- I have one of the most amazing custom RX-7s in the world. I want to share my experience of owning and driving such a unique car.
I explain where the engine came from, why its so special, and what it does to a Mazda RX-7 - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Oooo look that turbo has an engine
lmao!!
keeek
with the optional RX-7 attachment!
Kevin Alexander lmao
mike hunt lol you're obviously a loser
Just roaming around waiting for the 4 rotor to be finished 😂
Same here bro.
Same
Ethan G same
Same...
Same
80mm of turbo on a 2.0L engine..... holy balls
+roturd Its a 75mm turbo. Its surprisingly cheap. $850 on jegs.
wow... still impressive!
+Anthony Isn't the s480 96mm?
+Braden Carlson Ross is Sexy.
Where do you get that sweet bug screen clamped on the inlet??? Do you get it from Jegs or does he have a matching hole in his screen door..
the mini van smoked him @ 1:13
HAHAHAHAH I SAW THAT TOO
had to wait for boost :D
holy fuck thats my dad HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
this made my fucking day hahaha. thank you for this
Blake D everythings have more torque that rotary
Its pretty rare in a youtube video that you can actually see the power and get a sence of the performance being put out.(a remote sence). This is one of those rare videos and cars.
+Rob Dahm Well you seem to like sharing about everything else, honestly, how much did it cost?
+Rob Dahm No surprise at all man, absolute EARGASM. I alone must be 1/3 of those views
my guess is 70k
bill smith yes. all 300 horse
Did you watch the dyno video? It's making around 800.
It should be a rule in youtube that if you put a car video on here that shows a car driving fast....you should HAVE to cut the DAMN MUSIC OFF!!!!!
or make it optional , like on/off button hahahaha
True I wanted to hear that rurbo
@@hemullett255 didn't we all
Unless you doing a cinematic or something cool
If you look at the deleted scenes youll see and hear that the wind noise practically drowned out the sound of the car
Angry 20b rotor sounds sweet!
Aww man, this video popped up today after the 4-rotor vs Hoonicorn video. It’s crazy to see how far you’ve come Rob. Congratulations for all of it. I can’t wait to see this car get some more love once the 4-rotor is all sorted.
that mini van was pulling on you bro
***** Lol, good video by the way.
is it just me, or does this dude remind you of stiffler?
+robert retka gaaaaay!
+robert retka i didn't say anyone is gay. i only said i would blow the dude for the car. hell I'll blow anyone for food right now. doesn't make me gay. just would cause i haven't had food in days and I'm hungry.
+robert retka let me rephrase that. You're gaaaay! Ya just dont know it lol. Your in the wrong channel mang.
+robert retka you sure are being defensive to a stranger on a comment. are you really that homophobic that you must defend to someone you'll never know , or are you so worried to be outed? the more you argue for days , the more i feel that, i hope you get comfortably in being a gay male. it's okay bro. they's nothing wrong with it. it's really accepted in current times.
stiff meister
6:45 you can see the fear in his eyes
1:16 FIREBALL
How is your CZcams channel going
this car is so powerful to the point that when the non-working tach felt it, it swore to never stop working again 6:45
Anyone else want to see reactions to people riding in this?
What a little beast
I know that think hauls ass like a freight train haha!
OnyxStudios720p freight trains are really slow : l
dacasman I was relating the unstoppable power of a freight train to this cars unbelievable amount of torque.
Oh alright that makes sense xD
I love the face he makes when it goes into boost
I could go on for days how out of every uploaded video on CZcams pertaining to building a car, this would rank in the top 3. This is a brilliantly organized, ridiculously informative, completely engaging, and perfectly executed. Take notes, because this how you make a video.
the car is all like: YOU FOOLS! THIS ISNT EVEN MY FINAL FORM!
btw rob, do you need a wheel alignment?
LMAOO
hvf26 just like dbz it takes forever to build up power XD
About 29 episodes and 1 transformation along with some possible filler, then you get the end result.
@@rckli Superchargers offer linear power
This comment makes way more sense now!!!
I love this guy. Finding people for true pride in the cars they drive is tough these days. Anyone who personifies a 3 rotor rx7 as something that hates doing anything unless it's for the sole purpose of scaring the shit out of you is an alright guy in my book. Subscribed.
