Let's Talk About Rob Dahm and the Fake Car Industry

[@3campbep]

6:39 this dude called it haha. It's being redone but it's been 5 years and it hit Sema with a full and finished body and has been running on the track.

For someone going to small knowledge of cars to being the man who has created an AWD 4 rotor build is amazing. He’s added more and more technology to make it better

[@shinobu3817]

Man is already making 4 digits on the dyno with his 4 rotary billet

[@Blaylock1988]

I saw the 4-rotor at SEMA that year. I had no idea who Dahm was at the time, I was just really impressed by the suspension setup. I just happened to come across his youtube channel a year later and recognized the car. I really like his content and format. He's way more lowkey and funny than a lot of the other current top car enthusiast youtubers.

[@-_-Code-_-]

a bit hypocritical... "other peoples opinions dont matter".. yet you just made an entire video on YOUR opinions... ironic.

[@CGoody564]

RC Codes he didn't say other opinions don't matter. He said other opinions don't matter TO HIM. Big difference.

[@-_-Code-_-]

Cory Goodman while I agree he said “to him” at the same time he emphasized the position that opinions don’t matter. Then made a 10 minute video about his opinions... I see your argument and I agree yet the irony remains.

[@CGoody564]

RC Codes I don't see your point, and your statement is disingenuous. He said other opinions don't matter to HIM; he didn't emphasize anything about opinions not mattering in general. This HIS video. If his opinion doesn't matter to you, simply don't watch it. There is nothing ironic about saying other opinions don't matter to you while your own opinions do. They aren't mutually exclusive by any means. You can think the same of his opinion and simply ignore his sentiment. Him making a video about his own opinion has nothing to do with how he feels about the opinion of someone else.

[@hectorrivera5093]

Exactly my thought

[@JamesMotorsport]

Damn son, I came here for car content and got a life lesson.

[@chinchy111]

hey be glad rob actually keeps the rotorys instead of LS swapping them like most people do. that alone is an achievement

[@octapc]

Calling enthusiasts fake is wrong. Experts, who are predominantly commercial companies, often don't give anything away unless they benefit from it. You create the enthusiasm for an industry that benefits from the enthusiasts. Great video, great subject.

[@eriklarson9137]

Lol. That was almost a complete thought. Nice.

[@mikeeyyss2150]

But now his dreams are near reality.

[@devonwoodman1523]

Bruh majority of cars at sema are rolling chassis

[@TheFanatic340]

And some of those will never drive.

[@Sir.VicsMasher]

At 8:48 "Rob said the fastest RX7 ever built..." I'm pretty sure Rob was referring to top speed's and not 1/4 mile ET's.

[@SaturdayWinter]

Fast = top speed Quickest = acceleration / 1/4 times

[@Sir.VicsMasher]

+Saturday Winter Exactly, I have no idea why this guy keep's on talking about 1/4 drag racing when Rob's never talked about it being a 1/4 mile drag car. You'd think Rotors Magazine would know the difference.

[@MDethCKR]

Rob mentioned 1/2mi rotary records at one point...

[@chandleryoung7289]

Yea this dood doesn’t understand literally that rob is a car guy he’s spending his money on a project car

[@chandleryoung7289]

And that he was talking about half mile records doing 180 something

[@mplewp]

4 rotor will take time. try designing a transmissiontunnel that will fit an rx7 and will hold 1600 hp and 4WD kickback. not to mention the friggin heat this will create.

[@clarkwayne2102]

And now he did his first burnout at the Burnyard Bash. All-wheel drive

[@symontabbenor2186]

I thought this was going to be a Rob Dahm bashing session and what I got was a really refreshing view on Rob and the internet world. I loved this video. I personally apreciate what Rob is doing with his 4 rotor 4wd car, his is getting some great proffesionals to do the work for him and he is putting it all together.

[@Dirtfloorfab]

I've been in and out of watching your channel you really bridge the gap between most of the auto KZbinrs I hear you talk and it seems worth while to listen to. I just started my channel this year and for me I see the KZbin car scene in 2 group's. 1.those who are out in the shop/garage building their car's 2. Those who pay people to build, tune, swap. And talk about cars on their channel As far as the talking about cars aspect I admire your talent because as a new channel my self it's one of the hardest things to think of what someone wants to know or may ask. To talk to the camera like a person. Good job man looking forward to next year

[@street273]

My only problem with this video is because passon takes times. In the world of cars it takes money which also take time to make. Don't call out people and say it's going to fail just because it's taking to long. Be patient and let the man do it. When has a first car every been built in one year???

[@KennyatHumble]

mike dejong That’s what this video was about lol.

[@moe48]

i like how real this channel is. no matter what you guys do you do you.

Brandon sever robs got a 4 rotor you know a very expensive engine

[@ImzCaliiCo]

"Lets talk about bigger KZbinrs so I can get more views on this video"

[@KennyatHumble]

tru

[@anactualsmartcarguy8739]

I don't think rotors is in it for views, it's a legitimate topic. i disagree that rob had it in mind to just get enough of the 4 rotor out at sema to get sponsors. yes, Rob's definitely a smart guy and a business man. but i don't know, i still feel like it would of been a long shot idea. well done video tho. thought out and views all sides

[@johnd9357]

Most retarded comment of 2017 honestly. Is there some rule that you have to have a certain sub count to mention another channel? Why would he make a video about some car/person none of us know? That would make no sense.

