Nothing special, but does the job well.

Hope to go for the G25 soon.

It's situated in out house so gets a little cold in there during the winter.

The seat and its base were originally used with a desk, but when my son was born my little girl got the spare room and my pc had to go outside. So I decided to build the rest of the rig. It runs the full width of the out building and has a sub inside one of the side panels so vibrates well.

There's a cut out to the left for the FFB gearshift I started, but never finished.

Looks good Phil!

Hi guys!!!
I really don't have a cockpit (YET!!!!!!), but here's my project for the next months... I just need to get the money to do it!!!

 

[Abdul Al-Amry]

That wheel aint a G25.

 

[Aritan Maia]

Yes it is! But photoshoped so the three buttons are a bit prettier. But I only would like to show you what I'm planning on doing on my G25: to add 6 buttons on it's own structure...

 

[Abdul Al-Amry]

Here is an idea, to be safe with cables, can the buttons be wireless connected to a wireless receiver which in turn is connected to the pc?

 

[Aritan Maia]

Sure!!!
You can either use your cell phone's bluetooth to do it!!! You just need to know how to do it, but since I'm an eletronics engineer, that's what I do. But I think I'm gonna go fot the buttons with cables. Easier, cheaper ans faster!

Nice G-clamp ... was it free with the wheel or did you have to pay extra for it Jamie ound:

 

[Jamie Wilson]

Came with it actually, sort of (that and the little 'table' thing it's on is a cheap addon, temporary until Cockpit 2.0); very solid indeed.

This is VERY specialized gear and shouldn't be taken lightly but can easily be adapted to suite your needs (orders taken) :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

In anycase a bit more about the gear... It is state of the art technology never to be seen again. :wink2:
----------------------------------------------------
Picture 1:
Shows the ultra modern next gen type of racing seat. The seat itself is actually a prototype which is not yet available in the shops. To the left you will see a Danby box. Well that is a cpu cooler box in disguise.

The TV is the newest, latest and greatest slimline LCD on the market from a company called "CrapTech" you guys should really try it. The TV is SUPER SlimLine!!!

PS) You might notice the light to the right of the SlimLine TV (on top of the dashboard). That is a streetlight which goes on and off when you drive to give you the feel of night racing. I yet have to try sprinklers for wet races, oops :lol:

Picture 2:
Well yes, how can we forget about the spectators/backseat passengers and their entertainment or in this case the co-driver chill out zone. The couch (backseat) is not only a very desirable British Racing Green but also the most comfortable on this planet.

Because the stereo was stolen from my racing car the guitar is there to provide the right acoustics and also serve as entertainment for nervous passengers. TBH the back of the guitar also serves as rumble strip sound effect.

Cables on the floorboard, well well...no installation would be complete without a obstacle or or two, now would it :rotfl::rotfl:

Greetings from the west coast, US. Just found this site and really enjoyed viewing other people's builds. So, I thought I'd share pictures of my sim racer made out of 2" PVC pipes, MDF wood, a salvaged seat from a junk yard and some paint. The steering outfit is of course Logitech's G25. Temporarily using a 46" LCD but working on a 'man cave' in the garage where I will set up my DIY 720p LCD projector and 120" screen.

Regards

How stable is that rig? The Playseats look really wobbly. Do you have any plans for that?