Totally cool that you share your passions on youtube, cause a lot of rich car guys just post videos of street races and are so secretive about their cars. Also a big fan of the genuine enthusiasm, its like a friend running up and saying, you gotta check this out!
front clips are a product of Japanese emission controls, not broken engines:-) I think you should let me have this car though. I like
Rob Dahm this is the most insane car I've ever seen. Just wait until you get the 4 rotor build done. You think that 3 rotor scares you, hahah. You just wait buddy. Love the car though. Good build.
Hey Rob, I have watched this video about 100 times, and still can't get over how nice your car is. A Mazda RX-7 is, and have always been my dream car. Keep up the great work!
Coming back to this video years later to remember where my rotary obsession started. In 2 days I’ll be getting my first rotary car. It’s gonna be an rx8 and it’s a hefty project but I’m so stoked. Thanks Rob for keeping my dream alive.
This guy needs to be a top gear host
+Griffin Mackenzie I agree with you!
+Griffin Mackenzie no they had 3. clarkson may and hammond. now they are gone top gear is dead
+Griffin Mackenzie He's not brit, it won't do.
+MAGICOmagique Joey from Friends is on there, pretty sure he's not a brit.
+Mortal 5 are you talking about Top Gear USA? Because it's not Top Gear.
Very nice work! Thanks for keeping it low-key and tasteful. You have a real classic.
If I owned a 3 rotor, I would be the biggest douche bag ever.
Same. I like to be a very nice driver, but if I had this car I would care about two things. Speed, and family
@@billjamal4764 lol was family a fast and furious reference ? xD
@@ifeelit4448 yes of course
anybody else here from 2019?
watching back these old days till the 4 rotors is 100% completed and on the car
Yea, like the top comment who posted this a month before you did. Good job clout chaser
@@McJerkins okeh
Have followed you for so long now, and never get tired of watching this video, the 3 rotor is my dream car
After so many years this video is still epic.
His face when the turbocharger kicks in is fucking priceless oh my god I am laughing so hard.
I'd love to see the guys on Top Gear UK drive this beast, especially Jeremy
Anthony Lopez hu?
Anthony Lopez uhhh.. Jeremy Did get into This car.Back in 1993
takis659 I think he means this car in particular
POWERRR!
I ran across your Channel on accident your videos make me laugh like nothing else 😂 keep up the videos
I love how the tach started working when the boost kicked in this is my favorite rx7!
2019 and this video will never get old
big power, no comfort, stock black body....that's my kinda car. no F&F crap. no consideration given to driver comfort. just a mean engine, mated to a RWD driveline, that is all you need to have a smile on your face while driving.
Amen Brother... :)
Well this is your car then because no one thought about the comfort of the driver. Should make a nice cross country run, right?
This just randomly came up in my recommended lol. We’re all proud of you, Rob
Holy. Shit.
This was the first video I watched of yours (I think). I can't believe it's been close to 9 years since I discovered you and your passion and lack of outros.
Here's to the next 10 years, many more millions of subs, and maybe 3 more proper outros, brother
I love hiw Rob basically didn't age in the last 8 years
Right?
It looks so much better now in 2019
Jesus christ, Rob....here I've been watching your videos for years now and am totally fascinated by your journey to the 4 rotor engine going into a totally custom built chassis, and it was THIS FUCKING VIDEO that got me hooked on your channel. Keep running the fun stuff, and keep making videos that YOU WANT AND YOU ENJOY! That is what lures folks in to your channel. PLEASE keep doing what you're doing.
5 years later and this is still one of my favorite videos on CZcams.
You know a car is scary when even the owner is scared to drive it lol
The shit honestly sounds terrifying..
At 7:30 the look on his face... Priceless!
+MudRFunR hahaha
MudRFunR gh
even if you look without sound you can see how powerful is this car
Who still watches this atleast once a month? I can’t believe it is still top video after all these years
man your RX-7 made me subscribe to your channel.love her.
WTF @1:13 mom driving a van just passed you lmfao, Not hating I know RX7's, is just looks funny.
SOCCER MOM MOBILES WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL
Your tachometer seems to be working fine
thank you rob dom, you know your stuff, and I learn easily just watching your videos, your video is great and you have my subscription, too bad I like creating. thank you for this video.
