Built this out of steel which I welded I fabricated a firbre glass shifter mount and an 18mm ply floor and steering shelf it runs 4 subs one behi d seat in box one in seat back one under pedal plate and one in floor it took 70 hours to build

Sorry my sig is massive I am on my iPhone I will sort it when I get home

So jealous it hurts. I've been cruising ebay looking for a deal on fanatec gear lately, but so far I haven't pulled the trigger on anything. I'm still just using a controller but...but...I'm up against stuff like this? Dude.

How do you get out of it when you're unjustifiably drunk?

Lol thanks man I take it as compliment I live for my racing so I could justify the build cost and I fabricate for living so guess the labour just cost me my time I absolutely love my csr gear it's truly heads and shoulders above Xbox racing wheel which I had before...as for the drunk part you should never ever drink and drive! ) build cost around £300 plus 30 hours of my time

NICE!!!... I love the layout! Have you thought about putting casters on it? This way it's easier to move around and wont move when you play! They actually make a cam system with casters for table saws and other heavy tools... I'll see if I can find a link for you...

I will building one in the Spring.... There is a "Pick-a-part" here, so I know where I will be getting the seat... I already have the Fanatec (love it), with the shifters... I have a 32" LCD, but it's on the fritz... It's actually a known issue with the Samsung model LCD we have... If I can get it working or just get a new one, I'll start my build!

So as a fabricator, you charge 100/ hr? So 3300 total?

Nice job by the way. Need a bigger tv though. Need the Sharp 80" for "total immersion".

There's another $3300 for the TV.... LOL.... a 46" will do...

sweet setup del, it looks amazing!

For him, it's only another 300 since he got the rig for "free".

£45 so about $80... I agree about tv it has a 22 at the moment which surprisingly isn't too bad but I built with a 28 in mind but.......it will be 3 x 28 inch screens if you know what I mean

3x 80" tv's?

Good god man! You truly are AWESOME!

Thanks man 3x28 inch screens will make the rig pretty big! 80 inch screens would be insanity...does make me think tho....wheres that grinder...

3x80? Why not just do 3x LCD or LED projectors so the screens are seamless... That's what I'd do! I may even use a projector for my rig... Size all depends on distance!

It's gonna have 3x28 inch screens I am happy with that I will find ones with the smallest bezel

is that seat out of an rx8 by any chance??

Correct...good spot

The 22 that's on it ain't bad at all it's 3 feet from my face so it's pretty good size ...in reference it's the same as being 12 feet from a 65 inch screen which is in my front room

3x28's will be an awesome rig....you guys makin me doubt my decision now!

3x28" LCD's will be perfect at that distance.... We're just having fun, and, to be honest, we're all jealous!!

GREAT WORK!!

Lol I wasn't meaning to sound like I was stamping my feet I just thought 3x28s would be cool then someone suggested 80 inch then projector for me seams and it all gets me thinking I am terrible for making a decision! I gonna stick to my guns this time...thanks for the message biglou I love this club

Is that a Ford Escort Cosworth? I am upset that Ford never brought the Cosworth versions of their cars here to the states... We get the SVT versions (and the SHO), but nothing as special as the Cosworth editions!
