12 Rotor Build. Wow is all I can say. Rob Dahm again.

Not seeing this on the site, apologize if dupe.

Long video, but wow. Done on the ( relatively) cheap, I was impressed.

you didn’t see it from a decade ago from the person who originally built it?


it’s on here somewhere, or was for sure.

at least 2012: https://www.rx8club.com/general-auto...engine-236472/


but pretty sure it was first built in 2009 or so.

neither knowing nor perceiving that it needed about 50,000cc of fueling for max potential.

What was the original application? Looks like it was destined for a cigarette racer to me… or a tank. ha.

Haha Team!

On a separate note, I found myself intrigued by what Dahm has been up to lately. I had stopped following his work years ago for various reasons, but it's heartening to see him now actively participating in real events with his builds. However, the only video of his that I could tolerate was the one where he dismantled his FD in prep for Pike's. It ultimately reminded me of what I envisioned for my own car, although finding reputable shops for such work is challenging for me and limited in my area.

I can genuinely express my support for his newfound ventures in motorsport and extend my best wishes for his success and safety during PP 2024. If they both make it up the hill, I bet it will be the fastest rotary to date (if there's EVER been an attempt!). That's the kind of stuff I personally want to see.
