It's your honest enthusiasm about living what you are doing and that you actually teach this apparently smart electric motor manufacturer something that keeps me watching. Also, you don't let the fact you don't know what you're doing stop you from having a go, and that's a very Aussie thing to do mate, top work.

I have been a follower almost from day one, and as i am a poor DIY tinker myself. At first i thought: "oh cool, some another rich guy with my dream Lambo and nice RX-7" and i have never been that interested from rotaries, but when you showcased the 4-rotor first time. I thought that's a very cool project and: "oh cool, this rich guy has some money to build that kind of monster ride". But after you released the video about being pissed off to wait the experts build it, and started to build it yourself in your own shop, this channel has been absolutely fire for me! And not seeing Rob anymore as a 'some rich guy' in my eyes. As im also a machinist and programmer for my daily living, it's so cool to see that some random person just starts to learn this hard industry for his hobby stuff! That got my 110% respects for Rob.

I have been a viewer for a very long time, since the business advice days where Rob would be in his blue walled garage. Rob has always striked me as a genuine and transparent dude. This video shows that. I've been following these projects for some years now and even supported on patreon in my own darkest years just to see this awd 4 rotor rx7 take shape. I know I cant afford my own dream rx7 and might never be able too. But some of my money has helped getting that rx7 to where it is today, and that is good enough for me! Its as close as I will get and the videos through out the years helped me a bunch and probably many others. Dunno who even would read this but have a fantastic day and never give up, i haven't yet :)

[@RyanTaylor-hd7zg]

This is why I've stuck around so long. Every video, every project we can see the effort and time you put into these cars and everything you have done. If it weren't for seeing you overcome hard tasks, I wouldn't have any inspiration to finish my FC. Most of car KZbin is people having no issues spending incredible amounts of money and all the sudden having a running and driving car. If you ever started selling engines/housings/irons or anything like that, id definitely buy some. It definitely would be great for the market right now

[@michaelokeeffe490]

I’ve been watching your videos for about 3 years years and I do watch adam Lz cleetus etc but I always prefer a rob dahm video for the realness and the full transparency, I get far more satisfaction seeing you build the 2/3 and 4 rotor showing the true parts of building a rotary

[@anthonyn.5351]

I’ve been watching you since the Michigan days before you crashed the lambo, and I have to say this HAS to be one of the most educational, entertaining, genuineness, and inspirational channels. Occasionally I’ll see you comment or post in Manual Elitist Jerks and I think the support you show and get only amplifies what the channel has

[@m1fpv]

Rob, your channel is one of the very few on youtube that shows what actually own a heavily modified car is in real life. Most youtube channels hide the painful part, they make it look like its only flowers. Thank you for keep it true. From some IT person as well, that also own a heavily modded car..

[@ev4n5eli0n01]

It’s the video’s like this that keep us here. Wheelies and horsepower are great, but it’s your journey and lessons that you bring us with you, those are the things that the true enthusiasts appreciate. You’re showing us things the pro’s want to keep secret because those things are money. It’s a huge inspiration to all of us and humbling to know that it’s possible to do these things. I feel there are a large amount of us who don’t own a rotary, myself included, that can appreciate the things you bring to light. Things that apply to cars in general but also rotary awareness.

[@drock3332]

Rob, we would all love an engine made by you. Rob, we with a rotary or plans for a rotary because of you would happily pay good money for a Dahm Spec engine. Rob, we love you. Rob, we will support you with any avenue you give us to. Rob, keep your head up. You're an inspiration and that's an understatement.

[@staticivi]

Just a quick Google and I learned just how expensive just buying a 4 rotor would be... I don't have the space or technical expertise to build one from the ground up, let alone make it even semi reliable. Being able to buy a Dahm spec 3 or 4 rotor to put it in something it doesn't belong in would be amazing

[@iz-296z4]

Hey Rob, I don't often leave a comment on KZbin but...thank you. It's easy to view KZbinrs through rose coloured glasses. Thank you for sticking with it and working as hard as you do. Happy to see the progress you've made, looking forward to what's next. Makes it more relatable to see you're not immune to the struggle. Keep up your efforts.

