Love how much screen time and interaction Isaiah gets. Not just a hired hand doing work off camera but part of it all.

[@ifgezroxy]

Yeah. And he is very skilled dude. They are clearly good friends with Rob, which is lovely. Best Bromance of the millenia.

[@berserk_8779]

I remember the first couple videos, Isaiah kept his headphones in and didn’t really talk to rob, now they seem like homies lol

[@Matty.Hill_87]

He definitely gets the props he deserves

[@InUrFaceMedia-r8w]

He even talked to some of the guys that went to see rob at his sema booth if you watched any of the other early releases of this beast on youtube

I took pictures with my kids standing in front of the 4 rotor at seven stock !! Thanks Rob !!

[@tbboardhed2]

I had the awsome opportunity to see the car and was amazing to see in person. I didn't get to see you but I had the honor to talk to your brother for about 30 minutes and I must say, super awsome guy. I have a new found respect for both your family and this build. I know you have heard this a million times but ....... thank you for sharing your hard work with the world, keep it up and cant wait to see this this rip up the streets. 👍👍👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻

[@andrewmarasek620]

I keep thinking in my head, this car has to cost so much money. I hope you take that as a compliment because it's a work of art and is fun to watch it quickly take shape.

[@ardonjr]

Quickly.. hehe

[@patrick1112223]

He said previously that he hs invesyed over 500$k in that car

I haven’t watched RD but for about 3 episodes but the thing I love about him is there is no talk about the downsides to really reaching for it (of course there are) but he is so optimistic!!

[@jonpardue]

This level of integrating billet goodness with CNC everything else + fabrication and welding with 4 rotor engine madness. Most inspired build online, a real challenge, a million details coming together.

[@CTemple82]

Just the use of material and attention to detail alone used to create this masterpiece makes it so much more respectable than most, especially SEMA builds. Most definitely leaps above and beyond any other KZbin build out there. With your ideas and standards towards achieving your goal of building such a top notch machine, paired with Isaiah’s skill and execution makes one hell of team. You do whatever it takes to keep that dude around, he is a beast of a fabricator, also seems to be very motivated and enthusiastic about what he does!

[@basiltschudi3283]

I love to maximize my size especially when it comes to pipe.

[@basbasotto]

when your videos pop up nothing is faster than me clicking on it, love your work Rob.

[@yutub561]

Rob the bend radius on your hydraulic bearing hose is a little tight coming into the bell housing. Be sure to keep an eye on that line for any fatigue! I'm actually a legitimate hose engineer for a company that makes hoses like the ones you used. If you do get some fatigue wear you can either make the holes bigger in the bell housing or get a piece of stainless tubing with a slight bend on a fitting to the bearing. Or maybe a 135 degree fitting if it'll fit

[@strangehappenings8961]

Should put grommets in the bell housing where those hydraulic lines go man, just for good measure. No sense in regretting it later once you start to really drive that thing.

[@michaelmartin1700]

i just wanna watch rob's videos back to back to back for Hours. even tho it's already made it to SEMA and what not, it's still super interesting how all the pieces fit in the puzzle of this monster.

[@mitchrobinson8819]

Was so happy to see the car and talk to you at SEMA. Didn't know about this issue that you had just before it was there. I'm excited to see how you solved this problem.

[@milspectoothpick4119]

Amazing build Rob! Saw the car at SEMA but noticed your front rocker will crush the pipes that route under them if you hit a bump. Hopefully they weren't final parts

He is already perfect, and expensive ,and loves overheating , he’s already a billet rotary

[@dakar318]

Knew about the input shaft as soon as you eluded to the issue. I ran into the same thing with putting a 13B in a Miata using an FC bell housing on a Miata gearbox. Mazdatrix has a pic of the modification that the input shaft needed.

[@craigbarrett2278]

Content.....we been hanging! Been watching other guys posting walk arounds at Sema just for a glimpse of this wonderful piece of machinery.....😍

[@ElegantMessTechPC]

So cool seeing this all come together! Everything I've seen from SEMA so far is pretty much just a sneak peek.

[@chadillacinc]

I just want to see this car roasting 4 tires, chained to a wall like the gymkana awd mustang. Braap, braap. Good job rob and friends!

[@mattthemechanic3996]

Rob, the cushion measurement between the face of your clutch release bearing and the pressure plate fingers is a big essential for the driveability and longevity of your clutch. Also, you have a lot of custom parts making it possible for the transmission and engine to mate together, so make sure that your crank center and input shaft center are very close to being true considering the the power you are wanting to put down. Adjustable dowel pins may be necessary. You may already know this but I didn't here you talk about it in your videos.

[@swissmochaj]

Seen some footage of the car at SEMA. Car looked hot! Loved the way the cold side of the turbo kit turned out!

[@benlucas1039]

Not gonna lie Rob the editing is pretty great. Also big congratulations on your awesome build. Super proud of you!

[@caseyboutillier7510]

Your going to want captured spacers on those engine mounts. The way those brackets could potentially twist on the chassis along with vibrations could wiggle those spacers out putting a lot of tension on lots of other things!

[@962RACER]

14:46 you should maybe file the edges of the holes for the hydraulic slave cylinder so that they don't rub against the stainless steel lines. if you put a giant chamfer on the outside of the top of the hole, it'll give you a lot of clearance so the lines sit better and without rubbing against the hole.