When it kicks in it just gets a mind of its own. Damn, love it.
SO, about the Rotary engine.....
The relevance of an automotive product is directly linked to its demand in the market. In an automotive market where the majority of the population are looking to travel from point A to B, people will refuse to withstand a lack of simple durability. Logistics.
Yes it was a failure. Was it because of poor design? NO. A refined rotary has already been developed by a mechanical company in california, as well as Mazdas own rx7 work recently. This engine also destroyed boundaries previously unexplored by the traditional piston engine.
Can this engine last a long time? YES. If properly cared for and maintenanced one can receive a premium from this engine in terms of durability. When was the last time you maintenanced your car? If your answer isn't, "Oh, i work on it every week" then I politely state that you are incapable of understanding the situation - and probably never will.
So now you might cite examples of rx7's that were maintenanced and still fell apart. I would be willing to bet they were modified by someone who was NOT experienced with a rotary (Can easily lead to poor repairs, poor choice of and installment of replacement apex seals, etc...). Also may have had a very.... enthusiastic..... induction system like the one in this video.
IN THE END. Is it cool? YES. Is it reliable? YES. Is it durable?..... Are you a dedicated gear head who is confident in their knowledge of a rotary engine?
AND BEFORE ANYONE SAYS I AM JUST AN "RX FAN"
-I drive a JEEP with a 35 year old AMC *PISTON* engine that i work on all the time
-I am a diehard JEEP fan
-I am just here to state the facts
-FINALLY, i am annoyed that people who cant even tell you how a rotary works will condemn it over what they have heard or read.
Hayes Goodyear amen brother! Jeep family here my man!
I can't read.
Maybe a power demo in some place other than a suburb? Thanks for the video. We've driven RX-7's for years.
I don't get why this keeps appearing in my recommended videos, but whenever it does I watch it. Love this car
awesome upload! Ive always LOVED these cars....unforgiving they can be though but these will always have a cult following
1:15 XD Like if you like the mini van passing his car
***** I bet it had a K & N sticker on the back too...that would have gave it 400 more Horse Power
it had VTec too, i'm sure of it
He reminds me of stiffler
me too lmao
meldon100 ha me 3
Yes lol
I head the song from this video on an Instagram reel and it made me feel nostalgic because the first time I heard the song was from this video. Im sure glad I found this video again and it’s really been almost a decade since this video came out. Time flies by
Loved the video bro.. Working towards a Rotary.. This sold me on it 100%.. haha Nice sandals..
haha that face at 7:00 lol. We know the car just made him its bitch.
The wheel spin though, would have pooped myself. 6:44
that's quite literally the most beautiful car I've ever seen.
this video never gets old
i remember watching this video when it came out damn
When the 3 rotor was pretty clean and good looking
Fun trick for rotaries: drill a hole for a spark plug in the pipe between the engine and the exhaust side of the turbo. Now wire all the spark plugs in the engine to the exhaust plug with a relay
Congratulations on 5M
Is it me or whoever installed that steering wheel didn't pay attention to making sure it was aligned correctly?! OCD!!
That is my pet peeve. I fixed it on every car I've ever owned, a little more than hundred cars over the years. You don't even have to do an alignment, just move the tie rods equal turns or on easy cars pull the steering wheel.
Those damn rotary engines sound like a 2-stroke, ya know like a dirtbike, and it sounds like they've got that high rpm powerband thing goin on too.
ROB DATS SUPER SICK.I WAS RAISE AROUND 13B AND 12A ROTARYS PERIFEROS GOING 7.386 ON A 1/4 MILE DOWN IN FLORIDA AND PUERTO RICO A LOT OF WHILLIES AND A LOT OF FUN.GREAT CONTENTS.STAY CRAZY🤘🏁💯👗👙
You can just feel the power...CRAZY! This thing is nuts!!!!!!
When rob used to sleep in a house, Different.
"Angry because it's turbocharged" Rotary's love, and run very well turbocharged.
Skeptic Fence Show Apex seals fail even faster with a turbo...yay!
The real doktorbimmer Not with RA Super Seals.. Do the research. I've been using them in my 1st gen for 5 years with over 40k @16 lbs of boost and car runs flawless. I beat the piss out of the car. lol
Skeptic Fence Show Good advertisement! Sorry, I'm not buying it.
