Best DIY Sim Racing Rig For Under $35! (Budget Build w/ Plans)

Building my DIY budget Sim Racing Rig. In this video I use wood to create a fully functional budget friendly sim racing cockpit. You can get all the supplies from you local hardware store for less than $35! ADDITIONAL BUILD INFORMATION BELOW!!
DIY Blueprint (Download):
drive.google.c...
Uprights are cut at a 25 degree angle on top.
On the top 1x8, the 2x2's run across the width to give support.
The 2x2 on the shifter arm is cut at a 45 degree angle on both sides and provides support to the bottom of the arm.
A 2x6 was used underneath the chair for support however depending on what chair you're using your mount may be different. For example for a real car seat you may be able to mount the rails directly on the base.
▶Most commonly asked question is where to get the chair. I strongly suggest looking at your local Goodwill or thrift store. However, here is a similar chair to mine you can get on Amazon.

[@Voltmander]

it's cool to see what the simulator community can do with a couple of 2x4's screws and a idea

[@balcis]

give them a nagging wife and they can also built in less than one day, less than 50 bucks and on wheels that can be carried away or tucked in or folded in less than 10 seconds. I know by myself.

[@soufsydemcqn2072]

I just BUILT MINE YESTERDAY. no knowledge on nothing. The only help? YOU MY GUY. THANK YOU.

[@mick7310]

Finally someone that give all the specs thanks you . Nice job

[@sixx1095]

I know! Even though the specs are different from everyone. That's awesome.

[@Skippy-id9yt]

If your handy with tools and making things , google Diy sim rigs (pictures) you'll find heaps of inspiration , as for measurements that's trial and error ...Just doing things in pairs helps...and plenty of timber 👍

[@franfb7934]

So much value in a 4 minute video.

[@williamsaloka9043]

Got mine together over the course of a few days. Had to tinker with the pedal-position for comfort. Awesome way to race!

[@bmlaforge]

Any side to side wiggle/play?

[@mattdemon6520]

Hey bro thanks for these tips. I showed this to my dad and he altered your original plans... tiny tiny bit. But it was so much fun. Thanks brother! ❤ love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

[@RealExpiredMilk]

That’s awesome! Feel free to post you build in the discord 🔥

[@uncharteddama9861]

Thanks to you my brother I'm ganna wake up and safe my self £400 omega rig and go get some wood and build it just like you it's looks amazing and simple good work lad 👏

[@rabbaj]

Thank you, sir! Materials list was on point. Son and I built this and pretty much used everything. Build was about $96 because we got a real car seat from a junkyard! 😅

[@108Hawke]

Great video. Literally watched this 2 hours ago and built one already. Thanks!!

[@LongitivityHD]

Bro this is actually sick, considering some frames are like $600+ I've got a spare bucket seat at home I'm going to build a frame with it thank you for sharing how you did it

[@RealExpiredMilk]

Bucket seat will go hard 💪🏻🔥

[@aidenr5380]

I finished it late last night, built it in my garage so I had to carry it to the main floor and then back down to the basement. It was such a pain, but building it was so awesome! Thanks again!

[@RealExpiredMilk]

💪🏻🔥

[@edteach3r]

Awesome job! Thanks also particularly for the list of materials and plans … it made it possible for me to build my own EM rig as well. Liked and subscribed.

Worked awesome me and my dad finish the project today and it’s so much fun😅

[@driftindude1347]

Pretty awesome to have someone actually show you how they built their setup. That's a nice car in the background, I'm guessing, but is it a Corvette?

I'mma build this when I get a job and can afford the materials

[@Verklunkenzwiebel]

As for the seat.. go to a car junkyard and buy a seat & the rails it is mounted on. If you do, then use the bottom beams at 1.5 the given length to allow sliding your seat.

[@giodude111]

Just put this together. Awesome spec sheet. Works great so far!

[@kazimcanbas9187]

What wheel you driving? Is it sustainable with an direct-drive?

[@giodude111]

@@kazimcanbas9187 I’m using a g290. But, it is very solid. With room to improve rigidity easily if needed. You would have no issue.

[@Chris-wq3pe]

thanks for the video, and going the extra mile, and supplying a pdf download as that's super helpful. I've had a hyperdrive then a playseat, but have not sim raced for about 5 years, going to use your build as a starting point to get back into it. Cheers from the southeast coast of Australia!

[@NotKshordy]

I’m trying to build a setup personalized for my trucker setup. This gave me ideas. Thanks

[@SirAyala]

Ufff finally someone with blueprints and good instructions! Thx dude

[@wesleydelamerced6528]

Yo that is doooope! I’m planning on building something like this for GT when it comes out next year (2022). I want to try to make the seat an adjustable slider and also the foot pedals cuz I know my kids are gonna wanna play GT. Awesome freakin build man 🤘

[@Lil_Mood_]

If not too late; get an actual car seat from a scrapyard, you'll not have issues with adjusting it 👍🏼 Aim for a Bentley Continental GT seat 😜

Thanks for the video, i was going to purchase a stand. But, with times being a little harder this looks like a great option to get the job done.

Just found a leather racing car in a junkyard for 30$ almost brand new, will surely make something like this

[@mandopepo]

Nice wheels! a Classic!

[@sixx1095]

It's genius to cut open the bottom of the chair. It was bothering me so long if I can buy a used gaming chair on how to use it. So I have been searching for a driver seat that it's hard to find a good and cheap ones.

[@RealExpiredMilk]

If you have a thrift store near you try looking there. Got this chair for $4 🔥

[@4touchdowns1game29]

Next time if you want to have an easier time making it square and make it a little stronger. Have the front and back horizontal boards sit sideways in between the length of the two long boards. Then put a 90° triangle piece in every corner and then screw it tight. The force of the drill we'll pull the sides into the middle piece you create and make a perfect square and it will add a lot more strength.

[@NerdyCats3]

thank you for sharing..i need my seat to adjust is only extra mod for me. looks great.

Cool build, do you know roughly what angle you cut the top of the supports on either side of your rig for the wheel?

25 degrees

[@Drew.DrivesYT]

Just got outta the garage from building this thing, nice plans. I didn't do the shifter portion or the diagonal supports but it's still very sturdy. I ripped the passenger seat out of my Honda for the chair cuz racecar. Had to cut some additional pieces to accommodate, but now I have a fully adjustable seat. Total cost for the build? *$0.*

Im not carpenter nor a woodworker *this is both a question and a statement* but wouldnt putting a wood piece under your legs across the 2 posts and then another piece behind the wheel across the diagonal posts increase structural rigitidy?

Probably, although I’ve found it’s held up pretty well. At least with the Logitech wheel.
