How to make a Sim Racing Rig for Under $75

[@Lizard-of-Oz]

Respect! All I have say! I was fortunate to found a relative cheap set for 200, which I saw in Amazon for over 400 US dollars. Believe it or not, I even used, in the past, a sewing machine. I used to flip the wood cover, set wheel on top, grab a chair, set the pedal on the carpet. The sewing machine was heavy enough to keep steady. It was perfect

[@BuddyArea-]

Bro literally made a gaming setup under 500$ that cost 5000$

[@SimRacingSucks]

Yupppp!!

[@daviddempsey2546]

You can literally buy good setup for 500 without wheel and pedals

[@UnkindPort84663]

@@daviddempsey2546 You can build this for 35 without wheel and pedals, meaning you have 465 of that left over to help buy the wheel and pedals.

[@daviddempsey2546]

@@UnkindPort84663 if your buying wood from the store your looking at like 150 worth of wood right there not no 35. And if you get a proper setup for 500 you get all the mounting points for add ons and a TV stand connected. If your planning on actually sim racing I definitely worth the investment

[@mech0p]

@@daviddempsey2546 definitely not 150 but not 35 either. Also sometimes you can get lucky and get some free scrap stuff or even stuff that is bowed "which doesnt really matter here as you can cut the bow out" if you ask them which can bring the cost down.

[@locksmith9580]

My friend invited me to his house once to try his sim setup. It was similar to this and he had spray painted it black. He made it from the 2x4 pieces from those crates they use to ship things. We work at a body shop and sometimes big parts come in these wooden crates. He had been saving piece to build his rig. I thought he had bought it. I’ve been wanting to build something similar and this is the best diy vid I’ve soon. Thanks for uploading and sharing. Will follow ur plans to build my rig

[@fridgestealer2119]

How did it go?

[@BargoTheBandit]

I did a similar thing. I bought a seat (Fiat 500) out of a junk yard for $35. I painted mine. Total was $103.

[@Burnnskii_Gaming]

Did this as well, used some heavy duty 2x6's and the thing is absolutely rock solid. Anyone on a budget debating if this is worth doing, if you can use a saw and read a tape measure. DO IT, absolutely worth it.

[@RekzysTheTitan]

I'm just getting into my racing SIM phase. Going for the G29 in a few weeks. Super hyped

[@Beanie-Sandals]

How's it going? I've had mine for a month

[@muidh]

I bough my g29 last week i got the full bundle with the shifter its good so far i spent the first 2 days messing with the settings and finding what im comfortable with i tested different games like assetto, forza, carx, city car sim, but assetto is definitely the best game so far, problem i had was the wheel being too stiff i had to play around ingame settings tuning the ffb had to use a lut file, btw the wheel is loud especially in forza horizon 5 if you want a quiter one i think a belt based wheel is better. but its fun you wont regret it

[@muidh]

Hope this little comment help :D

[@gusostby4554]

I’ll give you a piece of advice that I wish I had taken back when I first got into sim racing - if you really like the G29 and want an upgrade, do it right. Set a budget and start putting aside money each month to save up for it, and then go all in. I went from a G29 to a Thrustmaster base to a used CSL elite and finally to a full Moza setup. I made some money back reselling the old products, but I would have saved so much if I had just got the Moza stuff all at once. Sim racing is an amazing hobby, and if you have a lot of fun and want to invest in a better experience, don’t just go for the cheap option, treat yourself 🤝

[@aleksandergjengst782]

That seat actually looks lit 🔥🔥

[@NCLme]

I made mine from scrap wood from work 😊 and using a small table looks similar to what you did, but I didn’t go through all that other stuff. I just made it secure wooden box as the base which was already made for me because like I said, got it from work. Everything I got from work made sense since I work in a place where many items come in and go now if I can get the seat like you did I’ll be awesome right now I’m using a foot rest 😅😅😅 but it works lol anyways mine is what I call the ghetto Sim setUP 😆😜👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@marcushillerstrom25]

As far as wood rigs go, that is a very clean and nice design. Some filler and paint and it would really look professional. I would go to a scrap yard and buy a real car seat, then you get adjustments also. But very nice, good job!

[@randomgamer5783]

Thats peetty sweet, only thing id change is that seat, it doesnt look like it has much lumbar and you can go to any random junkyard and get a real car seat that would have been burned anyway

[@chaseatherton752]

Thanks for the cool idea, me and my dad are making one with a couple modifications so it can be even better!

[@bajeebus-j2p]

Some changes: junk yard seat, and use the slider underneath so your friends can get their seat right when they play Shifter and handbrake setup together. Or sequential and handbrake with h shifter back. And personally for me I really like to switch left and right so I would use clamps so that I can move them whenever Could get triple screens with the common not too expensive triple mount stand right behind the wheel Good stuff

[@FN0844]

9/10 good. Wheel platform did shake a lot from shifter. Other than that, it was fine.

[@Michaeltowell3]

Great job! I'm literally going to build all of this! The frame, pedal inversion, and the e brake!

[@laptop6902]

Bro this is genius thanks for the inspiration, gonna do this myself soon ❤

[@emmanueldenniss]

I used to work as a mechanic so I took home real car seat which could be adjusted like in a real car height and everything, then I also connected a real handbrake to my g27 at the time . I used to love it and played a lot. I also waned to put a real steering wheel but was too much work so I gave up
