- Welcome to the first episode of American Tuned. Rob Dahm’s quest to visit America’s most extreme tuners begins at home with his own wild, 2000hp 4-rotor Mazda RX-7. Not only is the car being built by hand, but he’s also attempting to send that power to all four wheels using pieces borrowed from Corvettes, Supras, BMWs, and Skyline GT-Rs. If you plan for things to break when tuning cars then you’ll never be surprised. By that measure, Rob’s test was extremely successful...

Soooo honored to be doing this! And the first episode being my own obsession. I couldn’t ask for anything else. I could have given up on it when things got impossible a couple times but I had to see it through. Better than that, going on these adventures with American Tuned has already taught me so many things I can do to improve my builds!!
Mind blown! How have you been doing all this on the side??
always kinda saw you as a tv personality, well spoken, calm demeanor, ect. and what better program to start with‽ saw some unique yet familiar builds in the teaser, I approve. this should be good.
Keep doing what you are doing bruv!
cant be more happy for you, proving to the haters that they are wrong!
Good shit Rob! Looking forward to the rest of the series.
I had no idea Rob was going to end up on Top Gear, but I am HERE for it. I can't wait to watch him fully unleash the RX-7 after all these years.
I know 🤯🥳🤌
why is it called top gear
Absolutely awesome when good people get what's coming to them. Similar to when Chris Harris came on the show... Great to see Top Gear is heading in the right direction.
what no ad for keeps lol
right!?! Hooligans yes but i want not expecting top gear. More props to him!
Having moving parts exposed in the cabin is just insane. 😂
yo fr just noticed that omg
Bro should be wearing a flak jacket. And helmet. And pants.
Haha, maybe a fastened Kevlar blanket over that section would be somewhat ideal
Yep, for sure. You wouldn't catch me sitting next to a propshaft spinning at ridiculous rpm. That's just asking to be in a self destruct episode...lol
The vintage dragsters had the diff in front of the driver by his legs
So how did you lose your fingers ?
“I dropped the cigarette lighter down the side of my car seat”
Wouldn't be a Rob Dahn 4 rotor video without it breaking.
I have nothing but respect for him. Most of us would have given up a long time ago, he just keeps on rebuilding and rebuilding.
Yup but this time the engine broke the car
I swear. These people are the most patient and committed being when it comes to their dorito spinning passion
Money plays a part as well
@Automobile Addict yep lol and he has a lot more than most of us
Just 2 more weeks.
This video isnt even about the RX7 to be honest, its displaying passion for cars which is why we all watch Top Gear in the first place! Keep crushing it Rob!
Except that he doesn't have any mechanical knowledge, which I would think should be a prerequisite for top gear.
@@Vasilyevich05 how does that explain Top Gear 'hosts' over the years like Clarkson, Rory Read, Chris Evans, Adam Ferrara, Freddie Flintoff etc etc if mechanical knowledge was a prerequisite?
@Devil's Advocate good point. I don't know anyone on this list other than Jeremy Clarkson. What he lacked in mechanical knowledge he made up for in comedy I guess.
He built this car himself with limited help from other, He has learned to machine and engineer parts, I would say he has a hell of a lot more mechanical knowledge than most on tv. He plays his own knowledge down a lot but anyone who can build, machine and tune their own rotaries has mechanical knowledge for sure.
@@Vasilyevich05 He does tho, he has whole videos of him disassemblingthen reassembling a rotary and having run straight away

No shielding around a transmission, t-case, and driveshaft is the sketchiest thing I’ve ever seen.
Love this build. Really have to give it to him for not giving up on this thing.

This gives some appreciation for how hard it is to engineer cars which can run 300,000 miles under less than ideal conditions and maintenance. Good on him for doing it by himself.
Yeah, makes me sad when all these newer cars have brand new technology with an insane amount of sensors and computer input. It's crazy how far things have come. I miss the old simple motor on a frame, but the ability to go faster with stability and reliability is amazing. Never thought I would live to see mass produced cars driving close to 300mph from the factory.

those are called youtube analytics. so sad to see people like you in the masses tied into what is a "hype" as opposed to learning the history of cars, this is not the first 4 rotor engine. i mean this in the best way possible, but please do more deeper research. life didn't start start in 2022.

Been watching Rob's content for years now. This is so awesome to see him on Top Gear!

Not strange it sounds like a 787B. Also a 4-rotor.
Mad Mike also runs a 4-rotor.
Great to hear these engines revving to the moon!

