RSeat North America has sent me a $100.00 discount code because of my RS1 purchase.

I am very satisfied with the rig. if anyone has serious interest PM me and you can use the code for a hundred dollar discount.

Shitty pic of new rig

Very confidence inspiring when needing to saw at the wheel. Has dramatically improved my drifting abilities.

C'mon now even I wouldn't say that and I made it.  But thanks for the kind and positive words.

Like your chassis there Dude but I don't think I ever realized it was wheeled.

Based on the thumbnail, I'm not sure how you stay in the seat. Tight belts?  Pretty realistic in rollovers though ^-^

Adrian Newey Special. It's glued.

Also, why is that thumbnail upside down?

Y'all have some nice stands.

I have decided to forgo the controller and get myself a wheel (Thrustmaster) and build a stand. I am making it to also hold a 32" flat screen.

Looking at y'alls and some on YouTube I have an idea of what I want, but is their anything I need to know before I build one?

PVC or Wood?

I am a big guy (6' 2" 320 lbs) so I need to build one to withstand my big ass.   :laugh

Good for you, you'll really enjoy it.

There are lots of DIY rigs: I know some here have plans for PVC setups.

Some listed at the planet.

This one is incredible: http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/yegors-sim-rig-ysr-from-start-to-finish.259376/

If I were you I would likely go PVC probably 2". If you want any ideas or want someone to bounce ideas off of there are a few of us who have crafted our own chassis' that would be willing to share info. Just holler or if you want I will do a basic break down of mine to give ya some food for thought. Just let me know, don't want to go running off if you already have something in mind.

I wish I could help ya Trendy.   My skills at handiwork are pathetic.  I bought an Obutto cockpit.

Back a few pages, Baked has pictures of his rig that he made out of PVC.  It looks nice and stout.  Hit those guys up for there ideas. I don't know what the materials will cost.  It's gotta be cheaper than buying premade.  My Cost $300 5 years ago.

Best of luck to you sir.  Also, you will not regret getting a wheel!  It will take an adjustment period, but in the end you will be sooooooo much happier!