[@ImzCaliiCo]

Never said it was a rule. I was saying it's the fact that he randomly throws up Rob Dahm in the title to get views. It's obviously just banter and isn't serious, so chill out.

[@johnd9357]

Avoided I am chill brother. Just disagreed.

[@fastec5]

I don't see how it's a shitty thing to do. It was sema. Half the cars there don't run anyways. Plus the motor is supposed to be finished this month on the dyno. So I'm guessing the car should be actually getting somewhere.

[@vanhattfield8292]

A good video, much different than I thought it was going to be. I'm glad I took the time to watch...

[@Kay-ip7jk]

Why thos video ended up in my feed is beyond me. Watching rob even gave me more confidence and I literally work on my vehicles in my yard. See you at sema. Lol

[@mclarenjohnf1]

I have to agree after watching almost all of Robs video's on the 4 Rotor the chassis is wider and the whole motor positioning is set back for the FWD system also his motor was stolen, the finance side is mainly out of his own pocket I would like to see that thing get to the track and then the road. As you stated the hand made parts also take time as you know a well built drift car can take a year or a custom job from the likes of West coast can take 6 months to a year a home build minimum 3 years.

[@harleypickin217]

If you watch his videos he says he extended it because there is a magic ratio for race cars

[@Rotary12A]

Rob dahm is a cool dude. Hate when rotary dudes bash each other.. He knew the 20b was a shit box he admitted it alot of times.

[@vinzchannel01]

2020 Go eat you words

[@WeRide4Snow]

Just a correction. He actually said the highest hp 4 rotor in the world

[@kylepriz69]

It's ok to express your opinions about people's cars because that's what they are, opinions. If you're a true car enthusiast you don't have time for mf opinions or he said she said. At end of the day it's still about what you like not what everybody else likes. All that flexing shit needs to be left in 2017.

[@mrvector257]

"That car could come out 5 years from now and I'd still find that perfectly acceptable". Well we've got 6 more months, since this video was released, to see if it's done! He's definitely well on track.

[@humanperson900]

You should make podcasts dude. I like walking around doing stuff and putting my phone in my pocket with this and similar videos playing its really chill.

[@KennyatHumble]

stay tuned.

[@KennyatHumble]

If you think this video is a 'hater' video on Rob Dahm, I strongly encourage you to watch the video instead of just reading the title lol. Every single point was on point, down to guessing the car would take ~5 years to complete lol.

[@Birb_of_Judge]

To be fair the title is a little click baity/provocative. But you did make a few good points. Genuine question, do you keep up to date on his project?

Yo this is the type of automotive journalism that the industry needs I'm so sick of the staged discovery era type of hype that's generated! I'm always stoked to watch your new stuff and your absolutely right this industry is built on people doing what they like with their builds regardless of what others say or do the only down side to it is..... often when product company's or even in some cases certain shops.. jump on board with what it is your doing it's easy to sell out on a project when product company's have their own projections on your build...

[@frankensteinaccord1106]

These videos are long and well through out. I actually listen to them on the way to work in my Honda (yes I’m that guy). I did an f20b swap and I don’t respect all builds (civics with axle backs) and I feel better now about NOT respecting shitty builds and I have you to thank for that. I found a new home for my commutes. Subbed ! Keep posting great content! Ps (I wasn’t sure why you said don’t get accords in your first car video) that f20b sits in my cg6 s engine bay and it runs really strong. Obviously it would be faster in a civic but I feel like Accord’s get a lot of flack for being “heavy” but they’re pretty much the lightest cars in their class (at the time) and they come stock with a pretty good amount of power) enough to beat civics and integras on straights. I’m guessing you said get the civic/teg because of the weight thing. Either way, great content !

[@AKhellbindeR]

Actually the main problem with many of the big time car youtubers, is that they don't know jack shit about working on cars, besides buzzwords and things they read online, yet they want to be heavily involved with the modified carscene. He seems like a great guy personally, but why should you care what ThatDudeInBlue thinks about anything related to modified cars, he has zero experience even working a ratchet as seen from his 2jz 200sx build. I think all he did on that car was to try to remove a heat shield, and failing i might add. I just don't understand why people want to get into this game if they aren't willing, or cant do anything themselves. Cars break down, modified cars break down more, sometimes a lot. Your car is gonna be in the shop more than you're actually driving it if you cant maintain it yourself.

Roi Bitao we can't get E85 here anymore and when just using water/meth injection you don't need to upgrade lines and injectors And can keep stock tanks and regular upgraded pumps! Love W/I! Wouldn't have made over 600 from a 2 rotor without it!

He's not aiming for quick 1/4 mile times. It's not gonna be a drag car. More of a rotary equivalent of a hypercar. I know it takes very long but I'm 100% sure it will be an amazing (and incredibly fast) car eventually

[@KennyatHumble]

Correct, it's not a purpose built drag car, but he has said it will lay down the fastest quarter mile time of any RX7.
