Pushing the AWD 4 Rotor RX-7 HARD during Shakedown. It was heard from MILES away! 

The kid who could hear your car from 2 miles away was pure gold 🤣🤣

Fucking amazing how this car went from "where's the 4 rotor Rob?" To now racing at a track. So glad I've been here since the beginning of the build.

Lemme tell you Rob, I'm a 38yr old kid at heart, I've been following your channel for years now. When you started opening up on the straights, I found myself grinning from ear to ear while wiping away genuine tears of sheer happiness. Not only as a car guy, but just following your entire journey with this magnificent piece of engineering - and knowing everything you've poured into it. My god, dude. If some random guy from Cape Town can feel this way about your build, I can only *imagine* the scale of your emotion. What a build, guy. Well done, over and over again. Hands down my favourite channel. Can't wait to see you on track at 100% throttle!!

23:16 everyone saw the water bottle bouncing on the driveshaft right?. This car is nuts and I’m glad to see Rob getting a feel for it!

It's actually impressive to see it actually hold together and start to fulfill its full potential.

The 2 mile away exhaust sound video is insane and I love everything about it.

I was disc golfing just down the road friday night that weekend. Could clear as day hear every single time you shifted. Was awesome to meet you Saturday!!

I love how the exhaust is burning the paint off the door. Please don't touch it up, has that battle worn aesthetic

Imagine being 2 MILES away from a track and all you can hear is an unholy scream, hauntingly awesome

The 4 rotor is half as insane in video as it is in person. The noises are incredible. Rob is twice as genuine in person as he is in videos, patience and listening and answering all day

My husband and I have been watching you for at least four years. This moment was so worth the wait. I'm also happy that you openly share your frustrations and the realities of taking on a project like this along with the victories whether they are big or small. We are so happy to be on this journey with you, Rob. The car sounds so sexy and looks so good! Thank you!

Bro on the last lap there was a water bottle in the engine flopping around 😂😂😂

So close to a MILLION subs brother! Let's GO! That 4 rotor is music to my ears

Even though that anti-lag was not intentional, it was SICK. Can't wait until it's fully dialed in man, do you have an ECU with switchable maps? Like one for drag and one for the track?

Rob Dahm will go down in history for having one of the most insane hand built cars in the world. If you ever saw that car at first and didn't know you'd think it was built by a bunch of engineers. Nah just a couple of dudes in a garage. I am genuinely happy for him to see how far he has came in life and on this platform getting the recognition he deserves. Keep it up

That camera angle on the suspension is probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen lol

I feel like rob and the team should literally just live on a track so they can rapidly prototype/tune the vehicle. seeing it get so close is amazing.

Absolutely love it man, can’t wait until i can experience your car in person one of these days! Here’s to 1 mil subs 🍻 congrats!

Was super cool seeing you out there Rob. Taking the time to talk to all the fans answering their questions even giving advice on their own rotary projects putting them in the right direction. Car sounded amazing in person.

glad to see al the support and honor your getting. This build is amazing and your tenacity is unrivaled. Keep the enthusiasm my man!!

Well done guys on 1m subs, great to see regular rotary content :).

I like that someone 2 miles away hears this and says WTF? This engine has a unique sound.

Absolutely unreal, when that engine opens up I get chills. What an amazing machine you’ve built Rob. Congrats on how far it’s come and I can’t wait to see what the future holds as you get this dialed in further.

Rob I'm digging this build so much, your r&d throughout the build and explanations on how you figured out the solutions to all these problems that arise is my favorite part.

The burning door reminds me of how the space shuttle looks when it comes back from a mission. I love it. And the car sounds so good.

I'm going to be honest, I REALLY like seeing ALL of the process Rob. This is my favorite build of all time ever and every detail is like candy for me.

So freaking happy for sticking around on this awesome project. Impressive and overall amazing work from everyone!

To see this thing going around a track shows how far it has come! It is so good to see you shaking it down and I cannot wait to see it progress even more

Oh my god Rob actually had some sort of outro for once!! So glad to hear this thing scream. Can't wait for more from this incredible machine. Thank you Rob!

