible for pikes peak. It's unbelievable how a company with deep pockets like Mobil1 couldn't put on a better effort than that. Then to see they were running ad's through the chat during Pikes Peak this year was pretty low class. I honestly bet Cleetus's live streaming company could do better with it than Mobil1 does.

    Congratulations!!!! . Great to see you got to Pikes Peak. Also to see you absolutely gunning it. That 3rotor is heaven to my ears. Sounds pitch perfect. Love it. You should contact James Dean and have a race against his 3rotor. Only messing. Lol lol.Big respect 🙏 👏 to Rob and his fantastic crew of fabricators and skilled welders .