Tough to stay in business when no manufacturers sell a Wankel engined car anymore..
***** What are you some kind of angry troll...?
***** Maybe because unlike you, I understand the difference between a Wankel and a Rotary engine...
wow dude!
I think Im in love with rotary engine now! I love angry machines!!
I had a fully built FD with a KAAZ lsd like yours and I agree, it does NOT fuck around, it was a BEAST and made my car hook and turn like you wouldn't believe... I need to buy another one of these cars lol
I saw the title and was like.. Oh yes, please show me
Damn... The RX-7 is one of my dream cars. But I'll probably never own one.
The others are 1974 Camaro, Dodge Viper and Impreza WRX STi.
Keep your dreams there you can make it!:)
Thanks, I'm currently working my butt off to pay off my current car loan (2010 Civic - I needed a car and fast since my old one was totaled). My next car will hopefully be the 2014 (or newer) Camaro SS 1LE
damn nice post some pics when you get it!:)
RyMann88 but not a toyota supra?
RyMann88 but not a toyota supra?
Saw you from a video backfiring.. This is a dreamcar.
This was the first video I ever saw from Daddy Dahm. Such an awesome journey!
One does simply not watch 1:17 once.. Your welcome btw haha
lol i was just cruising though and admiring the music then a orange flash caught my eye, 1 billion repeats later and i needed to change my underware
Deejay JeanP You're*
Major *N0b0dy g!v3s a fuck 0n y0utUb3
Deejay JeanP LIK DIS IF YOU CRY EVERTIM
Major Wtf dude?
The faces he makes when going into boost lmmaaoooooo
seen this video like 10 times Love it
Amazing vid Brother
And what about alignament??... 01:28
There are 3 sides to a rotor, there are 3 rotors in a 20B rotary engine... THE ROTARY ENGINE IS ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED!!!
Thank you for the video! (: i really liked it!!
Rob your videos are hilarious would love to have you work on my 1980 280 zx turbo and your from Michigan that's a plus in itself I'm from the 313 myself keep making your videos brother
HOLY SHIT i just creamed my jeans. Fuckin sick ride man
^
"I own another Rx-7 and the cars are nothin alike"
Future Rob want a word with you
great video .. love it
Bro I swear that’s the best description ever 😂 about the car being angry .... I feel u my car is the exact same thing
Once you hit 5k's vtec kicks in yo
EpicUnicorn101 lol
what's you mpg? 10?
+David Ha Depends on how he drives it lol. If he drives it like he does in the video every day, most likely 10 or below!
+Rob Dahm 5mpg. good. suck on it greenies
+Dazzmond Western Greenies being his wallet?
Dazzmond Western No shit? By greenies im assuming you were referring to people who are "tree huggers", which is made a joke about greenies being his wallet..
+Smackindaface sorry I don't know what you said can you repeat? "which is made a joke" doesn't make sense. I get the first but bit not the last bit. clarify please.
Tach splits up to 7k rpms at 6:46 and works normal from then on. KILLER CAR AND VIDEO MAN, WELL DONE :D
Love the sound!!
you are a very good spokesman, you could sell me that rx7 with that sweet speech you gave lol nice car man! that thing is a beast, loves being up high in the RPM's. Whats the redline on that thing? 12,000?
There is no redline, it revs to heaven lol
lol !
beyond305 It's a rotary, man! There is no rev limit. ;)
Next step, 26B?
That is wicked! Sort of reminds me how the power comes on when on my KX 500 ... except you have 600 more hp, lol. I'd LOVE to drive something like this at least once in my life, looks like a blast (and a hand-full) to drive. You have to give a thumbs-up to an engine that makes a power stroke every revolution ... I always liked and found the Wankel engine really cool .... too bad they don't last long enough, burn oil and aren't efficient, but still an amazing engine .... especially your's!
Exceptional sound.
he sure is a big fan on himself
And he is also funny
funny something....lol
No air filter... because race car.
Bug screen clamped over the turbo inlet.... real classy! Lol, I wonder if there is a matching hole in his screen door?
LOOL
I just got into rotary engines recently, I didn't even know about them but they are seriously powerful and sound really cool too.
OH my! nice car my man!
