Me and my buddy have been putting together a sim racing rig, we have been splitting the cost on stuff, and I have been doing all the fabricating (lol making it up as I go)
We got a great deal on a Fanatec wheel base, wheel, pedal set on Black Friday online.
I had an old Go Kart chassis laying around, so it's only natural to combine them.
I went back to the stock seat in my mustang, so I had the Sparco seat just sitting, threw that in there as well.
I mounted the pedals inverted for better feel.
My other good friend scored me a free 48" monitor to use.
Had a buddy give me a small roll of black automotive carpet that I put on the floor.
I ended up buying a cheap RCA 5.1 surround sound to mount in the rig. It has a sub, but it's terrible.
Scored a free bazooka tube powered sub, I will be installing that behind the driver seat.
Using an Xbox one for the gaming platform.
There are some other things I want to do to the rig still, to make it more finished, tuck all wires, clean everything up, paint, etc.
We picked up a Thrustmaster TH8a shifter today on sale, and will be ordering the adapter to make it work with the Fanatec wheel base, and order the Fanatec load cell add on pedal.
A handbrake will be in the future as well.
It's a blast to use as it sits now, but it will get better.
