Oooo look that turbo has an engine

Just roaming around waiting for the 4 rotor to be finished 😂

Aww man, this video popped up today after the 4-rotor vs Hoonicorn video. It’s crazy to see how far you’ve come Rob. Congratulations for all of it. I can’t wait to see this car get some more love once the 4-rotor is all sorted.

Angry 20b rotor sounds sweet!

Its pretty rare in a youtube video that you can actually see the power and get a sence of the performance being put out.(a remote sence). This is one of those rare videos and cars.

the mini van smoked him @ 1:13

80mm of turbo on a 2.0L engine..... holy balls

It should be a rule in youtube that if you put a car video on here that shows a car driving fast....you should HAVE to cut the DAMN MUSIC OFF!!!!!

that mini van was pulling on you bro

is it just me, or does this dude remind you of stiffler?

1:16 FIREBALL

6:45 you can see the fear in his eyes

this car is so powerful to the point that when the non-working tach felt it, it swore to never stop working again 6:45

I love this guy. Finding people for true pride in the cars they drive is tough these days. Anyone who personifies a 3 rotor rx7 as something that hates doing anything unless it's for the sole purpose of scaring the shit out of you is an alright guy in my book. Subscribed.

If I owned a 3 rotor, I would be the biggest douche bag ever.

Coming back to this video years later to remember where my rotary obsession started. In 2 days I’ll be getting my first rotary car. It’s gonna be an rx8 and it’s a hefty project but I’m so stoked. Thanks Rob for keeping my dream alive.

the car is all like: YOU FOOLS! THIS ISNT EVEN MY FINAL FORM! btw rob, do you need a wheel alignment?

Totally cool that you share your passions on youtube, cause a lot of rich car guys just post videos of street races and are so secretive about their cars. Also a big fan of the genuine enthusiasm, its like a friend running up and saying, you gotta check this out!

I could go on for days how out of every uploaded video on KZfaq pertaining to building a car, this would rank in the top 3. This is a brilliantly organized, ridiculously informative, completely engaging, and perfectly executed. Take notes, because this how you make a video.

I love the face he makes when it goes into boost

Anyone else want to see reactions to people riding in this?

Hey Rob, I have watched this video about 100 times, and still can't get over how nice your car is. A Mazda RX-7 is, and have always been my dream car. Keep up the great work!

front clips are a product of Japanese emission controls, not broken engines:-) I think you should let me have this car though. I like

Where it all started. Just came here after the Pike's Peak finish. Congrats again Rob, you've done well with this car!

His face when the turbocharger kicks in is fucking priceless oh my god I am laughing so hard.

This guy needs to be a top gear host

anybody else here from 2019? watching back these old days till the 4 rotors is 100% completed and on the car

After so many years this video is still epic.

big power, no comfort, stock black body....that's my kinda car. no F&F crap. no consideration given to driver comfort. just a mean engine, mated to a RWD driveline, that is all you need to have a smile on your face while driving.

You know a car is scary when even the owner is scared to drive it lol

Have followed you for so long now, and never get tired of watching this video, the 3 rotor is my dream car

Very nice work! Thanks for keeping it low-key and tasteful. You have a real classic.

I'd love to see the guys on Top Gear UK drive this beast, especially Jeremy

I love hiw Rob basically didn't age in the last 8 years

It's crazy seeing Rob go from this 10 years ago to having the fastest 3 Rotor Rx7 to do pikes peak. What a legend.

Fun trick for rotaries: drill a hole for a spark plug in the pipe between the engine and the exhaust side of the turbo. Now wire all the spark plugs in the engine to the exhaust plug with a relay

It looks so much better now in 2019

2019 and this video will never get old

I love how the tach started working when the boost kicked in this is my favorite rx7!

Who still watches this atleast once a month? I can’t believe it is still top video after all these years

WTF @1:13 mom driving a van just passed you lmfao, Not hating I know RX7's, is just looks funny.

At 7:30 the look on his face... Priceless!

I don't get why this keeps appearing in my recommended videos, but whenever it does I watch it. Love this car

that's quite literally the most beautiful car I've ever seen.

SO, about the Rotary engine..... The relevance of an automotive product is directly linked to its demand in the market. In an automotive market where the majority of the population are looking to travel from point A to B, people will refuse to withstand a lack of simple durability. Logistics. Yes it was a failure. Was it because of poor design? NO. A refined rotary has already been developed by a mechanical company in california, as well as Mazdas own rx7 work recently. This engine also destroyed boundaries previously unexplored by the traditional piston engine. Can this engine last a long time? YES. If properly cared for and maintenanced one can receive a premium from this engine in terms of durability. When was the last time you maintenanced your car? If your answer isn't, "Oh, i work on it every week" then I politely state that you are incapable of understanding the situation - and probably never will. So now you might cite examples of rx7's that were maintenanced and still fell apart. I would be willing to bet they were modified by someone who was NOT experienced with a rotary (Can easily lead to poor repairs, poor choice of and installment of replacement apex seals, etc...). Also may have had a very.... enthusiastic..... induction system like the one in this video. IN THE END. Is it cool? YES. Is it reliable? YES. Is it durable?..... Are you a dedicated gear head who is confident in their knowledge of a rotary engine? AND BEFORE ANYONE SAYS I AM JUST AN "RX FAN" -I drive a JEEP with a 35 year old AMC *PISTON* engine that i work on all the time -I am a diehard JEEP fan -I am just here to state the facts -FINALLY, i am annoyed that people who cant even tell you how a rotary works will condemn it over what they have heard or read.

