"unfilmable things" Honestly, even if you'd stick a cap on with one of those poles that rotate around and film in that all seeing bubble angle, and it would speen around and bang on things, i'd still watch it. This channel is just that entertaining. Heck, give the cat a camera and let it out in the shop.
WhiskerCam
@@MattyEngland I second this.
do people come to this channel for the car stuff yikes i am only here for the kitties 🥰😘
Rob has to do this now 😂🤘
They could mount a few cameras.
They could wear mikes.
Have footage from the cameras edited together to make a coherent video.
That way they could have the videos edited while the camera rolls.
ROB, IF you use a 5 point harness WITHOUT a roll cage you are at risk of injuring yourself in the event of a roll-over. The 5 point doesn't allow you to roll to the side when the roof caves in, you will most likely brake your neck. At the very least have a single hoop cage behind you to provide minimal roll over protection. One more thing, ALWAYS wear a Hans device with a 4 or 5 point harness. The harness and seat does such a good job holding you in even a small impact can snap your neck. Please be careful......
better to snap the neck right away than end up in flames from the exposed fuel system inside the cabin lol
I second this. If you think you need safety equipment then you need safety equipment. Being dead would make it hard to achieve your goals. Buy the best you can afford, you can always make more money.
Rob needs to read this.
the man's done 200mph runs with a 1000hp car with no reinforced bellhousing, no floors and no firewall. you're right, he needs to get the proper safeties done... on all his fast cars lmao
@@comethiburs2326 bro it’s kinda a running joke that Rob only truly cares about rotary engines. If he spent 20% of the money and the time he spent on the wiring harness and spent it on safety improvements I personally would love that video. Every time I see Rob’s feet from the outside of the 4 rotor I think of The Flintstones. I can’t imagine they had high safety expectations in a Stone Age quarry!
Rob Dahm, a lot of people look up to you. Please be a good role model mate. Safety regulations are written in blood, the world already has a James Dean. I’m certain there will be many safety sector businesses in your industry that would love an opportunity to partner with you. No more Flintstone feet bullshit please!
Honestly dying to see a rematch of the 4 rotor against the hoonicorn when the 4 rotor is done
dying to see the drag race between rob spaghetti and rob dahm that was supposed to happen 5 years ago
If I were Ken, I'd still be a little shell-shocked from all the shit that could have flown off and hit him last time lol
He no longer has the hoonicorn. That went back to ford when they parted ways
@@turbohayabusa01 wondered that 😢
@@turbohayabusa01 That's not true at all. They brought it back, just with Ken's daughter driving it.
Love the track content! "Straight lines are for fast cars, corners are for fast drivers" 😎🤙
Some Karen is yelling asshole in the background...lol
Rob, Your sub frame is bent from too much torque! You need to straighten the sub frame and add in some reinforcement to keep the car from flexing. Had Same problem with my FD
video?
Commenting so he sees 🤙 wanna trade for an rx8? You know you wanna
Crazy a miata can have a LS in it with twice the torque and not have that problem 🗿🗿
@@griffinmackenzie ls miatas generally have custom sub frames
@@Bird-nx5ef nah almost all v8 Miatas are modded stock subframes with upgraded differentials but idk about "twice the torque"
Anyone else catch someone in the background at the end saying "asshole" Had me dying. Stoked to see another car runnin an you getting to enjoy it man.
Came here to see if I'd heard her right lol
I was looking to see if anyone else herd that...EFFING KARRENS!!!
I heard it too. I think it's because he was dumping fuel.
Bye boring two hour long presentation video, hello 36 minutes of rotary bliss with Rob Dahm :) Studying can wait!
hahah, same position as you!!
Those coatings look great. Btw brake cooling ducts on the front will be a cheap but very effective way of improving on the brakes, and i have a hunch that with the stock rotor size and calipers, though capable, with the power this thing is making it will get the brakes crispy after a few hard laps.
Hey Rob just letting you know I've fully switched to Valvoline gear oils on my Miata thanks to you (and the IG ads) and I seriously cannot tell a difference in it compared to the redline I used to run, and the plastic fill bags seriously made everything easier, plus my wallet is a bit happier
@Zio Peraza yes, valvoline is cheaper but doesn’t feel worse than redline
32:07 is why I watch rob's videos
“I don’t do anything that falls when it stops”
If he’s going to be using the 3 rotor on the track it really needs to have an aero package. Especially if he’s running a tune with more than 5 or 600 hp
I recall a gorgeous front splitter and a 1/2 mile run it lives in infamy with. lol
Kyle Engineers collab perhaps?
That coating looks gorgeous! Fascinating as always
I would like to see the three rotor in a Lotus. That would be a beast
that would be pretty insane considering how damn light the car is.. or even 13b Ariel Atom.
Elise ?
that would be nice, a proper track car as a base
That would be a scary idea.
The lotus evora with a tighter pulley is an absolute monster as it is. One of the few
Bro I love the new angle with the camera off the back of the car. It's like a game!