[@mateoylmz]

I'd look at your content every single time even tho I'm a college student and got my own build I try to make time for. It could be anything make a 3 hour long video and I'd still make time to watch it. I admire how you're able to follow through and backup your words and not get swayed by what other people think or say. Your awesome man keep doing what you doing

[@elibelmont8944]

I have been watching your channel for a couple years now and you've always been someone i look up to. i learned what a rotory engine was from your channel and even have help some buddies with their rotory engines because of you. It is very inspiring to me because i've been in a dark spot in my life for a while now just lost on what to do in life working bullshit jobs just to keep a roof over my head and food in front of me and saving every bit ican for any kind of little project i can get. It's very inspirational to see someone that i have looked up to for a while go through some very ruff shit and still stay motivated and keeping these projects going. im sorry im bad with wording things but i hope to one day build my own 3 rotor fd! Your such an incredible guy i hope to be like you

[@gapnfap9223]

Rob there is no loss in watching any of your content. you're knowledgeable and sharing aspirations to many out there. good to know the background. Keep up the awesome vids you reach out to so many who love working on jdm projects

[@ChaosAura]

I had been wondering this for a long while. Happy you've made it work and that things have turned out in the end, with such awesome machines you don't need someone else to look after.

[@DetroitMuscle440]

I spend countless nights designing, troubleshooting and researching anything my mind can envelope but I haven't actuated anything to the point of pride you have. Thank you for doing what you do. Small request, bring the 4 rotor to Detroit or PRI someday soon!

[@gabriels.713]

For what it’s worth, I really like all the technical stuff and I think it’s one of the things that really sets your channels apart and what makes me keep coming back. Watching you work with cnc’s or solving very specific problems, while very specific to your car, really helps me see any aspect I can improve mine with or really just pushes me to do the same

[@1KR_B]

Glad you've been able to pull through the thick and thin man, been watching since the beginning (BOV video). And beyond glad I had the chance to shake your hand on Woodward 8 or 9 years ago! I can't wait to see all the new and crazy visions you have coming! Keep on pushing man!

[@MVPKill3r]

been watching you for years now, and didn't know you were that bad off before. I'm glad to see that you persevered through and look forward to watching your vids whenever they are uploaded. Can't wait for the years to come to see how far you will go.

[@morenoquijada]

I am an IT guy, studied electronics engineering and I do that for living. I've always wanted to do something with cars but life got in the way and you and your channel helps to fill that car enthusiast life that I don't have. I'm 28, still have plenty of time to start, but I feel you bro. Keep it real

[@3dkiwi920]

I've watched 6 hours back to back of your content just now man... Why KZbin hadn't recommended you sooner I'll never understand. You're an inspiration to someone on the bottom of the planet so you keep doing you!

[@ethannguyen8811]

I don’t ever waste time watching you my mans. Your always entertaining and your a Great rotory teacher. This almost made me cry because I’ve watched this channel since the 4 rotor wasn’t even in the car then I watch ALL your videos and loved every single one

[@noahbauer4518]

Ahh watching Dahm between work calls, this is life

[@will1552]

Rob we're not wasting our time watching you. We all love your videos and appreciate the free content you give us. We are all very thankful for you sharing a project many of us could only dream of building.

[@Jsyn219]

Rob, I have been watching since way back when you were giving life advice in your garage in MI. Thank you for following your dream and sharing it with everyone. Watching you is not a waste of time. It is getting to experience something awesome and help support you to do what you love. My first car was a rx7 and i was lucky enough to own an Fd later in life. I sold it due to thinking i would never be able to support the car to the level it deserved. I miss it. Thank you for giving me my rotary fix. Good luck in all you do. Thank you

[@AnonCaliga]

Weird? You’re weirdly wonderful and a legend Rob! Thank you for being so honest, down to earth and real compared to the many, many other well known you tubers that you’ve mentioned. Thanks for sharing and as always keep up the amazing work bro, you rock!!!

[@Tzuau78]

I so am glad you did this video. It just brings reality to the situation. Appreciate the effort man! It also brings us in, more emotionally invested, to things like first starts etc. I love that stuff!!! Keep up the awesomeness!

[@ShowtymeDesignz]

I wasn’t into rotary stuff til i found your channel, i was intrigued by the things you do and your dedication to it all. I was a “Honda ricer” for years, had a 845hp civic that got stolen and stripped, we found literally a bare shell, your channel makes me want a rotary car so bad, maybe one day when i can afford it I’ll get one, being a disabled veteran i don’t have much.. all this to say don’t stop pushing yourself!!

[@AzureCrux]

Man, you say that you feel guilty, but you're giving us a lot more than you think. What you say is a waste of our time... You're giving us encyclopedic knowledge on things that a LOT of other people refuse to talk about. Every dollar that you spend, you document what happens with it and share the knowledge. It's not too far from saving us money since we are gaining a lot of the lessons learned without the cost to play. I *will* build a rotary at some point now, and that's because I have so much more confidence that I can make it happen through everything you've shown me. Thanks for putting it all on the line. We're happy you're here, and we're excited to see your success continue