Man as a man going through my own build struggles with my car this makes me emotional to see the results this car is reaping

i absolutely love your videos and the way we are able to hear the 4rotor. no music, no bs, just sound of the machine... and i hate the abrupt endings but it makes me laugh every time. thanks for making these videos and i enjoy how you explain everything. keep up your work man, hope to see the car someday. greetings from germany

Love your detailed explanations, its amazing to see it roaring like it was designed to

I feel that this video is a huge middle finger 🤘 to the people who said that this car isn't possible. Here it is. 1 million people believe in it. Huge congrats, from the early begginings, to SEMA and now the track. Can't wait to see this beast unleashed at 100%

That's amazing Rob 👏 So exciting to see that actually get out there and rip it up! Did anyone else see that water bottle getting eaten up around 23:15

Your motivation and dedication are key to why this project hasn't failed. Alot of ups and downs through this. ALOT. So happy to see you actually enjoy this car, I saw alot of success in this video!

*Wow I remember seeing this couple years ago when you first started it...so cool to see how far it has came! Keep up the good work/content!*

23:15 LOL the water bottle. Amazing.

26:05 you showing us all the small details is what makes your channel so great. Not only is it entertaining, but it is a huge learning experience, and it's always a great story to see all the things you struggle with or succeed with, and seeing it pay off. It's super rewarding to see the car getting better and better with every iteration and upgrade you do.

The world needs more people who build cars, trucks, etc. Such a simple drive of curiosity can hurl you into doing something incredible.

It's amazing how cool the engine stays with it being driven like that

I gotta say man I haven’t found anyone on RU-vid that’s willing to put this much effort into making a literal beast of a car(if it’s can classify as a car still) it’s engineering and foresight like this that keeps me interested. Definitely deserve all the love and support you get!

The amount of time and effort that has went into this car, it's awesome to see it finally ripping around a track 👌 can't wait to see it fully dialed in!

Awesome video! Sooo nice to see the four rotor after all the effort and time, finally begin to get set-up for hard driving. I can't wait to see what she can do. You have a great team and your attitude and humor are always enjoyed.

Hey Rob, Is it just me or was there a water bottle flying around your rear diff at 23:10 . Hahaha Love the build. Been following it since day one. Great Job.

Just to see this car in the track, only with the two who helped it become a dream answered is amazing. There are people who have less complicated and cutting edge cars who have entire teams out there wrenching. We go to rob and Isaiah and that’s all you guys will ever need aside from valvoline and other sponsors. Let’s this beast loose on the world you guys!!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

You know Rob, I’ve been following this build for a long time and I’ve gotta say that I think the coolest part about this build and there are many cool parts, but by far the best part about it is seeing how much you absolutely love this car. This isn’t just a car build, this is something you love. It’s a huge credit to your hard work mate. Now it’s “done” haha I can’t wait to see how far you take this incredible work of art and engineering! Keep up the good work mate!

I'm following your build 2-3 years now haha and i can say that you've nailed it. 0:49 It comes like an F1.

It was so insane to hear this thing in person, came sprinting track side when i heard you out there lol

I've been watching you for 7+ years and it's amazing to see the progress you've made. Congrats on 1M subs! Hope I get the chance to drive with you some day 🤘🏽

Rob you are legendary man!!! I’ve been watching since way back man it’s great to see the production quality go up and all the work you’ve done to get here!!

Man it was life goals to see this thing at Midwest Fest!!! Thank you so much for bringing it out!!! Hope to see you next year!!!

Let me just say you’re the most genuine and humble RU-vidr I have ever met. I went up to get a picture with you on the last day (Sunday) while you were walking back from the pits. You were more then happy too and also engaged in conversation (unlike almost every other RU-vidr). You talked to my friend and I as if we weren’t your fans, but as if we were your friends. You went very deep into detail on how the car had improved over the weekend, which was really cool and not something you usually get from famous people. Not to mention your mood, I swear you were smiling and upbeat the whole entire weekend. Really an amazing car to see in person, video does it absolutely zero justice, it is ear piercing, and those pops between shifts rattle your entire chest. Thanks for being such a cool guy!

