That was top 5 Rob Dahm style ending
Right ? So abrupt
I love his endings
Its like when a lover stops going right as the fire works go off ....
@@pictie indeed, the man doesn't even finish his sentence.
facts 🤦🏻♂️🤣
With every single bolt Rob touched in this video i thought: This is the one bolt hell break
Yeah I was waiting for it. The steering wheel bolt coming off with the impact was a huge plot twist.
@@lawrences1347 I was so sure that that was going to be the one but nope. Guess well have to wait for part 3 or so untill we find out
The answer is most likely YES to ALL of them 😂😂🤣
The expensive bolts are always the ones that're hard to get to and/or remove if they're broken. The cost isn't the bolt itself, rather the typical things that add cost to anything, time, labor, tools, and potential fixturing.
I'm gonna take a wild guess and assume that the bolt is going to be something that isn't easy to extract without drilling, enlarging the hole, and tapping a new one for a helicoil. Which more than likely makes it engine and transmission related, and considering this is an engine swap project, it's probably mounting between bellhousing and the transmission. Something that's not easy to access in the first place, difficult as all hell to extract without major modification, assuming the bolt hole can even be safely enlarged without sacrificing structural integrity, and a difficult job to mount onto a machine unless you have one with a ridiculous amount of work volume. This is the most logical outcome, especially as studs are put into blind holes, and typically they're not large enough in diameter for typical screw extractors, especially if the rod is deep in the hole, which means potentially sacrificing a long left hand threaded tap, or just outright drilling the entire hole out.
It's either that or a body mount for drivetrain or suspension-related components. Again something that isn't easily accessible if it's a broken bolt in a nut, though logically all of these mounts should be studs, where everything has to be done by hand. Similar situation, different components.
I got Sopranoed!🤣
I’m sure you won’t see this comment, but for the sake of safety, do not do any soldering on any of the wiring coming from the module that controls the airbags to the airbags. They rely on resistance readings from the wiring for self checks and they are super super sensitive compared to the wiring for any engine components, that soldering or repairing a wire could increase the resistance enough to cause that airbag to blow as soon as everything powers up.
And cutting off the sub structure before the car sees the rack.

Where's the 2 rotor indi car
i can imagine rob in the future making a 16 rotor turbocharged airplane
Rob: works on 3 rotor, 4 rotor, c5, c8, and drives Diablo.
Me: WHERES THE Fn INSIGHT?!?
or Viewers: Where's the 6 rotor
Rob: "I think this is the most safe I've been with a car part"
Everyone: You just manhandled a explosive device with one hand because the other one was holding a camera.
That whole airbag section was scary as fuck to watch, god knows how he felt doing it 🤣
@@Matty.Hill_87 Not to mention, when he was replacing the passenger side seat belt the white square fabric looking thing that was side curtain airbag.
@@Matty.Hill_87 I love how GM ships it in a cardboard box. VW ships it in a pelican.
"Most safe I've been" says a man who grenaded both driveshafts 1 foot from his face and all he could focus on was how well the car launched. Thats a low bar, legend.
Glad to see the C8 again! Can’t wait to see it running again so that we can do that rotary swap🔥
If 7 8 9 then c8 9 again!
This is the first I’ve seen about the c8. Is it gonna still be mid engined or is it gonna be changed?
@@Cdawg-vz5sz still going to be mid engined
@@basithph8958 damn. Can’t wait to see it then
@@Cdawg-vz5sz lol you think he was gonna put the engine on the roof or something?
His entire garage rotary
Rob: rotary good no piston too much piston around
the diablo still needs its original engine.
Potion seller...
@@extec101 For now
I'm a fan of the vette, but I am glad to see this done to the c8. Gm didn't want people to mods these much and here it is getting a different engine. Blasphemy in a good way.
I'm curious why you'd say GM doesn't want people to mod these? in this case they just don't want some guy in his driveway replacing a vital safety component. (I'm not saying I agree with that, but i can understand why they do it.)
@@notstonks20 I'm sure he is talking about the locked ECU so it's harder to turbo it or give it more power, but that's just with any modern car, it just takes some times before someone finds how to unlock the ECU
@@notstonks20 because that's the route the vast majority of car companies are going because it's the only way they can fight against right to repair.. but don't worry within the next 7-8 years you won't be able to own a car new car anymore and you'll instead be paying a monthly subscription fee to use the vehicle with separate monthly fee's to use options available on it.
