DIY Race Simulator Project

having just bought Logitec G25 to our PS3 set, myself and SimonXXX Franz decided to start building a race simulator seat as in the picture below



we have already got the seat from a Mazda Miata

i am now working on the steel structure which is gonna be fully hand built by myself and my welder in my construction site :D:D:D

will let you guys know about the progress later ;)

keep watching the thread...

Hey wait a sec, i was looking forward to this but due to the high prices charged by the shops here i ignored getting into this subject.. Can you tell me how much would it cost to built the steel structure ? I might be interested and you can make two.. Not for free ofcourse :)

Me too man that looks a great idea.

well actually steel is too cumbersome

it will weight like an alephant does so...

i am checking the aluminium and other materials, and also suitable welding electrodes...

just started bro, don't worry i will let u know

that is why i opened this thread ;)

Sounds good. Can t wait to see it once over.

I have designed one of these frames but never gotten around to building it....I remember paying AED1,200 for 50 kilos of 1018 steel for our FSAE chassis (I think, it's been some years now). I did the welding with my team. Get the bending done at a mill and weld it yourself, twice the fun and quarter the cost ;)

Hasan... we need to sit and talk soon !!! ;)

[Simon Motorsport]

Yeah we really do need a proper seat! I mean, you can get those seat cheap in the states but the shipping will be a problem :(

Man cant wait till its finished :)

[M_Powerholic]

WE NEED TO TALK !! :D

hollow stainless steel like the ones used in handrials shouldn't be heavy and can do the job, about the seat, a replica seat should b a better idea, u donot need a FIA certified one, just a bucket seat, replica seats are available here and for low prices

[M_Powerholic]

Replica is not good for such project trust me !! :(

yalla call me habibi