Dude, I'll be honest, when I first saw your videos I thought I'd never see this project completed. You're crazy man. The fact that you have documented the entire process of this build, both good and bad, is inspiring and super cool. Keep it up, I wish you all the best, and I can't wait to see you smoke everyone (looking at you Hoonicorn) 🤘

Love how transparent and love your shows

What a beautiful machine you guys have built! I could feel the excitement in your voice every time you got out of the car! Great Work!

You already know that the vision you have of your perfect FD is alive. But what's so much better is that you know she's better then you are still... not cocky.. but honest. There are a million of us watching 👀 but that's because of your vision brother. I watch a lot of automotive content and you have from day one always said you want us along for the whole ride.. it's been one and it just keeps getting better. Much love to all of you!!

honestly seeing this car scream brings me tears

Fell in love with the rotary back in 1974 riding 160 miles round trip everyday up Iron Mountain leaving Birmingham, and every back road we could take to cut time back and forth each day in his 1974 RX 3 wagon. Nothing like the pop in-between gears as it accelerated up through the gears. Amazing that we survived those days flying around the mountain back roads curves on the old ancient technology skinny tires it rode on. Especially at the speeds that little wagon was capable if you kept her rpms twisted up tight at upper end of the power band. Never a boring ride back during those days, not even if it was a little damp out. Luckily once over the mountain, the traffic that there was, was going opposite direction so wide open in front of us going, are coming back. Once we headed off the beaten path most took, rpms went to the red line, and let the fun begin. Ever seen a rock retaining wall built by the chain gangs of the 1920's and 30's a foot from your side of the car doing 80 around curves built for model T's, and the likes that had a top speed of maybe 35 on the straight aways. I have, and remember it like yesterday, even though I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday. Yeah nothing like this RX7's that came later on, but then they weren't station wagons either were they. {;^€)~

Dude so stoked to see this thing at this stage I remember the early days of this build and you’ve done it man! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

looks like youre hitting the bumpstops, so going with stiffer springs or a "stiffer" exchange ratio on the suspension arms would help with going around corners and not tearing the jack points down. also, its a bit hard to tell but it looks like theres positive camber in the rear which i dont recommend unless youre exclusively drifting.

Bad ass i think this is the best sounding car out there. You cannot argue that honestly

Rob has to be one of the most enthusiastic, optimistic, Zen tubers ever. He completely accepts the journey for what it is, learns from what works and what doesn't, never cries or complains... Really easy to get behind a good person like him. I had a '79 rx7 automatic trans and was getting ready to do a manual swap but ended up selling it. What a mistake. Much Love.

i love seeing how excited he is about his creation. awesome work dude. i know the feeling of having something youve spent countless dollars and hours on work the way you planned.

Super dope how the motor stayed cool. Just puts into perspective the cooling systems capability

Rob, I had COVID a few months ago, right when you guys were bringing the FC back to life and I totally binged everything about any of the rotaries. It feels like a fever dream watching the 4 rotor rip (just like when I was sick🤣)

I’m so glad you stuck this build out and are actually driving it on track. Can’t wait to see more of its potential

That smile, excitement, and happiness emanating from you after that first lap brought me to tears man. It's a dream of mine to build a car worthy of passing down and being proud of. This jsut took me back to the days of wrenching with my family and friends and trying to build better. This is the motivation I needed to finally build a k powered beast our of my ek hatch. Keep up the awesome content.

OMG Rob did a normal ending!! But really I love how dedicated you are to the whole process, all the ups and downs of designing a race car. And you chose to do it with a 4 rotor and some high tech setups. Seriously impressive. I can't wait to see it all finished, but don't want to miss anything on the way to completion. Keep the vids coming. I love to learn with you through every discovery and mistake.

Easily one of my favorite projects to follow. Thank you for the insight and integrity, and huge shout out to you, Rob, for being so knowledgeable and doing such a good job of sharing your knowledge!

To see rob out there enjoying his Dream brings me so many tears of joy, Keep it up buddy!

by far one sick build crazy how its all coming together and looks, and sounds amazing

It has been an absolute treat to watch this beast go from an idea, to actually driving hard!! Amazing work guys! I'm looking forward to more!! 💪💪

Man it was so awesome to see this process, and HEAR this car in person. Thank you and your team for putting together such an awesome vehicle and being transparent with your process behind it! Good luck on 1 mil!

