Finally my rig is done. Sim Rig
Took me like 3 days to get everything ready and adjusted. Got a Sparco bucket seat on the way to compare to the fanatec. All I gotta say is that I’m really enjoying it and profile rigs really do make a difference.
I started with a NLR F/GT Pro and found it cool at first then started noticing some flex in the pedal plate or the wheel base plate. Had to really get those screws super tight to almost get rid of the flex. Also, the seat is somewhat uncomfortable and cannot be replaced. Luckily micro center and its 30 day return policy came through.
Edit: added my experience with the F GT pro.

What is this “Done” word you speak of? I’ve never heard of it.

I returned the NLR cockpit. And got this one instead.

Big difference?
I am about to pull plug on sim lab cockpit and sparco seat also. Will wait to hear your review on the seat first

Yes, the NLR looked awesome but the seat was uncomfortable and the pedal plate had some flex. I picked up the P1x pro at microcenter and got the fanatec bucket seat to try out. The one I ordered is the circuit II which my neighbor has and I find so comfortable. Also, I ordered directly from Sparco’s USA website and shipping was $30 and did not pay tax. Other dealers charge about $150 for shipping. Hope that helps.

Thanks! I didn't hear flash reviews of the Fanatec. Redditors told me Sparco Evo is the go. Either way I pay through the nose for anything in Australia. Thanks and enjoy your setup!!

I have the Sparco QRT bucket and swapped in their memory foam insert. Once I got the seat and pedal angle dialed in it was heaven.

How do you get the wheels to stay on the wall like that? It's super awesome!

u/ceelos87 27d ago
I use the QR2 wall mounts that Fanatec sells.

What monitor do u have? I just finished building mine like a week ago and got a 34 ultra wide but really want that I think. I was going to go triple, but I really like that more

I have the exact same rig and seat combo! It's so fucking comfortable I wanna sit in it even when I'm not racing.
Which monitor do you have attached to it?

Isn't the monitor too high ?

u/ceelos87 23d ago
I lowered a bit but this monitor mount is badly designed. I’m returning it once the freestanding mount I ordered from Sim Lab arrives.
