After a year of using this DIY built rig, we are still happy. But our steering wheel is no where close to real drifting. If anyone has recommendations on budget VR racing steering wheels PLEASE let us know 🙌
If you want real feedback try fanatec, moza etc. Both pedals and wheel/ base in asetto corsa.
@@torentmonkey I’ve heard fanatec is pretty good. Prices are much better since we first bought the Logitech many years ago. THANKS 👍
This is a super simple build. All the parts we used are in the video description. Total cost for part minus your seat cost will be less than $50. Have fun 👍👍👍
Pro tip, if you get it out of a scrap yard, bring a 20v cordless battery with you and some extra wiring, find the +/- on the battery and hook it up to the +/- on the wiring harness under the seat (probably have to cut into it) so you can move the seat to get to the rails.
LOVE IT!!! Wonder how much nice seats usually go for at the scrap yard 🤔
I got a pretty nice 330 power seat yesterday for less than $100 at pick n pull. The prices there are standard, doesn't matter which brand, but just priced based on manual, power, or power with airbags. There are usually plenty of power seats available because most people probably don't know how to get them out without power to the car. @@Itsallaboutthebuild
how do you find the +/- on a 2016 ford fusion titanium seat?
Just got some mk5 golf seats for free with all the manual adjustments! Looking to build it into a rig
@@Mafuyu.fridge nice!!! You play Assetto Corsa or something else???
I am going to try and recreate this exact rig. Never built anything before with wood so wish me luck haha
It’s super easy. You should have no issues 🙌🙌🙌
How did it go?
Your shoes made me sub. Those are my absolute favorite pair of Jordans down to the color way.
Nice!!! These were the ones I always wanted back in grade school. My wife got them for me as a gift. You have great taste my friend. Thanks for the sub, do you drift???

@@Itsallaboutthebuild I am actually learning! got my first wheel about a month ago.
@@DopeLordeGames nice!!! Which wheel did you get? Looking to upgrade 🤔
@@Itsallaboutthebuild I got the Fanatec cls dd 8nm wheel. moss everything else (pedals, shifter, e-break)
Why always guys with G29 build a wood sim rig 😄
Scrap wood is all we can afford to build with 🤣🤣🤣
@@ItsallaboutthebuildI have a T300 and I am also building from wood
@@alegries_ awesome, would love to try different material.
No daddy’s money
@@Ooh_Thats_Daqqq daddy’s money???
I got mine from a Ford Focus. Sporty, look great and are manual recline and manual slider.
I’m probably purchasing a Sim Lab P1-X Pro with a triple screen. Have to figure out how to mount it. Also have an older Playseat with Gran Turismo 5 logos on it, was a collab between them I guess. Debating if I sell it or put the second seat on it (original seat is tiny for me at six two and 300 lbs). If I put the second Focus seat on it I can get a cheaper wheel and use that for Forza.
Nice!!! The triple screen would be awesome. We definitely would like a wheel upgrade, the Logitech doesn’t feel as natural for drifting 👍
I recognize an E46 seat instantly 😉 have been thinking about finding a seat with ventilation in it 😬
Yeah, e46. Ventilation seat, now that would be awesome 🙌
I like the converter trick, will try to do it too but i sucks with electronics
It’s not too bad, just give it a try. 👍
@@Itsallaboutthebuild how did you find the main + and - supply? Where is it?
@@lafaina79 if you follow the motor wires you should end up finding a larger set of wires for the main power feed 👍
Awesome video
Thanks 👍
This is awesome. I have an electric saab seat. If I have a car battery, is it possiblento hook it up to that instead of using a converter? Is it just a matter of connection for power wires directly to the battery? Or is that considered unsafe? Sorry for so many questions...haha
Thanks and no prob on questions. Car battery inside the house would probably be overkill and you’d need to charge it eventually. So buying the 12v adapter may be best way to go 👍 Have fun 🙌
Hey I’m doing this with a seat from a Mercedes w212 and I just have one question, why did you choose to go with a power supply with 10A? What influences that? I already tested mine with one similar to yours just not sure if it is too much or too little
The multiple seat motos are heavy duty and their specs called for higher 12v amperage than a power supply that usually charges say a small electronic device.
@@Itsallaboutthebuild so why not go with a higher amperage? Should I go with the 12v 10a as well?
Thank you for the reply!
@@JottaaHD your seat motor may not be able to function if you don’t have enough amps to power the electric motor. You may be able to check for a label on your seat motor that you can look up online to see how many amps are required. It doesn’t hurt having a power supply with extra amps.
Hey dude! Just did this same thing on my e46 seat with my sim set up. So I kept the button for the heated seats. Think you could do a video or something on how to make the heating function work?
Nice, it’s lots of fun 👍👍👍 Unfortunately my model didn’t come with the heated seats, so not sure how to get that going 😩😩😩
As long as its 12v dc it should move a car seat im trying to upgrade my wood rig from a jegs plastic seat
Most of all the electronics for seats are 12v DC to my knowledge
AWSOME HOPE I FIND ONE CHEAP IF NOT GOT MY EYE ON SOME MANUAL NON POWER SEAT LOL @@Itsallaboutthebuild
@@BOZOH379 manual seats with no power will be much lighter 👍
love the video! i found a really cool sports car seat that feels amazing, the only issue is my slider rails below the seat have 45 degree angles on the back. do you have any tips for mounting seat slider rails to a flat surface when the rail is 45 degrees? thanks!
Thanks for watching. You may be able to cut some 2x4 at 45 degrees to mount your 45 degree seat angle to. 👍
If you use a cheap metal 90 degree angle bracket, you can make that a vertical mount surface. You just need to turn it sideways.
@@Specter0420 like the way you think 🫡
@@Itsallaboutthebuild thank you for the reply. so would the custom 45 degree 2x4 wood be then mounted to the chasis mount?
@@TreeFPV sure or you could go with the cheap metal idea from @specter0420
i have a basic car chair in my rig but want to add a heated seat, do you know how to sort the wiring for that?
Are you somewhere in the cold north 😀You’ll want to see if you can find a wiring diagram for your seat and check how much amperage your heater is. That way you get a power supply that can supply enough wattage for the heated seat.
il use a pc psu so wattage will be fine, its the wiring i need, i have a scrap mx5 so i have the seats and the temp control too
@@Itsallaboutthebuild
@@Scoobydcs using PSU power is an awesome idea. Have fun!!!
will a 10v 1a power supply work?
Not sure, we just stick with 12v because that’s what the car voltage provides. Might work, but motor may go quite a bit slower 🤔🤔🤔
Do you need the power to move the seat back and forth?
Yes, as the seat doesn’t have manual adjustments
awesome simple set up, now about you getting 15 fps on assetto??!!??
🤣🤣🤣, need a PC upgrade
@@Itsallaboutthebuild 👍 cheers mate