So cool the way you are sharing and showing everything from the perfect days, challenges and hickups along the way 😁😁 really love to follow the progress, and learning a lot along the way! Your are living my dream man 🤙👏 Thanks for making great videos 😁

This is legit my favorite car on YT. Nobody else has a project car that brings as much energy as the 4-rotor does.

i respect you givin the people a show in the rain man. mad props bro. think i've been subbed for abot 5-7 years now... man... what a blessing dude. keep it up man.

That fuel surge tank looks like it's bint to break its mount when you shift at 13:10 in the vid, looks like it needs some reinforcement

I hope you see this comment rob. I know this isn’t the usual comment you get but I just wanna say thank you. On top of you just being a huge role model and mentor to me in the car world, you’ve also been a wonderful avenue for me to get away from everything bringing me down in life. Any time I’m feeling unbearably anxious or depressed or even ready to end it all, I come to your channel and start binging old videos. Your videos offer me a distraction and a place to come back down to earth and feel okay for a little while longer and I’m so grateful for that. I feel silly leaving a comment in the sea of thousands to someone who has no idea who I am but I just felt like letting you know that you do more than just provide me entertainment, you give me a reason to stay ❤️ so thank you

I feel like this car is getting more precious every time I see it again, it worth all the time it took being built. I'm really glad I've had watch this creation since it began 🎩

it's always nice to see and hear loud controlled explosions

Such a crazy build! Keep it up Rob!

Nothing like man and machine, an incredible journey. And now, to dial in, and to actually become one with it. Dude, I started following from the alternator video, and glad I found this channel. Sick ride, sick journey, can't wait to see what you and that car are really capable of.

One of the most unique builds here on RU-vid. You deserve all your accomplishments

Also, phosphoric acid on the surface rust will convert it to black oxide coating that's ready for paint or just lightly protect it. It will not eat bare metal unlike muratic acid which will continue to eat until neutralized.

I’ve said many times and I’ll continue to say it; this is one of the most impressive cars I’ve ever seen, and it’s all built (mostly) by two people. Unbelievable build in every sense of the word unbelievable. Beyond impressed by you and Isaiah. I absolutely eat up every second of content with this car wearing a massive grin the entire time.

Damn Rob. I've been watching you on and off for YEARS. Since way before you even got this car. Let me say, for all the struggles you've endured along the way, congratufuckinglations for seeing this moment. And job well done sticking to the dream. I know it's not done, but damn what a satisfying moment. Happy for you man. Great work so far.

So glad to see this thing run so great

Just insane! Knowing how far you've come with the car to see it finally start to get pushed hard on a track has got to be an incredible feeling. I'll definitely be there next year if you come back! Huge congrats on 1 Million also!

Watching the suspension work was amazing, such an incredible camera angle. That was just really, really cool to see.

GREAT content as always Robby and team!~ car SOUNDS and LOOKS so sick.

Congrats on 1 mil, you deserve it man, 4 rotor is amazing

Even through the helmet I can tell you're smiling. Loving it Rob, awesome to see all the progress come down to this after all those years, this is 100% a dream car. Amazing work, guys.

this was the reason i came to this event and you did not disappoint Rob so thank you for bringing it out to MI

“So much power I melted my spark plugs” Now THATS a sentence

Amazing video, it makes me happy that everything it's going amazing

You're the best Rob. Never stop what you're doing. Found you when you started this project and I get so excited for every new video with the 4 rotor. found you when you started on it. Don't stop.

1million subscribers. Congratulations Rob, Iziah and team! Fantastic content, love watching every second. Keep up the good work and don't stop!

This is the craziest car I’ve ever heard. Congratulations my guy it’s nice to see all that work pay off

The process is so very interesting. Love the videos.

It’s really cool to see Rob finally getting to enjoy all the hard work he put in to build this car and for having to deal with all the trolls over the years that said it couldn’t be done and he would never finish it. Yeah I know it’s technically still not finished but at this point it’s not gonna take to much to get it finished and besides that,anyone that’s ever built a custom car like this will tell you that it’s never finished and will always be a work in progress.