This dude’s tight-rope-walking that fine line between genius and madness, and I love it 🙂 🤙🏻
Rob is both, genius and mad but im all here for it
Truth and I love it.
Most accurate description of Rob ever. 😂
Choosing a rotary sealed his fate as the latter. 😂
Mad genius?
What an amazing episode. So glad this made my night. Thank you guys, and great work Rob!
Been following Rob's build for a long time so glad to see him on top gear He's going to kill it and that RX7 sings like nothing else I've ever heard
The sound of Rob's 4 rotor. It's straight up F1 worthy. And Rob's passion for rotaries is awesome, rivaled only by Mad Mike's.
F1 engines are used as a structural element in the case, hence it might be difficult to design a suitable rotary engine case geometry.
Well it's almost the same engine than the legendary 787B
eh , mazzei ?
Guess you never heard of Abel Ibarra
@@erkinalp Well he's gonna find out, since he bought a 90s-era Indy Car, which I'm sure will eventually see a 3 or 4-rotor (if not the massive 6-rotor Rob has an E-shaft for)
now this is a new topgear show i can get behind. rob has some real passion and i cant wait to see more episodes
This is the most emotial video I have seen in years. If movies came anywhere close to this, I might actually want to watch them. Huge respect to Rob!
Rob you seem to amaze me with every video you put out. I love to see the journey and build of your Rx-7's. I am looking into getting one in a few years and would like to get your intake to what to look out for etc. when purchasing one. Thanks again for the great videos.
The fact that rob made it to top gear after all this years watching him develop his RX-7 confirms my thoughts on how passion and effort is a necessity to reach your goals. I’m truly happy for him! And can’t wait to see him finish his RX-7
passion and effort + dumb luck...
many possess the former but you can't actually plan for the latter. be ready when opportunity knocks, at least
More like he's a rich guy that hangs out with other rich guys. He pays people to build his cars, he doesn't actually do any of the work himself.
@@lazylion420 + being born rich
He has never reached his goals because he is an ass clown.
Only Rob would be so happy about breaking things on his car, love his energy, when everything is going wrong, he try's to find the best of the bad situation.
i think it's something he's had to adapt to
Just another opportunity to eliminate the issue and make his vehicle that much more perfect.
dont forget he is an it guy= problem solving 😁
@@amyrparker6313 He truly is an engineer (licensed or otherwise) in search of the next weak link. Drag racers have been doing this for untold decades, they just haven't been as excited about it!!

Rob is such a stand up guy, love his builds!
woooo, never thought you were a fan of Rob, That's nice to see
Hi there Angie! Huge fan here!
You're going to die one day. When you do, you'll be before your Creator. He will judge and punish every sin ever committed. You are a very wicked person. We are all wicked. You stand no chance before God. Neither does anyone. There is absolutely nothing you can do to earn forgiveness or merit anything but His holy wrath. You are openly wicked, engaging proudly in absolute perversion. You are blinding yourself more and more each moment. You have gone so far as to exchange what is natural for what is unnatural. If one lie is enough to condemn one to hell, how much more a life such as yours. God is perfectly just and righteous, His standard is perfect righteousness, no sin will be left unpunished. But God so loved the world, that He sent His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, will not perish, but have everlasting life. God became a man, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ to take on flesh, being born of a virgin conceived by the Holy Spirit. Jesus, God in flesh, lived the only perfect life, the only One to ever be perfectly righteous. And He did it in order to give up His life as a ransom for sinners. We earned death and judgement, wrath for our sin. A debt we can never repay and will spend eternity in hell paying. But God, Jesus, came to give His life as payment, to pay that debt, to redeem, to ransom sinners. He was falsely accused and wrongfully convicted. the Creator allowed His creation to beat Him, mock, spit on, and whip Him, thrusting a crown of thorns on His head, and crucify Him. On the cross He suffered the wrath of God for sin. Giving up His own life by His own authority, declaring 'It is finished!', He died. He was buried. Three days later He rose from the grave, being raised by God to declare with power Jesus Chris is the Son of God, the Lord of all. He commands us to repent, to turn from our denial of God, our self-righteousness, our evil, acknowledging our sin is sin, it is evil against Him, our holy Creator, and to turn to Him in faith. For those who do, He not only forgives their sins as He paid for them on the cross, but He grants to them His perfect righteousness, the very righteousness of God. For those who believe in Jesus Christ, they are credited with the righteousness of Christ and their sins have been paid for by His sacrifice. He gives them eternal life and calls them children of God. But for those who do not, they will pay for their own crimes against God, not having a ransom made for them. Jesus Christ rose from the grave and ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father, waiting to return and judge the earth and gather to Himself His people, those He has redeemed. For those in Christ, they will spend eternity with the perfect, holy, awesome God. For those not in Christ, they will bow their knee and confess Jesus Christ as Lord to the glory of the Father and they are cast into hell for all eternity. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Repent, believe in Jesus Christ.

