An overnight flight from Australia brings more power to Rob Dahm's 4 Rotor RX-7

The week's single upload is all wiring, intake manifold and Haltech tuning, and its comment section has already started naming the car after a Mazda concept.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Rob Dahm posted one video this week, and it turned his channel's daily views up roughly tenfold. "He flew OVERNIGHT from Australia! So we can make more power!" picks up the 4 Rotor RX-7, the four-rotor Mazda build that has been the center of his garage for years, and adds a visitor who crossed the Pacific to help squeeze more out of it. It passed 120,000 views in its first day.

The comments read like a parts list. Viewers single out the intake manifold, a fuel pump setup that one compares to a spaceship's passenger seat, and a nest of wiring that has people joking about a Back to the Future Doc shirt. The most liked comment ties the giant 3D printer and all that rotary know-how together and proposes a new name: Mazda Furai, after the company's wild 2008 rotary concept. Others note that he seems to have worked through the night because he was excited, not because a video was due. A few experienced viewers chime in with practical notes on oil filter bypass valves and the ZF eight-speed gearbox in the car.

The build's recent chapters are still drawing views too, slowly: a two-week-old attempt to print a whole fender in a day, and the start of the carbon fiber body a month ago. Both are near 300,000.

Among the car channels around his size, the bigger weeks belong to others: Exotic Rubber and Junkyard Digs drew far more, while Gears and Gasoline ran well below its usual pace. For Rob Dahm, one video was enough to put a lot of new eyes on the four-rotor build.
