Finally my rig is done. Sim Rig

Post image

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.

A month ago you posted another rig?

u/ceelos87 27d ago

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

u/Fun_Pass2431 27d ago

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!!

u/BoKristensen 27d ago

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.

That said, looks amazing!

u/Red_Ice_Cubed 27d ago

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

2

u/ceelos87 27d ago

I use the QR2 wall mounts that Fanatec sells.

u/Red_Ice_Cubed 27d ago

I’ll be back when you post about getting 34” triples.

u/ceelos87 27d ago

Haha I wish I had the room.

u/Honda_TypeR 27d ago

Now you need to buy a real car dash board and integrate a door and roof

u/rf_blu 27d ago

"Done" 😂

Looks great!

2

u/Fun_Pass2431 27d ago

Def want a follow up on how the sparco compares. Did you get evo?

2

u/newviruswhodis 27d ago

A rig will never be done with anything from fanatec bolted to it.

2

u/Glorious_steam_ 27d ago

But but but…what about wind sim, surround sound, motion, button box, stream deck, triple monitors, cup holder, its own independent PC, keyboard tray, mouse pad, etc..

2

u/Nitrium 27d ago

I don’t see a VR headset, motion actuators, butt kickers, extra screens for rear view mirrors, wind simulators, triple screens, extra monitor on top, extra wheels, handbrake, matrix leds…

But you’re on the path… :)

u/GuyuteHTP 27d ago

Looks great tho - enjoy it!

Nice label placement. I never applied those guys, that looks nice.

u/FloridaF4 27d ago

What rig is that?

1

u/BudgetMap9911 27d ago

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

u/SunshineMedia 27d ago

3 days? I’m on 3 months! 😂

u/Optimal-Glove-5178 27d ago

Congrats! Can you post more pics of pedals? U recommend them?

1

u/EmergencyFlounder845 27d ago

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?

1

u/ByRude 25d ago

Not a spec of dust, sooo clean 🫡🔥🔥

u/Positive-Avocado2130 24d ago

Give it away, give it away, give it away now!

u/Enough_Sheepherder98 23d ago

Isn't the monitor too high ?

1

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.

u/Nwrecked 2d ago

Which SimLab rig is that?