Proud of you Rob! Great seeing you live your dream Brotha!
I'm still thinking about getting an Rx8. It was my favorite car back in the day, and would have preferred it over the Honda S2k which both came out with similar power and rev limits. I really loved the red interior with a red exterior. A family man's Rx7 and reviewers said that it had basically no body roll.

Nice to see someone who didn't underestimate the early prius. So advanced for it's time.

I haven't decided if I want to hear it blasting down the freeway at 3am. It would make every biker twist their neck for miles.
That's the angriest bee I've heard in a long time.
What does this have to do with the Prius ? Did Rob Dahm have a modified Prius at one point? I don't see the relevance, not trying to be rude.
I can still remember when Rob showed it at sema none drivable and now it’s an AWD Monster. People said he couldn’t and look where we at right now. I’m proud of Rob and respect his grind

Been following robs 4 rotor project for years, its awesome to see him make it to this point
I've been following Rob for years, he's a genius. Well Deserved!
Can't wait to see more of this show, Rob is such a genuine guy
As an avid car enthusiast I've seen a lot of people bad mouthing Rob Dahm, and for the life of me I can't figure out why. I'm not a Mazda fanboy, not a rotary guy, nor am I an import scene fanatic. But this (and other Rob builds) is down right amazing in every way. Power, custom cuts fits, fabrication, ect and the stand alone trial and error to reach this level of performance can only be "scoffed" at by those without a clue. 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Watching some of his videos are crazy with the lengths he went through. He's got an entire series of videos in trying to figure out what to coat the inside of the rotar housing with. Another several videos just on different types of apex seals and all the types of failures each have; how they fail and why. He gets seriously nerdy on cars. I've watched a lot of car videos, I've never seen one on what to coat the interior of a cylinder in. There's no complete series on cylinder head o-rings. It's always asides in videos, "Well this is known to do this". Rob will sit down and explain the tradeoffs in every single little component in detail, the why and how. His IT background shows to me. The way he goes into it is the type of discussions coders have when debugging code, take every little thing apart to the Nth degree and isolate every failure point. Try to figure out other options and the tradeoffs. Only he's debugging a car.
They're bad mouthing because he's lifting the hood on rotaries and sharing everything he learns. Rotary community has been notoriously hush hush about a lot of the technical details that he's now freely sharing on RUclips. It's all just a bunch of old heads trying to stand guard because their castle is crumbling.
@@Chilipotamus 😲 that sounds like a conspiracy
There's a very easy answer to this. He said this car was going to be done like 4 years ago.
@@Chilipotamus so its basically nothing but gatekeepers over rotaries?
Thats pretty cringe if true

I remember being a kid/in high school when he started to build this beast. So awesome to see Robb on BBC/Top Gear 🤟
Great to see Top Gear actually bringing back the tuned cars segment (real old OG's will remember when they used to test tuner builds).
English Top Gear used to do that? This channel is the one for the original English Top Gear right?
Isaiah with the spare belt on his neck. Breaking major components in the first episode. Yep. Some Rob Dahm lore right there

Rob is a gret guy, this vid was an awesome watch. Subscribed
This series definitely has a lot of potential, as viewers have shifted from television to Online based platforms like RUclips combined with most car based RUclipsrs with the most views being from the US. With the likes of Adam LZ's builds, TJ Hunts Mustang build, Illiminates GT-Type R, Boostedboiz MR2 and that's not even scratching the surface.

Wow, I can't tell you how proud I am to see that Rob has come this far in time. He's gained so much notoriety from his Diablo 6.0 VT and his rotary work. I've seen SO many people say that this 4 rotor will never run, talk all of their crap, and Rob just overcame step by step. My name is Rob too, and although I have much lower goals, I've reached them as well. I own a 1997 Civic coupe that started as a cheap $1000 single cam with a turbo that made 250 whp, to a fully built B series turbo that now makes 709 whp...and I did it mostly on my own (with the help of tuners and some good friends). Still, Rob has really inspired me to keep reaching and keep moving. Dude's a legend as far as I am concerned.

Literally jaw dropping; one of the most innovative designs I've seen in my life.
Loving this new host. You can hear the enthusiasm in Rob’s voice and he actually knows the engineering behind the car. Looking forward to the next episode!