@@sirmonkey1985 consumers are never going to allow that
Hey rob, how are the cat's doing?
Haven’t heard much lately about the shop cats
It’s really just ahora that’s around, haven’t see the other cats for weeks thb, she just sits in her bed up on the sparco seats and watches everyone and meows her ass off now and again
This is the car that will be stable enough at top end power and speed. This might get you the win you need on Honigan's ; This vs That 🔥🗣
can't wait for the AWD C8 video :)
@@ValentineC137 uhh wut?
8 rotor Audi R8.
@@ValentineC137 when and if he does add that LSD to the front end and navigate the carbon tub for fitment of the prop shaft provided the shell allows it. It would be crazy
With a bit more work to get the suspension working properly, more practice driving it and the body work finished properly I'm sure the awd 4 rotor rx7 could show the hoonicorn some tail lights
I love how the video was released after the Indy 500
Which bolt did you break? 🤔 every time you undid a bolt in the video I was waiting for it to break 😅
Yeah, i don't get it either. I was thinking it would be the steering wheel bolt but no.😂
Im confused
Glad I'm not the only one
I was talking about the C8 with a friend yesterday, and today you release a video on it, noice
Can you talk about the rest of the fleet so we get an update on everything? Thanks ✌️🤣
I have to laugh that you showed the Omaze for the C8 and Indy on May 30th. The 2021 Indy 500 was happening today around 1pm EST. I love the channel and content. The C8 will be amazing when you finish it up and I look forward to see where you take it...I recall you mentioned a rotary...lol.
2022 Indy 500
Omaze is a ripoff
@@rl-z4542 Agreed, I rarely thumbs down, but I had to do it here for Omaze.
I adjusted my reply, but yeah....Omaze will require tax paid before you collect either prize.
@@RantzCore Not true. Taxes will be due at the time of registration of whatever you win in your home state. Omaze will make you fill out a tax form so that they can send it into the IRS to show that you have won a prize and money but they will never require you to pay taxes up front.
"Oh, it's only 500 dollars. ... shit!" You just gotta love the slight Rob Dahm sarcasm... 😁😁😁
In typical Rob Dahm fashion, we have no clue on the "expensive broken bolt..."
he's the best worst RUclipsr 😂 definitely seems like he has ADHD
i actually forgot about this project i’m hyped now love this thing and can’t wait for it to be running
Gm has had problems for years with the airbag connectors melting because the airbags over deploy. The extra connector on the passenger side is the seat belt limiter sensor. Just wanted to give u an answer rob. Good job bro u did pretty good. Thank God u had help lol
that is a sick trailer, never expected to say something like this.
Rob, listen. I love your enthusiasm. I love the fact that you are a rotary head like I am. Your builds are pretty impressive, and I hope that one day you 100% finish one build. I am myself. I am currently building a 20 b Widebody Rx7, and you and I will meet each other on a half-mile track. Please finish this build. I really would love to see it 100%.
22:55 Jesus christ, that confused the hell out of me for a second. Completely forgot the engine was in the back, so after seeing the whole video of the front end torn apart, I was absolutely stunned when I heard an engine turn on
My parents used to always say: "Look with your eyes, not with your hands"
Turns out that looking with your hands (working on stuff you can't see) is a valuable mechanic skill though.
WoW...Rob is at it again. Love it.
Rob I am rooting for you, please race with the Corvette girl once you are done with your C8 rotary.
should have just de-pinned the harness to the air bag and replaced with the new section. But there is more than one way to go about it and you got it done.
My only worry would be if the plastic had melted around the pins and the release tabs.
@@shackle7866 I wouldn't trust the connectors for the gas generator after use, regardless. That thing gets _hot_
If your replacing any type of airbag deployment you always remove all old damaged parts first before ordering new parts. Its really common for the wiring to be burnt an plugs to be broken the fact that you'll have actual O.E part numbers to order from is a plus. Always try to send out parts for repair rather than replace if possible E.A airbag modules seat belt retracters an any airbags.
Its normal for the airbag connectors to weld themselves to the plugs after deployment
Yes. It's not the electrical current... So not welding, but heat from the explosive charge... So melting.
High tier outro
“You start pulling them they break off and you realize there’s an easier way to do it” think this sums up most everyone’s experience with body panels
The airbags can actually trigger in different stregnths. incase of a smaller crash it triggers one fuse and then some time later the other. talking about ms here. incase of a hard one both are triggered at roughly the same time. This is so in a small crash u dont get the full force of the airbag in your face. Pretty cool that we use small explosions to save lives.
