@@BigDipper907 No, it was purchased. My late father & I started the build in 2015 & I've steadily upgraded it since. We do a lot of street work up here in the northeast so I don't really like putting it out there too much. Seen a lot of guys get burned with reckless posts. Tho I've been asked to start a channel numerous times lol. Almost every Import Faceoff or Import V Domestic I go to I get that comment.
@@jdmmike7225 oh misread I thought it said won lol. Def bet it’s fun. Yea I get that tho for sure. Especially these days lately smh. I used to have a 84 z31 n/a then a 85 turbo. They were fun but soo many electrical problems especially up here in Alaska w all the snow
I love seeing all the different sides of the automotive industry coming together to help rob accomplish a very tough goal of getting a car ready for pike's peak, the support shows and we are all here to see you run up that mountain!
Tick is a great company and their parts are well thought out. Customer service is one of the best in the small space of manual transmissions. Well done Rob having them on your video!
@@spdcrzy Yeah, because you don't need it. That's kinda like having your boots on while getting in bed. Besides, a stock haya with proper tires and a good rider will outrun a car even at those torque levels. So... torque means nothing in the bike world.
Nice buy with the door handle. I like the way you think Rob. Especially when the workshop is very noisy. You're a problem solver Rob. Even the little things. i like that 👍
I've been in this industry here down under for 35 years. I can tell you that this brand is really good for business and it's the one I've had to do the most 'maintenance' on. Wish you all the best with yours. The other two brands very rarely. Make of that what you will.
I really need to get involved into racing . So many of the techniques and thought processes behind them come so natural to me. Every time I watch one of these videos rob talks about something he’s learning to go faster or be faster and it’s something I’ve already been thinking in my head or doing on sim . Eye opening and makes me want to get serious
Matt is verry knowledgeable met him at LS fest east this past weekend great dude cant wait to buy my t56 magnum. We talked about this video and transmission
Don't be man. Be happy for papa Dahm. Not like you could've used it properly even if you had it. Not unless you plan to do exactly what he's doing. Which is what... a fraction of a fraction of the car world. He's the nutty guy we all follow to see where the limit is.
This is why I love this channel, I get to learn so much from it. Unfortunately I probably won’t ever be able to use this knowledge but none the less I have it 😂
So cool to see a sequential going into the rx7 it deserves it after all these years, I can't wait to see the next big chunk of progress can be much metalwork left now! ❤
I've got a Tick TR6060 in my twin turbo Coyote powered '65 Mustang. Tick cam/valvetrain/clutch/hydraulic setup in my Gen V LT4 Aston Martin. Active Team Tick member as well. They've always been great to deal with, awesome company.
One day I’ll be able to work my way to being able to visit this shop, and take surely the most cherished photo of my natural life with none other than Rob Dahm’s bathroom’s incredible door handle.
I built the very first prototypes for ppg and and in partnership with one of the undisclosed 8 elite tremec reps about 8 years ago. Very cool to see where they are today, shit the ppg gear set alone was i think a little under 20,000... cool shit
Would be amazing if rob did a interview with nobuhiro tajima aka monster aka the man behind the escuda pikes peak ect and the first to go sub 10 on pikes before being completely paved. Watching his race videos going up pikes peak are insane. Makes you really appreciate how fast and how close to the edge these guys drive.
I watched one Barry it self in my chest after an attempt of getting it off of me I literally never got the rest of it out ! Lime disease talk about worried. That was almost 16 or more years ago.
You guys should do a collaboration with Roadkill. They're going to recreate their Mazdarati (mid-engined '74 Mazda mini-truck) again and this time are contemplating putting a 4 rotor in it instead of the original v8. What a cool video series that would be.
Almost nutted over the new trans! Working on a 350z build using your nemesis LS 5.3 build. But the trans would be a sick way to go!! I would still trade cars though! LS is a great motor to turbo , coyotes rev ti the moon and sound sick but that Mazda has all others beat when it comes to the pure sound ! Love it Rob I can’t wait!! So excited to see how you do !!! Pikes Peak brother damn !!!!!!!!!!!!
That hall effect VSS is pretty cool, I'll need to look into that. I wonder what sort of mad scientist stuff Rob is going to do with that strain gauge. Cool stuff.
I'm glad you're finally going to go to an air shifter. I know you talked about doing it years ago on the 4 rotor, so it's nice to see it finally happening.
Rob, for cooling, try looking up what Mercedes AMG F1 are doing with Reaction Engines. I think, if you could replicate what they're doing, it could lead to some major weight savings + performance gains over stock cooling methods.
darn, i liked the fact the 4 rotor was built to win, including a seequential transmission, but i liked the 3 rotor having a dog box h pattern even more. h patterns are awesome. i get that if you want the car to be as fast as possible sequential is a no brainer though. but h pattern was just so much more baddass.
27 days to finish building a very complicated build, dial it in mechanically, learn to drive it then take it to pikes peak and not crash. Yeah I'm not feeling great about this one Rob.
4 rotor withdrawals have been pretty bad over here. Nice to mainline a sequential driveline after going literally weeks without! Good luck to you all getting ready for Colorado!
i love the straight cut gears but the further you get from what i consider a "real" manual the more bummed i get haha, i think the human brain with a computerless non hydraulic manual can perform just as well because we can think ahead in ways a car cant, and predict optimal gears or sometimes intentionally using a different gear than the computer would pick in the moment for a long term gain. also i very often shift from 4-2 or 6-3, and sometimes intentionally dump the clutch to upset the rear for example, or i can carefully rev match with different intensities based on how much traction i predict the corner exit to have for example. just personal preference, i want to see your vision for this car!
Loved to see any of your rotary’s ran up against what mazzei formula’s got going on…on an auto cross track of course where true form and function can be tested…because let’s admit it straight line cars get boring after awhile
Does anyone have any links or search terms I could use to research transverse-mount rotaries? In my dream garage there are a couple cars I'd like to rotary swap (AW11 MR2, CR-Z) and looking to crush my dreams with impossibilities lol I thought a CR-Z with a 13B with the IMA still functional might be quite interesting; using the IMA to aid in lower RPM accel and city mpg. My guess it is a project hell or maybe Rob would've considered putting a rotary in his Insight! ;)
What maximum speed are you expecting to hit on the mountain? I've gone for pretty long (relatively) gearing in my sequential, but she won't be at PPIHC for another two years or so. Max out at ~170mph @8000rpm
If you have to ask the Price, You Probably can't afford it . I need overdrive in a street car. Staight gears are the way to go. All of my Trucks have Straight cut Eaton Transmissions 13 speeds 10 speeds ect
I wonder when someone will create a whole electric servo mechanism for seq. shifters. I know pnuematic is popular, but no way it could be lighter or faster or more accurate than the right electric servos.
Rob have you ever considered having rocket type fuel injected anti lag turbos, like the 2006 wrc cars that would launch at 2k rpm but full boost? Something like that at pikes peak would be a huge benefit no?
Such a fucken nerd. I love that. Seeing people really hyper focus into what they want and making it happen and sharing all the stuff that went into that decision
Rob: "This is the ultimate T56 sequential."
Joel: "Smells good!"
😂😂😁😁😂😂

