My son really likes racing games... on his iPad ! So I decided to build him his own sim rig. I ordered the GTR Simulator GTA-F from amazon.com because, well, they are the only ones that would ship to Hawaii without charging me $400 to ship the box(es). Setup was fairly easy, but let me say, this rig is solid and it doesn't flex a bit. I first assembled it to fit me (6'1", 275lbs) and I can't get this thing to move at all. But the chair didn't fit me, my shoulders are too wide for that backrest, so I modified it and stuck it in my son's bedroom.. My 9 year old son is only 4'4 so did have to do some extensive modifications to it. first of all with a 3/8" drill bit I drilled holes in the square tubing to move the seat closer to the steering wheel, second I had to move the post that holds the steering wheel deck lower. You can see on the photo the side riser that goes to the wheel deck has a hole in it. That is where the wheel deck usually bolts in. I moved it down and forward. The wheel/pedals is a Thrustmaster T500rs, the screen is a curved 40" Samsung 4K TV and everything is currently being run on a PS4. It's not quite finished. I still have to do some cable management and maybe wall mount the PS4 on the back wall... I couldn't find any information about this cockpit before I ordered it, so if you are considering it hit me up with any questions!