Loving how bad ass you’re making these cars and going all out on the parts too. Top notch
Amazing episode! Love to see so many different things being done to the car.
Also, I assume that whoever was in the background at the end shouting "Asshole" was talking to Rob.
She's gotta be the girlfriend of one of the guys behind Rob lol
I have the Ohlins road and track on my 2013 Camaro ss 1le. They’re awesome. I highly recommend them.
PAD (paper aided design) & CAD (cardboard aided design) has been around for more than 200 years compared to the computer version 20 years
öhlins are closest to the best shocks you can get. Use them on my track car, and they preform amazing.
Hell yeah, get all your cars track capable! (Including the c8 👀)
I was just looking for something to watch and then i got a notication for your video. Thx for uploading
I love how y’all show all the small detail of everything showing how to do everything it’s very educational I’ve used stuff I’ve learned from y’all and other channels while building my civic
If you don't want to go for a full slick and you're gonna be heavy track focused now, check out nankang tires. The AR-1 is a 100tw tire that has worked well for me and others on track and i think they're less than $300 for a 275
Interested to see how long that ceramic coating will last with a rotary on a road coarse track. also please get a minimum a 4 point roll bar and Head Neck Restraint. a lot of things can happen on track.
Nice, the cars keep getting better, and your quality of work gets better. I want to see a full road race of the 3 rotor.
It's amazing how you are switching betwin 3 4 cars in the episods and all the videos still make sense. Keep following, keep liking and commenting you need those money for the projects that we all love!
Closing in on 1M!
I love these cars so much, can’t wait to see them going around and down a track!
Rob I really am enjoying your channel even more. The 3 rotor is now not just a straight line car but instead becoming a well sorted out weapon. I have ohlins on my Fd and trust me you will not be disappointed. The 3 rotor is has more torque than the 2 rotor, which should help you with acceleration coming out the turns. Keep an eye on engine temps because the three rotor will normally get hotter than the two rotor. A good cooling system will be needed.
Whos yelling "asshole" at the end of the video 🤣
If you want more air into the intercooler/rad, Try a Long front Splitter. The air creates a high pressure area at the back of the spliiter and has no where to go but into the inter cooler.
The SRF fluid is crazy good though, worth the price it you're too lazy to regularly flush your brake fluid. The wet boiling point is higher than a lot of other fluid's dry boiling point. It's difficult to boil that fluid, even if it's many years old.
The fact that you guys use some tape and sheet aluminum to divert more air to the engine bay and intercooler but will custom-fab mounts...piping...whatever for the car and get Ohlins... it just embodies the channel so well. Never change Rob.
Top notch. Favorite content. Always excited to see a new video!!
theres something to be said about a man in the industry for 30+ years and still proud of his product
I'm stoked watching you guys track this thing 🔥🔥🔥
Same!!
Great content, gorgeous shocks 🤤, gorgeous tires, and the sound of that 3Rotor at the track... 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Im running Ohlins Road and Track on my Evo 8 and I love them. Definitely will send them to Doug when I need them serviced.
Looks like a great work place, lots of positive vibs
Imagine clocking a lap in the four rotor at the Nürburgring. Maybe get it sponsored by Valvoline
with the amount of time and money this man has spent, this would really give credit to his dedication. Would love to see it!
You should ask Jay Leno what he used in his steam generator. That volume gets hot enough to melt certain metals.
I have ohlins road and tracks on my sti and I love them. They are older but they are by far my favorite coilovers
I had them in my old Liberty/Legacy and it spoiled me for suspension. Any coilovers I’ve driven since seem crappy now, although most I’ve driven since them have not bee. In the same price range.
Love the comments below, you guys are really killing it and I can't believe this channel doesn't have more subs. Long time watching and super fan. Come to Austin TX some day. Our shop Madness autoworks would love to host you at a Madness after hours event. Keep up the great content guys, I will watch till last apex seal blows.
That chokabsorber looks so nice.love that colour
We not gonna talk about how he forgot the word to in between takes and turn in the title 😂 it’s ok you busy af rob we get it loved this video keepem coming
currently in class watching this, anything for my dose of dahm
Very nice Rob!
I love the fact that this god of ohlins suspension literally made a thats what she said joke.
I love people like him who dont have to be all serious prove your worth kind of thing because he’s already proved himself.
I could hear a fan watching your race cheering you on. Nice. What a way to end a video. Lol.
All this shit is good! Love these videos, so keep em coming Mr Roberto McRotor Dahmovich!!
Hey rob brushless motors can work underwater without insulation, like on rc boats ect.
Omg Rob please please please bring one or more of your cars to Gridlife Midwest! You know you wanna come home to Michigan 😄 plus our weather is better than Cali this time of year ✌
Also super jelly of your suspension setup. I work for a performance suspension manufacturer but I'd take that set of Ohlins over our stuff any day of the week for track use
Rob really boutta hit 1 mill‼️
TheOhlinsGuy channel is so full of awesome information, definitely a cool dude.
