Well this is my stand that I use almost every day

Build Starts with 1.5" ABS piping. Beginning with bottom frame.

Wood base goes on.

Car seat is now addded. (In this case out of a Mazda 3 :lol:

)

Wheel stand is now added.

Wheel stand mounts added for rigidity.

Almost finished.

Finished Product.

with all due respect, it is extremely annoying to try and even look at your rig. it would be kind if you could correct the pictures orientations.

yeah man, if you have everything ready when you start (right amount of piping, all the right connectors etc.) you can do it in a day.

It took me a few days because I wasn't very organised, but it works well!

I hope it's ok to post this here but for those looking to build with pvc some of the fittings made by this company may come in handy. http://www.formufit.com/

I'm probably going to make a wood stand however there may be a way to make adjustments with a pvc stand using these slip sling tees. http://www.formufit.com/pvc-slip-sling-tees/

Thanks for the suggestions!

Substance over style

For some reason, I can see the pedals being inverted the way the abs piping is set up... in my opinion though.

I've thought of it... Might do it some time..
I would add stiffer springs if that were the case 👍

Good close and clean racing the other day, enjoyed.

Nice stand. Any chance as we discussed to adding some measurements along with a diagram? I feel with measurements some racers will jump at the chance for this weekend project.

Mhmm, I don't know if I can, I'll look into it, but I made it blind

Not to be a bore, but...

You will not use “textspeak” (“r”, “u”, “plz”, etc.) in your messages. Decent grammar is expected at all times, including proper usage of capital letters.