My car is a 1983 RX7. When he said, I'm trying to help you why are you hurting me 😂😂😂 I felt that
Glad I could have assisted with the portal access bud, can’t wait until you get the car back up and running with the rotary power. -caddi_papi
You're the MVP of this build. Can't wait to see this car look like new.
I hate that manufacturers lock stuff like this away to only their own employees. Hope they don't crack down on you Daniel.
@@zector0 well it isn’t locked away per say. They make it difficult and don’t let the people know that they too can access the same information a technician can access. There are also alternative sources where you can find all the diagrams you might possibly need. All data is one I personally like. And it is easy to use if you know how to read a book or use the search bar. The corvette was available to me since 2019 but if you clicked on the 2020 corvette tab nothing would pull up. So they really had the corvette info tightly sealed up until it’s release date.
I hope you don't face retaliation.
Absolute legend
Gets me every damn time with the sudden endings 😩😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 can’t wait to see this beast with the 4rotor 😆😆
Whenever Rob ends the video abruptly, it makes me think of the calm before the storm. 😂😂
17:28 : They are called EJOT FDS: Flow drilling screws, which are commonly used in the automotive industry
Man, a pink hood and rear windshield on the 4-rotor. This footage must be quite old. Glad to finally see it. Keep up the good work!
the most impressie thing in this whole video is that trailer, I want one!
Rob is the only guy who will field test his seatbelts after bolting them in. After everything you’ve built and assembled and the seatbelts excite you?😂😂
21:57 Rob Dahm's argument for right to repair in a nutshell
My guess on the extra sensor on the passenger side seatbelt is that it goes without saying that is the car is being driven then there is someone in the driver's seat, or should be at least. There is not necessarily going to be someone in the passenger seat so it's not always gonna be necessary to pop the passenger seatbelt in event of a crash, hence a sensor to detect if the passenger side belt is in use
Nice work Rob. Been waiting patiently for this update. Excited to see this come together.
I am a simple man, when Rob Dahm uploads, I watch and like
Bolt at 17:30 flow drills its own hole and self taps. Legit
23:50 The color grading is so orange it looks like Mexico in American movies
Rob: this is the most I ever been careful with a part
*Proceeds to accidentally break a bolt*
one hell of a night comes to an end by tripping my balls off watching rob dahm i’m bed. Perfect thank you
15:06 Wow, someone sprung for the protective rubber boot for the Milwaukee impact. Only RUclipsr with protective rubbers on their Milwaukee's. I'm impressed.
I never thought I’d ever hear someone call a Corvette an exotic car.
Finally, I was thinking about this project
*_I can't wait until this build finishes. It's going to be sick!_*
Rob, I would at least make sure to not show the url on screen when showing a portal site you don't officially have access to
I think the extra connector on the passenger side is for the sensor that tells the car that a passenger is sitting on that position. You obviously don’t need that sensor on the side of the driver because there will be sitting someone there all the time.
Now that is a really nice trailer. If you ever do look into getting a trailer, definitely look into something like that.
You can get the the dash repaired for a part of the cost
OMG YES! I have waited all day for a video of yours! Thank you Rob, big hug from Portugal!
Damn your endings! I love it! Keep up the excellent work good sir! I'm loving the content, been subscribed for a couple years now, I can't believe it's all paying off at the same time! Your channel is gonna get huge from all this content you've been slowly creating! Yayuhh!
Robs back to his unique endings again 🤣🤣🤣
I just want to go walk around his shop and play with all the toys, I'm a rotary head and that place looks amazing
Did I miss the bolt Rob broke? I was half expecting an over tightened bolt to puncture the wiring harness on that steering wheel airbag and having it explode.
Not that I would want this to happen but the title seemed misleading.
The C8 project is my favorite so far
2:05 the Diamond 9 on the box is a "General hazard 9 hazard warning diamond sign" ... for hazards they can't exactly classify apparently.
22:30 nice truck!
when you where replacing the frame rail i thought it had no engine... then you started it and i realised how dumb i am HAHAHA
You can possibly fathom the smile on my face when you referenced Barney for the color! Lmao! That's a dinosaur I havent heard anyone say anything about these days. Time has almost forgot Barney.