Fantastic video
The grammar error Brought me here this time. Great content as per usual Rob.
Got damn!!! It has come a LONG WAY!!
Thanks for that view from 3rd person) :3 amazing idea
I just picture Rob watching Isaiah welding making noises and mumbling dirty thoughts like Mr. Herbert on Family Guy 🤣👍
2:11 way to save the sponsorship by valvoline Rob. keep up the good work!
I need moreeeeeeeeeeee love the vids rob keep it up!!!!!
@36:12 some lady saying "asshole... ASSHOLE!"
Your comment. This is what the hoonicorn had to put on to keep up with us.
Was this the event he recently had with the 4 rotor?
Those only hesitation I have about the ceramic coatings is that if the part ever fails or cracks and you have to re weld something its an absolute nightmare and I can only imagine how much worse it would be with the stuff on the inside..but it looks amazing..
You also have to think about the fact that the piece wont be getting as hot of a heat cycle to damage the welds in the first place.
I probably wouldn’t ceramic coat something until after testing and tuning because thats when those parts are most likely to fail, so build them to survive then add coating as redundancy.
I have ohlins on my sti since 1 year and i love it
Yesssss!!!
Was at the track the day Rob was there. Was wondering when wed see some footage of that
Wonder who called him an asshole? That's the mystery right now lol
Let’s gooo, track > drag
You have a platform enough to ask a dealer, business of product to come with there, represenetives like powernation does, and demonstrate there product by installing it. You have a million people who will watch.
“Even if It’s one psi difference that’s a lot of I” I live rob😭😂😂
I think a chassis mounted wing on the 3 rotor car would help a lot in the long run.
Would have been very interesting 🤔 Rob, if u had done a before, and after Temperature readings before the Ceramic/ Copper Coat, and AFTER with the Coated Housings, AND Blankets, I used Jet Hot on my 13B. RX7 Racing Beat header, but this looks Superior to theirs... 😎 🆒️ 😎
Also, Isaiah, I would LOVE the Biz Name of this place that rebuilds Steering Racks, especially IF they rebuild Volvo XC70 ones... THEY'RE $$$$ from Volvo!!
awesome bro 👏
#1 fan from the 🇵🇭
He gave you a "Thats what she said" haha had me dying.
Proxes rr are what a bunch of people use for competitive racing or wheel to wheel. My friends spec miata has the proxes rr as there spec class tire. They are great and supposedly they only get stickier and stickier as they wear untill they chord
Bro does track racing once, and now he's gonna make the three-rotor and four-rotor track weapons.
Why I hear "@ssH0lle @ssH0lle @ssH0lle!" in the background at 36:10
She was telling rob where to put it.
@@michaelh.1262 bwahaha
Mr. Brenners business just went through the rooof for sure
brushless motors can be ran underwater, won't go into details but just look it up if you're curious
Rob needs to rematch Rob (Ferretti), definitely the alpha Rob now.
Adding RTV silicone to the exhaust manifold inlet and outlet is a waste of time. It will burn off and can't withstand the heat of the exhaust. Also, it creates an uneven sealing surface which creates exhaust leaks. If it actually worked, manufacturers and motorsports (like F1) would use it. I've torn down many turbos and engines in my day and it has never helped anything.
yeah, RTV wouldn't work. but the permatex super copper they're using would, beacuse that's what it is for. i've used it on some bikes, and my car. broke off 1 stud on the flange but still didn't leak.
Makes my swedish heart beat a bit faster knowing this small company is such a benchmark these days. ❤️
Rob looks surprisingly fast on the track.
But rob where is the 6 rotor? Actually, at this point I'll take a 200hp 1 rotor.
Let’s have him finish the 4 rotor to at least 95% before he starts another 😭 I want the 6 rotor really bad too
3 rotor goes Brrrrr!
not going to lie, the seat swap is so satisfying to see, now it just need's a nice steering wheel haha
"I don't do anything that falls over when it stops."
Hahahahahahahaha!
i love the minimalist roll cage i cant even see it
Dude.. are you really kickin' 1000hp/ton?!
The acceleration hit should be a hit in the back, holy crap!
You should try to fit the 3 rotor seat on your 4 rotor or try to find similar seat that fits on your four rotor because it fits your body way better then the seats on the 4 rotor.
Good shit. Commenting for the algorithm
Ewastegates are one of the best new tech for turbo cars and also fueltech has some great standalone computers that can control them.
Does anybody know where these coatings were done?
Yep 👍
How does the ceramic coating work on the bellows of the downpipe? Is the coating flexible or is it just going to crack and flake off eventually?
If you guys want to do a race between yourselves . Try setting up an FC an FD and the RX8 all with the same drivetrain components . And then see how well they stack up against each other based on weight and chassis .
what shop was it that did the coatings?
I love this Doug guy... CZcams has *finally* delivered us a man worthy enough to be Rob Dahm's dad
Don't let the real Rob's Dad see this cause he is SWOLE, my guy 😂