Your enthusiasm is infectious. I used to tune the old Rx's. Man that little RX was a blast to test drive after I tuned it. Lady kept bringing her RX's to me because a previous mechanic screwed them up. Two different timings to set. He set only one. Made it run like crap. Fresh plugs, correct timing on both timings voila Lady thought I put a new engine in. So funny. Shit happens. But yeah I understand, respect, appreciate and, share your enthusiasm. Nice to see in such a younger generation. You really apply yourself. Well done indeed.
I LOVE IT. the whole car,
of course Rob is amazing too!
This is a fantastic story Rob. You have truly created something special! Loved watching this culmination of your work!
You mean the people he paid to build it created something ordinary that most rich people building 4 rotor cars do.
I love this car so much! Rob is an absolute genius
If he was such a “genius”, you’d think it would be somewhat complete by now…
no he is definitely not. The car is STILL on the verge of destroying itself after a decade of failure
First of all I really like Rob. Everybody is an appoligist for him though. If you were going to build a car this is not the way to do it. Course 99% of all the comments in all of youtube is oh your the best. What a great journey blah blah. Get a life. Course now I'm commenting. Dammit!
@@handsolo6241 "not the way to do it" then how else would you say would be the "better" way to do it? Watch youtube about someone properly making a four rotor awd rx7? I think while he isn't a "genius", some people like you, discourage the amazing attempt that is being made to surpass the limits.
@@mikesoria3418 Easy guy, I'm not "discouraging" anybody. I don't think anybody could do that with Dahm. what I mean is the only parameters he had for this car is 4 rotors and all wheel drive. No interior, fine. Its not a racecar that will pass tech at any racetrack, its not a streetcar that can ever be road legal. It's rad, but it serves no purpose other than to kill him. I admire Rob and love rx-7s. That's why I have been watching him since he bought his 3 rotor a long time ago. I feel like he's in over his head on this one, don't know if it can make a descent quarter mile time, or hold a skid pad worth a crap. Its a 10 thousand rpm S.E.M.A queen built to showcase products. Makes for good content though. Super glad your so defensive for him, but come on man.
Amazing video. Thank you
hard work really pays off far more more than expectations...never give up on what u really want/need ur gold or dreams...love for the motorsport...876 Jamaica representing...1_love
looks like rob actually slept in preparation for this show
He probably just found some good skin moisterizer he is going to advertise to us soon 😂We all know Rob doesn't sleep!
Absolutely beautiful piece of engineering. With the things he's doing he's going to make a difference in the world especially in the automotive industry. Rob has such an amazing personality and a great hunger for knowledge.

Son unos de los mejores conciertos.
This is amazing car ! Your team is very very cool mechanics and engineers!
Bro your enthusiasm is a pure expression of your passion. We’re not so different you and I
At first I was like “that looks like Rob!?”. Amazing to see how far Rob has come. He is perfect for this! Great to see his success!
Rob's been one of my favourite RUclipsrs for the longest time, and to see him involved with something like this is simply epic. Well bloody done man, you're a natural at this, your raw enthusiasm and thirst for knowledge makes for thoroughly engaging viewing. I hope to see many, MANY more episodes of this - USA is a treasure trove of some truly mind-boggling builds. Also... well done to Top Gear for venturing down this route, the internet appreciates you!! 🥳
What you said regarding Mike and suspension, was one of your best episode uploads on your channel.
More technical the better.
I've seen this car many times before online, but to see it on top gear is bad ass. Awesome achievement
Rob's enthusiasm is contagious. He's one of few RUclips personalities that you can truly see his passion when he's talking about cars. His eyes bug out like a kid at Christmas, you love to see it
Rob's own show on Top Gear? That's amazing. this is going to be awesome.
The greatest choice from top gear was picking Rob he’s the best and just awesome to listen to
What an amazing story and man that sound is beyond expectations!
still remember when rob was showing what a walmart subwoofer would do in a car. crazy to see how far he’s come 💚
Or tint lol
shoot that wasn't even that long ago. Remember the first UPS incident?
It's great to see Rob and Issiah getting the screen time they deserve! Love the MCM t shirt too!
Will this episode of top gear fit in my honda???
Absolutely amazing!
his excitement and enthusiasm is infectious
Rob was the perfect choice for this show his love for engineering and everything automotive is so genuine
Poor Rob. I've watched this build throughout, what a trooper. He keeps breaking stuff because he's going insaneo mode with this car, and he just keeps going. No quit.
I think by the time he's done with this and has something with a body and something resembling an interior and it's reliable enough for a track day he'll realize he could have built a turbo Lamborghini for a fraction of the cost.
@@BigUriel I’m guessing he knew that from the beginning. Going fast is easy, being unique is more interesting to him.
Wow! Amazing work, Bro!
I owned one the year they came out. I saw it coming off the truck and said "I want that one." They made me a decent deal, though I needed to use the warranty a few times, they gave me a loaner car when mine was down. After a few months, bugs were out and I had so much fun. Took it up to 150 mph on a Texas freeway. The car could go faster, but I couldn't. I did feel safe at that speed, though.
Great date car, too.
the amount of custom machining rob had to have figured out to get that car working is insane 😭
Only took him 12 years… and he still sucks at keeping a project in one piece. He’s not a good builder or driver.
@@jonathoncook8367that’s what makes the car so cool. Just an “average joe” project car
