Hey mate does that mean your back for round 2 it would be good to have some originals back. Things will kick off soon as we start getting some regular rooms up again.

@Stavingo Internet is up and running again might be on for a quick slide tonight but definitely going to have a good one on friday and Saturday night:tup:

Don't worry dude we all had the same growing pains, it's a lot tougher but it's as sure as hell more rewarding when you nail it, for me at least

 

[DrifTa-AJV]

Jumping on for a drift tonight 👍

 

[Stavingo]

Sorry I couldn't make it man I took the missus out for dinner on valentines day

No probs mate I figured you would be doing something like that I had to wheel and deal with mine to play

 

[TH137Z]

I just wait till mines asleep.

 

[DrifTa-AJV]

I've been putting my creativity to the test this weekend continued working on the drift rig almost done now just gotta start glueing and bolting just about to start the hand brake mod and I'm scared silly about frying the circuit board when soldering I'm hopeless at it will post some pics soon

 

[Stavingo]

Good luck with it man 👍

Its east as to do, just make sure its the correct terminals. If your worried about cooking the circuit board, get a smaller soldering iron. I went out and bought a brand new 1 just so I could do mine.

 

[DrifTa-AJV]

had a good day in the garage



Chair base frame



Chair and frame all mounted together with hand brake



hand brake assembly

Soldered the circuit board for the hand brake and freaked out I plug it all in and my wheel wouldn't work had to pull it apart a few times and managed to get it all working again with the new handbrake wire 👍 had me worried for a while.

Hopefully I can get the steering and shifter assembly done before Friday night so I can finally take this bad boy for a spin before I pull it apart and paint it.

Is the pipe sturdy? Seems like it could be a bit precarious...?

Also, how did you go about the handbrake? what did you have to pull apart and solder, just out of curiosity, because i'm definitely not going and pulling apart my Fanatec and poking around it with very, very hot items.... ._.

The base is sturdy as mate especially with timber and bolts through it the real test is going to be the steering wheel assembly will let you know next weekend as for the fanatic bro I wouldn't have a clue im using the chilicoke mod for g25 just tapping into the circle button.👍

Seems like it would be pretty good then, always nice to see other people ideas, because i'm definitely looking into making a rig for my wheel real soon!
Most likely just gonna go for something simple though, probably just wood, unless i can find a way to bend metal piping, and then getting a relative to weld it for me...

Anyways, good luck with the rest of it, looks like it will be a nice bit of rig !
