Please somebody buy the 3 rotor from Rob Dahm he is the worst owner in history and that car deserves somebody that knows what they are doing not this ass which decks everything up!!!!

[@MattReczynski]

i'll give rob a dollar per rotor

[@karriebhurgari3933]

😂

[@TheRealMrMoose88]

The 3-rotor is the unfortunate lab rat for the 4-rotor lol.

[@daveechronic]

at least he is doing work himself, he can clearly afford to get someone else to do it, yet he does it himself...respect

[@Xempt_One]

Lol, he wired it himself and was running what 900hp for how long?? You couldnt afford that car bro.

[@WelcomeToTheMadness]

Nothing to get your heart pumping like parking lot purchases. Are you going to get murdered, are the parts stolen, are you going to get robbed...tune in next time if you make it !

[@SimplyCars_]

lmaooo couldnt describe it more perfectly

[@dbnpoldermans4120]

Somebody will steal just the door.

[@Not_Hans]

Ayyyeeee lmao

[@baileymacquarrie1313]

Lmao

[@effyeadude]

I see you on Cleetus and Jeremy's channels all the time. You are EVERYWHERE.

[@ForeverNeverwhere1]

Cheap carbon doors, at 11.08 you can clear see chopped strand fibreglass mat on the inside. So they are a carbon fiber outer skin over GRP doors.

[@chrismawson4430]

Yup, probably just normal fiberglass with a carbon weave laid over it for rigidity and being carbon. True molded carbon is absurdly expensive.

[@TheEpicXpudding]

That's seibon for you

[@delta2167]

Saw that too, looked to see if someone else saw it, and someone had!

[@thelist1372]

Carbon skinned anything is cringe.

[@damionshannon1067]

Being reinforced with fiberglass does not make the door trash at all. Overpriced? Sure...but still completely viable. Fiberglass is stronger than Carbon Fiber.Watch this to see the difference between CF & FG:kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXm7h5lmiMZ9pqN9 would be pissed if I had paid for a CF door and got one like this, but he got a door for the price of...drum roll...a door. Nothing wrong with this at all - but mostly because he got a decent deal. You couldn't make a door for 500 bucks.

[@alexlam24]

You would probably have better luck making the FD lighter if you went to the gym. No amount of carbon fiber is going to save it.

[@harrywain186]

Lmaoooo 😂

[@hailstorm7868]

FD is already light as feather, further weight reduction would be spaceframe instead of it's body.

[@emperorcyborgs3459]

LMFAO

[@jchemikill9184]

You would probably save more weight cleaning up all the excess wiring. Lol

[@gedeonbertram]

@@hailstorm7868 it already got an spaceframe, the carbon parts are for the 4 rotor

[@MyNameIssaSimon]

11:05 Thats not a carbon fiber door. It's a glasfiber door with a layer of carbonfiber ontop to make it look like carbon.

[@exvils]

nope, just chopped strings.. this happends to me all the time when dealing with fabrics, whats better to do with excess material than using it on actual part

[@MyNameIssaSimon]

eXViLs - 8B008B I've only worked with glasfiber but I've seen others work with carbonfiber and I've only seen that pattern on the inside of the door from glasfiber chop mat. Carbonfiber from what I've seen always woven and the stuff on the inside is definitely not woven.

[@msengineeringdavid3702]

eXViLs - 8B008B it’s a top layer of carbon with glass chopped everywhere else.

[@acruzp]

That is absolutely glass fiber.

[@silvergrandam2002]

3 rotor needs a cage in it like last year. Should get one for the power you pushing threw it

[@jameshanna3672]

Dude .Be careful with all those crazy was California drivers. The doors are sick but not having crash bars in the doors is a little terrifying. Carbon gets stronger the more pressure you put on it but for crash resistance Kevlar would help big time. I can make you some crash bars out of Kevlar for free if you need them. Just message me. Keep up the good work.

[@rococococo]

Maybe he just needs a roll cage in his 1000hp car...

[@not.angelo18]

Thank you James, very cool

[@THEpicND]

Rocco **** wait is he actually not having a cage in it?

[@msengineeringdavid3702]

james hanna please he’s in a 90’s car he’s not better off with the stock door to even matter.

[@acruzp]

Who told you carbon gets stronger the more pressure you put into it? The yield strength, which is the tensile strength, by definition, can *not* change with stress...

[@Wabeeninc]

Rob dealing carbon fibre doors in a car park....

[@RobDahm]

Speed is a drug. And I am an addict

[@acruzp]

[@GreatValueJohnnySins]

Rob Either Didnt Think That Through Or Maybe He Actually Is Addicted To Speed 🤔

[@michaelm6574]

Mansory vehicles use make some beautiful carbon cars. That's not a carbon fiber door it's fiberglass with carbon fiber skin

[@Demoni696]

@ 11:07 "This car has carbon fiber", Is tapping on fiberglass.....

[@konstantingoodbrother860]

To be honest , Rob, you cant call your new door a cf door, as on 11:10 you can clearly see it was made out of fiber glass + 1 one lair of cf on top. Also it was made without vacuum.... What does that mean to you: real cf door will be 20-30% lighter and more then 50% stronger. IMHO door you have cant cost more then 300$ as there is only one lair of cf and it is the most expensive after work in this things.

[@irrayplaceable1858]

🤣 died when you said this isnt ChrisFix's channel.

