We decide to build a sim rig and this is the result. It took around 5 days but we only worked on it in the afternoons

If you are thinking of buying a rig and dont have the money think about building your own. It takes some looking into and you need to adjust depending on your needs.

Regrets or things i would do different.
1. I should of bought a better seat. I might change it in the future as it was a cheap one and not so comfortable. The first rig we build was with a normal car seat. More comfortable but not the same feeling.
2. Rails on the pedals. This will help you move the back and forth.
3. The bracket on the steering wheel is not the best and I am looking to get someone that knows metal work to make me one.

In general the rig is very stable and the wheels make you move it around if needed. I wasn't too sure about the wheel but in the end it was a must.

If you need any clarifications get in contact with me and we can Skype and I can walk you through it.

Go Pro crashed for some reason and we didn't get it all. That's Go Pro for you