Until hes fighting someone and stops cus he sees a cool car and starts nerding out about it lol
Hes is from Michigan, home of the wolverine
Uhhhhh......yeah that's strange
I'm an old guy who does not wrench and never has.I am not built that way but I love watching you throughout the years and your progress

straight cut gears, barrel selector. strain gauge linkage, gear indicator - all normal (performance) motorbike stuff!
Lol I know that's all stuff I got on my kawasaki or ktm
except on a bike its a real sequential. Dog rings.
Motorbikes won't be making 600+ lb-ft of torque LOL
My Triumph has it too.

I learn so much from Rob's videos, the signal to noise ratio on his content is stunning.
My thanks to you and your team.
“I love pulling a long rod” 😂 8:00

Can't wait to see the paddle shifter in use. And of course the NOISE>!
That door knob is a must, should add shift light too

@@Berm_Blaster yep. Like Rob, I enjoy making bad decisions.

Let’s go another rob dahm video
1:44 laughed my butt off at the amidships mod on the gearbox. Man, they really had to squeeeze that in. :)) Nice.
I think you'll really need the pneumatic option with that close of gear ratios between gears.
Finally going paddle shift is the big game changer.
When your transmission is bigger then your engine you need more ROTORS...
i love the straight cut gears but the further you get from what i consider a "real" manual the more bummed i get haha, i think the human brain with a computerless non hydraulic manual can perform just as well because we can think ahead in ways a car cant, and predict optimal gears or sometimes intentionally using a different gear than the computer would pick in the moment for a long term gain. also i very often shift from 4-2 or 6-3, and sometimes intentionally dump the clutch to upset the rear for example, or i can carefully rev match with different intensities based on how much traction i predict the corner exit to have for example. just personal preference, i want to see your vision for this car!
