As soon as I heard him say that I was like that's what she said then I scrolled down here and found your comment hilarious.

[@willsaund13]

I believe it's been said before

[@harveywhite3001]

You got to it before me!

[@gerardbuscombe585]

@@NYangryguy I did exactly the same thing.

[@RadDadisRad]

You should do Teflon bushings instead of steel washers. The torsional and shear load of the aluminum against those control arms during dynamic movement of the suspension will still cause binding with the added affect that the control arm is the softest metal and will sacrifice first.

[@rustywrench500]

I was thinking the same thing i just hope he reads it in time before it goes wrong.

[@TURST67]

Aluminium

[@DeagledSmeagol]

@Aditya Ali Aluminum no like rubby rubby on steel

Teflon nothing, Daddy Dahm needs some delrin in his life!

I feel like the whole time Rob was on the Bachelorette (The One Episode) he was secretly in love with the 4 Rotor

[@FYC0069]

TJ Hunt: I wonder if I can put on and build this body kit before SEMA B is for Build: I wonder if I can put the body back on this car and swap an engine into it before SEMA Rob Dahm: LETS BUILD A WHOLE NEW CHASSIS FOR SEMA WITH A 1ST EVER BILLET MOTOR

[@ristekostadinov2820]

Yeah but tj hunt and b is for build started the projects this year. Rob is building this car for 4 years. Not trying to downgrade Rob's work but you can't compare.

[@amberionik]

@@ristekostadinov2820 not only this year they both started like 1-3 months ago (at least bifb)

[@DIllybarification]

You know if rob was actually a fabricator, he might have a better idea of how crazy finishing a car that literally has no floor in it is for one or even two guys.

[@nopenope1959]

@@DIllybarification fortunately for Rob, he maintains the belief that he can sleep after Sema or when he's dead. I also think we have to remember rob said a running and driving car at sema... which unfortunately does not necessarily mean it will have a floor lol. Which I think those of us who have followed the channel for sometime would not be surprised haha

beat me to it too lol tons of tube to lay

The big question we are all asking ourselves is, "Is Rob really gonna get this thing together for Sema"?.... Hell yea.. #Ahura #26b

[@yosephmcjoe9575]

we've all been preoccupied with asking if miscellaneous part was billet... but we never stopped to ask if Isaiah was made of billet

Does the year pass by really quickly or does it feel like SEMA happens every 2 months 😂

[@XantheFIN]

Someone add this car to BeamNG and we see how it holds together with these works.

[@Grimm-Gaming]

yessss!

[@Grimm-Gaming]

Knowing Be itll literally tear the suspension out woth the power it makes thougg.

[@connoisseuroftigolbitts]

Except in real life nothing on this car is replaceable everything is custom made so go figure how expensive && time consuming is this build

[@Grimm-Gaming]

in real life yeah... but not in beam. ive ripped many tires off and suspension in beam from doij hard launches

Can't wait until ahura gets it's pop up headlights back!

POP UP UP AND DOWN HEADLIGHTS

[@michaelmichaelmotorcycle2174]

Not gonna lie, I was gone for a while stopped watching your vids but I’ve been watching every update on the 4 rotor for the last few months. Keep it coming

[@CUBEoneVX]

This 4 rotor awd project is like a Dragon Ball series, takes sooooooooooooooooooooo many episode to get to the juicy part and then CLIFFHANGERS and then something happens to the Main character that he cant have peace.

[@ineedmymodfixed]

Rob when I was using a tube bender at my last shop they always came out like that. Take a grinder with a sanding pad on it and lightly take the scratches down or a DA sander than then put some paint over them. If blended correctly you'll never be able to tell when they have some paint on them.

[@zachrogan9979]

Dude you are for real inspirational. I know I’m a better fabricator/welder/mechanic etc. but I just seem to overthink and complicate things and your progress is inspiration to just do something wether or not it will be perfect. Thanks man and good luck.

