"unfilmable things" Honestly, even if you'd stick a cap on with one of those poles that rotate around and film in that all seeing bubble angle, and it would speen around and bang on things, i'd still watch it. This channel is just that entertaining. Heck, give the cat a camera and let it out in the shop.

They could mount a few cameras. They could wear mikes. Have footage from the cameras edited together to make a coherent video. That way they could have the videos edited while the camera rolls.

[@robertbloss4409]

ROB, IF you use a 5 point harness WITHOUT a roll cage you are at risk of injuring yourself in the event of a roll-over. The 5 point doesn't allow you to roll to the side when the roof caves in, you will most likely brake your neck. At the very least have a single hoop cage behind you to provide minimal roll over protection. One more thing, ALWAYS wear a Hans device with a 4 or 5 point harness. The harness and seat does such a good job holding you in even a small impact can snap your neck. Please be careful......

[@gearhead_J]

better to snap the neck right away than end up in flames from the exposed fuel system inside the cabin lol

[@marcpledger]

I second this. If you think you need safety equipment then you need safety equipment. Being dead would make it hard to achieve your goals. Buy the best you can afford, you can always make more money.

[@comethiburs2326]

the man's done 200mph runs with a 1000hp car with no reinforced bellhousing, no floors and no firewall. you're right, he needs to get the proper safeties done... on all his fast cars lmao

[@marcpledger]

@@comethiburs2326 bro it’s kinda a running joke that Rob only truly cares about rotary engines. If he spent 20% of the money and the time he spent on the wiring harness and spent it on safety improvements I personally would love that video. Every time I see Rob’s feet from the outside of the 4 rotor I think of The Flintstones. I can’t imagine they had high safety expectations in a Stone Age quarry! Rob Dahm, a lot of people look up to you. Please be a good role model mate. Safety regulations are written in blood, the world already has a James Dean. I’m certain there will be many safety sector businesses in your industry that would love an opportunity to partner with you. No more Flintstone feet bullshit please!

That would be a scary idea. The lotus evora with a tighter pulley is an absolute monster as it is. One of the few

[@962RACER]

Those coatings look great. Btw brake cooling ducts on the front will be a cheap but very effective way of improving on the brakes, and i have a hunch that with the stock rotor size and calipers, though capable, with the power this thing is making it will get the brakes crispy after a few hard laps.

[@fr_nk777]

That coating looks gorgeous! Fascinating as always

If he’s going to be using the 3 rotor on the track it really needs to have an aero package. Especially if he’s running a tune with more than 5 or 600 hp

[@arrivendrive6831]

Rob I really am enjoying your channel even more. The 3 rotor is now not just a straight line car but instead becoming a well sorted out weapon. I have ohlins on my Fd and trust me you will not be disappointed. The 3 rotor is has more torque than the 2 rotor, which should help you with acceleration coming out the turns. Keep an eye on engine temps because the three rotor will normally get hotter than the two rotor. A good cooling system will be needed.

[@tylerfehr889]

Looks like a great work place, lots of positive vibs

[@viperdiddle5763]

with the amount of time and money this man has spent, this would really give credit to his dedication. Would love to see it!

[@MrKelenek]

If you want more air into the intercooler/rad, Try a Long front Splitter. The air creates a high pressure area at the back of the spliiter and has no where to go but into the inter cooler.

[@lawrencefoster2120]

You have a platform enough to ask a dealer, business of product to come with there, represenetives like powernation does, and demonstrate there product by installing it. You have a million people who will watch.

Whos yelling "asshole" at the end of the video 🤣

[@fighting2succeed]

The SRF fluid is crazy good though, worth the price it you're too lazy to regularly flush your brake fluid. The wet boiling point is higher than a lot of other fluid's dry boiling point. It's difficult to boil that fluid, even if it's many years old.

[@Nathan-qm6dh]

Those only hesitation I have about the ceramic coatings is that if the part ever fails or cracks and you have to re weld something its an absolute nightmare and I can only imagine how much worse it would be with the stuff on the inside..but it looks amazing..

[@Pheatan]

You also have to think about the fact that the piece wont be getting as hot of a heat cycle to damage the welds in the first place. I probably wouldn’t ceramic coat something until after testing and tuning because thats when those parts are most likely to fail, so build them to survive then add coating as redundancy.

[@jarrydweber7950]

I think a chassis mounted wing on the 3 rotor car would help a lot in the long run.

[@MrQuantom]

Would have been very interesting 🤔 Rob, if u had done a before, and after Temperature readings before the Ceramic/ Copper Coat, and AFTER with the Coated Housings, AND Blankets, I used Jet Hot on my 13B. RX7 Racing Beat header, but this looks Superior to theirs... 😎 🆒️ 😎

[@pootmahgoots8482]

Legit seeing all that trunk space got my brain imagining a massive rear mount radiator and oil cooler setup with all that room for activities. Maybe even throw a huge intercooler back there for all the cooling. No clue why, I just love those types of setups. Another thing you could maybe look into installing is a water reservoir and pump with lines running to the tires so that you can spray them down if you notice them getting too hot and to maybe get a little extra life from them. Could also send a link out to the front mount and radiator to mist them with water to help them with cooling. Just random thoughts to help out!

Getting slicks wet is not a good strategy

[@pootmahgoots8482]

[@benzineist]

@@ValentineC137 It is common at Autocross to spray down slicks after runs to cool then down using an air pressured sprayer like you see people use for weed killer. Not sure about track but I would not be surprised if they do it too between sessions. While running…no way.