I was super excited to see progress on this, glad to see you still working on this
“For being a safety feature it looks pretty good”
Rob's a good guy. Him and his buddies .
"Alright Rob, I love you" lol
I heard some mechanics tell a story once about a new guy working on a Subaru and he forgot to disconnect the negative battery cable and then he pulled the ECU out and turned it over. Well, the car thought it flipped over in a wreck so all the airbags deployed. He had to go to the hospital, lol.
It’s funny how cars now a days snap together like Legos ...I remember doing stereos in cars when I was younger and needing to take out 600 screws now all I need is a plastic pry bar set
That is the Trailer that you should INVEST in, Especially with the "Low Riding" 4-Rotor!
The passenger sensor is likely the weight sensor to register a passenger and the airbag control
ROB DAHM you need to order a brand new steering wheel ABS system clock spring instead of ordering the harness. The clock spring usually has the harness built in and should be the same price without having to splice wires in. But this is a brand new car and I’m not too familiar with this setup soo if you think you just need the harness go for it! Also you will want to pull the ABS computer module out and have a company flash the branded crash codes out of it so your ABS light goes off and I’m sure you know how to test ABS crash sensors on the front , use a multimeter to make sure you have some form of resistance and that will confirm you won’t have any more problems with the ABS light staying on on the dash. Reason to test is when your car starts the startup sequence the ABS computer goes around to all the airbags and checks for resistance to make sure things are functioning and are able to be armed and ready in case of another accident.
Shout out to that guys trailer...that thing was nice.
I hope you can get a built transmission that can reuse the paddle shifters and the buttons. Make it look stock to the T for Holley Fest next year
In his earlier C8 videos he said he was going to try and use the original drive train from the clutch back. Honestly, Rob should forego the turbskies and keep the 4-rotor N/A. 700-800 HP should be plenty for this car and would have the least amount of impact on the engine bay. That engine puts out a _lot_ of heat Rob will have to manage either way.
Fueltech in that too??? Nice job. I hope to see a collab between you and @AndersonDick, fueltech’s owner! Tears from Brasil 🇧🇷
I’m not sure what was best. The muzak or the Dahm ending.
Yo Rob you should stuff another two rotors in the front.
Dual engine awd rotary Vette.
Rob with airbag : 👗
All other dealers techs : 🔨 🪨 ✂️⚒🪓⚔
It’s quite common for airbag connectors to melt upon deployment
dude, if the shop is so hot, get a cooling vest to help. They have both fan driven and ice pack styles available.
You really should of left that chassis leg on the body show will need to put that car on a bench and given a pull . 👌🤙
this man is always up to something insane
Omg a c8 rotary wtf rob is a maniac but I’m so here for it
Yesss classic rob dahm ending
I really like the outro. Super spiffy Rob
I hope you put widebody on the c8 that gonna look so cool
Just had an idea- finish the 4 rotor c8 then mask it up, like camo for a concept car. Then drive it around and try to confuse journalists that it’s the new C8 Z06 with the new engine that everyone’s speculating
Crazy that tow truck/trailer lives right behind my house. Small world
Its once again great af vid but the lowrider tow service was the best
Seeing Rob being happy for a new seatbelt brings me joy
The passenger airbag probably goes to the sensor in the seat that can tell when someone’s sitting
Rob sir, clean the windshield of the Insight, the car never lets you down show it some love. For shame 🤣
Dude open the rear trunk there’s a small cover with 3 torx star bolts for the seat belt bolt
Airbags are triggered by accelerometers very rare for them to discharge without power or static electricity
14:20 .. those are not "safety connectors" or "safety clips" .. the red gizmos are called Connector Position Assurance (CPA) devices. They are there to assure the line operators actually mate and latch the connector .. the CPA can only lock when the connector is fully mated and latched. If a CPA is not locked, the line operator did not do their job properly. Also be careful with those airbag connectors, those are a new type.. the red ears must be fully lifted and held lifted while unplugging the connector.. if ya just pry off the connector, it most likely will be damaged and need to be replaced (there is a special tool for lifting those red ears that makes the job easier).
Woah! Nice Snappy ratchets to match the car
Corvette air bags look like they have ur insurance number and Bruce Lee punch ready to go
I really hoped hes gonna finish the 4-rotor first. I like all the projects, but wish to see at least one car finished (with interior and body done).
I will keep watching your videos but dang your endings get me lol