[@thunderbirdizations]

6:04 *”While he hand-fabbed those billet pieces,”* *”I got these billet pieces made.”*

[@thunderbirdizations]

Btw is that technically billet?

[@samalbury9183]

@@thunderbirdizations no, billet means that it was machined from a solid hunk of metal

[@thunderbirdizations]

Sam Albury what I mean is, he made a very complex shape without having to cut and reweld it. He started out with scrap, and cut off(machined) pieces he didn’t need. He didn’t cast it and he didn’t add/weld additional pieces to that sheet

[@jamessilly6837]

@@thunderbirdizations the piece rob had made was billet, the other piece is not in any way shape or form billet.

[@thunderbirdizations]

Chill, he cracked a joke about it being billet in the video. I’m just providing extra reason to back up that claim. My main point is, his fab skills were on point considering he could improvise making a complex shape without cutting/rewelding any of it

[@richardfuller3566]

Robs only laying 1.5inch pipe. Surprise surprise. Maybe that's secretly why he didn't make it past Episode 1 of the Bachelorette.

[@1DoPeS14]

Just wanted to say that you are kicking ass Rob i cant wait to see you ripping around in the 4 rotor!

[@bradb69]

Side note, I’m so impressed by this young faber

[@noanoxan]

Rob! Tell me those suspension parts have delrin bushings on the way to replace those steel washers, because I don't want you to die at turn 1! 💙

[@kylewilliams6679]

Rob, great work on the vids man. Im loving the raw state that we get to see the fd in. It really just shows how much of a monster this is going to be. It's already my favorite rx7 here on KZbin.

[@zstrode.8953]

I'm so glad I found this channel and build! Awesome build!

[@MuffinWRX]

I'm closing on my first ever house around the same time sema is. All the rush you do for the 4 rotor i feel but for moving out for the first time ever. If you can do it, I can do it too. Thanks for the motivation!

[@brandonpayne1207]

Hey Rob, I work for a company called TECAT Performance Systems in Ann Arbor MI. and we make a wireless torque sensor that you can put on a drive shaft and measure torque while driving. It would be sweet to see how much torque is going to each wheel. Love your channel and love this build. Can't wait to see this car move under its own power.

[@RobDahm]

That would be nuts to measure!

[@joshjones2053]

Love the videos brother!

[@pelecho]

You just hit other level on building the 4 rotor rx7 👍

[@jimmy4993]

PLEASE SEE THIS ROB!!!! Hey mate please consider an alternative material for bushings. Delrin or poly at the very least. Delrin will give better impact strength, elongation, self lubrication and better tensile strength. It seems like a little thing which may not need much attention but considering the build, delrin is the way to go. Poly bushings is next but you will have to lubricate them to prevent binding. Been watching for a while mate and enjoying the build.

[@shaneblacklord3313]

You have 22 days to finish and get the car to SEMA lots of late nights guys ! Can't wait to see it finished on display at SEMA!

Hi Rob! Why did you choose - Kendall GT-1 / 5W-20? and premix - 2 cycle engine oil Quaker State ???

[@chrisbrown5164]

At 5:28 you can see a slight cut in the frame probably when cutting the stock stuff away. Hope you guys fixed that.

[@simonbeaulieu720]

When you bend tubes that much, how does the metal react ? Does it lose strength ? The inside part seems heavily compressed and the outside part is heavily stretched, how do you manage that without breaking the tubes ?

[@EridanDan]

Wuut? Dimpled eyes? What's that? 🤣 Just kidding, do me a favor and turn what's left of that unibody into a beautiful piece of Emmenthal. That's the proper name of the hole-famous Swiss cheese, btw. Also, since you say that fabri-cobble-ication isn't your forte, buying an Isaiah was the smart move, Rob,. Looks like he's the sharpest tool in your toolbox right now 💪 Keep on keepin' on guys, all the best, can't wait to see the car at SEMA 🤙

why not put the dry sump tank in the back behind the passenger area like most tube frame cars? edit: clarification

remember to keep the whole you cut out when using dimple dies, theyre free washers!