[@liamsels3112]

you should really only do this if you have a caged car with bars in front of the door

[@r3d1911]

your 3 rotor videos kick ass good seeing great videos from you again. channel is back to being fun again!

11:05 anyone else notice thats a glass fibre material, either its carbon front, glass back or thats not a carbon fibre door my friend haha.

[@MrBurntasphalt55]

They have chopped carbon fiber too. Js

I love your videos Rob, Just the suttle parts that your talking about are interesting! Cant wait to see the 4 rotor on the road!

That's the same guy that has two right side carbon fiber for the RX-7 FC on eBay for $999 you can actually buy the set from the Japanese website that makes them for $300 more for the complete set right and left

300 for other cars aswell?, if so what website is it?

[@ronniecontreras6385]

I just started watching your videos and I already love them

[@KameTrick]

5:03 "Dose not that note look weird to you, br0?" haha too many redbulls? Wish I could keep up the increased uploads but I watch when I can, it's really moving along :) Getting fenders and doors off is always a PITA, there's always another bolt...the CF looks sauuucy!

[@corriejacobs5876]

Brilliant Rob, we following you to the end where you hit turn the piston world up side down

[@NateRist]

I felt the same way about my seibon trunk on my RX-8. Fits great but it definitely feels more fragile and needs a good 2 hand push to actually lock with the latch. I don’t regret buying it, it does save a decent amount of weight (unlike the hood which actually added weight, but it has those super sweet vents for cooling, so it’s not a completely ass backwards “upgrade” lol)

i would also like to know.

[@dj4monie]

@@brucepoland6518 Not sure people want them now. When nobody wanted them 20 years ago. There is nothing special about them either other than they whole a fair amount of boost when modified. Seems to me you want to avoid smog regulations whenever possible. Further proof how nearfield human beings tend to be.

[@brucepoland6518]

@@dj4monie considering that the first generation celica has a really big following and they are getting hard to find a lot of people care for them. I also own a 74 celica. what does smog have to do with anything? There is no smog laws where I live so that doesn't even matter what so ever. Also its holds boost.

[@jchemikill9184]

Lol I mean this with no disrespect Rob because I watch your channel everyday and love it. Most people would pick the Lamborghini but my dream car is a 3 rotor RX7 and now you're going to have a 4 rotor. Ugh I'm jealous. But after seeing your wiring and the CTS with half carbon fiber on one side, you do things so half-ass it's funny. LOL You really do have such nice things though. I'm going to get another Rx-7 after I finish restoring my 03 Mazdaspeed turbo protege. It is a fun car but I'm going with all forged internals and a clutch upgrade then new paint. It's all original and they only made 600 in spicy orange. Plus it has a little sentimental value.

[@DriftGT86]

Is it possible to put the outter carbonfiber skin on the metal door even that don't makes it lighter you have then carbonskin for the 4 rotor ? sry if it is a dumb question

[@gsppuffer]

Rob is the ultimate half asser when it comes to cars

[@fuzzydogdog]

Rob and Garrett seem like the two kids that would argue with each other about cars at the lunch table.

[@TheDementedMonkeys]

Will you install a full cage on the car? FRP\Carbon doors aren't a smart weight reduction move without a decent, fia or scca compliant cage.

[@MyWolffy]

If using carbon doors I would DEFINITELY have a roll cage.

[@brianchen3964]

We all know carbon fiber is indestructible, you'll be safe rob!

That door likes like it’s mainly fibreglass and has maybe 1-2 layers of carbon. You can tell from the inside of the panel, a lot of companies do this to save money.

I recommend the street faction door cars for the 4-rotor. (Has optional speaker cutouts as well)

[@vibe1884]

I love subscribing and commenting!!!

[@kevinhugenschmitt1861]

is the matte black interior fiberglass or carbon?

[@Floordford]

If I did a raw carbon door id do a carbon design on the body to let the lines blend in better. Technically it's adding weight but it'd look much better and more thought out.

[@severesilence1871]

Hey rob, do you think the roll cage would take most of the blow

[@asrdarkhorse96]

Gotta factor in glass and honge adjustments and with a latch and those adjustments it should be great

[@Floordford]

Can't tell you how many times I've done "hey why not" fun projects that go nowhere.

[@thenightlifenj1]

Rob make sure you get those doors cleared. I know they have a uv coating on them already but adding another coat of clear will greatly extend the life of them.

[@miatafan]

Is it getting plexiglass rear windows too?

Comparing an empty door to a fully loaded door. That was very informative

can you put a aluminum sub frame in side the door ?

Get electrostatic speakers for the 4rotor... they weigh way less than normal speakers and tweeters

[@hArDsTyLe2259]

I would wrap the carbon fibre in the same color as the cars paint to hide it :)

[@goatmonkey2112]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wonders about the safety of aftermarket carbon fiber pieces. Or even worse, fibergalss pieces.

[@billybobjoe198]

I'm no materials expert, but I know people who make aero use carbon fiber only where strength isn't important, and fiberglass where it is. So why would a fiberglass aftermarket door be "worse"? The goal of driving is to not get t boned anyway.

[@goatmonkey2112]

I don't know about that. From what I've seen Carbon Fiber is going to be stronger and lighter for the same size piece. Fiberglass is just going to be easier and cheaper. The higher end Corvettes swap out some fiberglass pieces for carbon fiber for example. It also depends on how the forces are on the piece. Carbon fiber will be very strong in one direction, but you could take it and break it over your knee in another direction.