1:15 XD Like if you like the mini van passing his car

This just randomly came up in my recommended lol. We’re all proud of you, Rob

Jesus christ, Rob....here I've been watching your videos for years now and am totally fascinated by your journey to the 4 rotor engine going into a totally custom built chassis, and it was THIS FUCKING VIDEO that got me hooked on your channel. Keep running the fun stuff, and keep making videos that YOU WANT AND YOU ENJOY! That is what lures folks in to your channel. PLEASE keep doing what you're doing.

Your tachometer seems to be working fine

haha that face at 7:00 lol. We know the car just made him its bitch.

When it kicks in it just gets a mind of its own. Damn, love it.

Holy. Shit. This was the first video I watched of yours (I think). I can't believe it's been close to 9 years since I discovered you and your passion and lack of outros. Here's to the next 10 years, many more millions of subs, and maybe 3 more proper outros, brother

He reminds me of stiffler

The wheel spin though, would have pooped myself. 6:44

5 years later and this is still one of my favorite videos on KZfaq.

AFTER YEARS OF WAITING AND THIS VIDEO BEING 6.5 YEARS OLD, THE 4 ROTOR WITH OVER 1000HP IS THERE!!!

"Angry because it's turbocharged" Rotary's love, and run very well turbocharged.

One does simply not watch 1:17 once.. Your welcome btw haha

As much as I love the 4 rotor, the 3 rotor always has a special place in my heart

I head the song from this video on an Instagram reel and it made me feel nostalgic because the first time I heard the song was from this video. Im sure glad I found this video again and it’s really been almost a decade since this video came out. Time flies by

Is it me or whoever installed that steering wheel didn't pay attention to making sure it was aligned correctly?! OCD!!

And what about alignament??... 01:28

I like how the tach randomly started working when he gunned it at 6:46

You can just feel the power...CRAZY! This thing is nuts!!!!!!

Those damn rotary engines sound like a 2-stroke, ya know like a dirtbike, and it sounds like they've got that high rpm powerband thing goin on too.

When the 3 rotor was pretty clean and good looking

this video never gets old

I had a fully built FD with a KAAZ lsd like yours and I agree, it does NOT fuck around, it was a BEAST and made my car hook and turn like you wouldn't believe... I need to buy another one of these cars lol

what's you mpg? 10?

I saw the title and was like.. Oh yes, please show me

Brings back memories of when the 3rotor wasn't a pile of garbage. It was gorgeous when you first got it. But time(or lack of) and driving the hell out of it has made it look like it isn't loved and cared for. I hope that once the 4rotor is finished you'll start loving on the 3rotor again.

7:47 that laugh explained everything about this car

When rob used to sleep in a house, Different.

"I own another Rx-7 and the cars are nothin alike" Future Rob want a word with you

This video honestly gives me strength

Every car Rob owns is "How to instantly lose your license" i love it XD

i remember watching this video when it came out damn

Damn... The RX-7 is one of my dream cars. But I'll probably never own one. The others are 1974 Camaro, Dodge Viper and Impreza WRX STi.

6:45 I like how the tach starts working again when he gets to redline

ROB DATS SUPER SICK.I WAS RAISE AROUND 13B AND 12A ROTARYS PERIFEROS GOING 7.386 ON A 1/4 MILE DOWN IN FLORIDA AND PUERTO RICO A LOT OF WHILLIES AND A LOT OF FUN.GREAT CONTENTS.STAY CRAZY🤘🏁💯👗👙

There are 3 sides to a rotor, there are 3 rotors in a 20B rotary engine... THE ROTARY ENGINE IS ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED!!!

The faces he makes when going into boost lmmaaoooooo

This was the first video I ever saw from Daddy Dahm. Such an awesome journey!

Just a couple safety points you've probably already noticed/thought about. The seat you have, the back needs to be a bit higher if you're using a harness like that, the top of the openings at your shoulder being below your shoulders will cause the harness to pull down on your body if you ever wreck the vehicle. A second, less important, point is that I would personally have the steering wheel fixed to be level when the wheels are pointed straight. Other than that I see nothing wrong with this beautiful piece of machinery.

Maybe a power demo in some place other than a suburb? Thanks for the video. We've driven RX-7's for years.

HOLY SHIT i just creamed my jeans. Fuckin sick ride man

I ran across your Channel on accident your videos make me laugh like nothing else 😂 keep up the videos

Man, you haters are sad. I personally love this car and somehow I always come across this video and watch it every time. Can't wait to see the 4 rotor!

Once you hit 5k's vtec kicks in yo

Next step, 26B?

Had one in 1999, then it was impressive (leaving out the expensive service), now well now it's already counting over 2 decades in the market.

Tach splits up to 7k rpms at 6:46 and works normal from then on. KILLER CAR AND VIDEO MAN, WELL DONE :D

Why wouldn't you use a slightly smaller turbo to get boost across more of the curve?

you are a very good spokesman, you could sell me that rx7 with that sweet speech you gave lol nice car man! that thing is a beast, loves being up high in the RPM's. Whats the redline on that thing? 12,000?

I remember listening to this song and watching this video in the 3rd grade. Holy shit it’s almost 2019. 😗

7:35 The face when he says - "This is only 600hp" Lol

1:36 wtf was that noise lol!

Goddamnit I wana hear the car not some fucking song

i cannot wait for What its like owning an awd 4 rotor rx7

I live in North Carolina and I haven`t seen one of these cars on the road in years. When they came out a few people had them, Around here they are ultra rare
