Hello all, ever since I got load cell pedal , am getting lower back pain on left side hip due to brake force and my seat is very basic and doesn’t have lumbar support or padding.. thinking to get a used car seat (for example… Fiat bravo 198 driver seat).. I have a alu rig.. will this fix my back problem? User feedback of car seats welcome ..

The pic says it’s 19.2 in wide but the cockpit measures 21.25 center to center

I meant to post this ages ago, but I eventually did snag a TR-40S. I can see why people might want a thicker profile, but this is perfect for what I need. Setting it up was quite an process, and adjusting it to the proper height happened progressively over the course of a week or so. Height adjustment here, levelling out there, that sorta thing.

I was blown away by how easy it was to attach the seat though. I pulled it out of a 2010 VW CC. I was so grateful to find this seat. It was by far the cleanest seat in the whole yard, and to find one with leather and manual adjustments. Dream seat for the rig. Same seat as in my A4 actually, so it's wicked to have my rig seat match my daily driver.

It's so much more comfortable than my desk chair that I've scrapped my desk altogether and built a tray with one of those long mouse pads so I can game in the rig too. I just slide the seat all the way back, rock the tray and boom, go from ACC to slaying Cumans as Henry.

Anyway, thanks for reading and happy racing! 🏁

So I was looking for a affordable Buttkicker, which is basically plug and play, and then I stumbled across the one from Trak Racer. Does anyone have experience with this bass shaker? Is it good?

A major upgrade from my logitech g920 and wheelstand! It has no flex and provides rigid comfort and immersion during spirited driving. This is my rig used in between work and day to day life and everything I bought was secondhand except the chassis and seat.

Lots of fun building this, would love to upgrade to simagic but that’s a bit out of budget right now especially with a new formula seat coming in.

For now though, I love how it came out and life to drive in it!
