My Racing Simulator (Chillicoke Inspired)

[4DZILR]

So we all know Chillicokes, mine is a little different.. Has the same outlay but im trying to improvise with the wood.. Again - Still early stages..

Got a g27 and modded handbrake to setup aswell and ofcourse the flip pedals..

Hope you like

 

[4DZILR]

further updates..

Next is the gearbox, and the hand brake..

 

[robulus]

Looking good man. Interesting idea covering the frame. Have you got a permanent space for this rig?

 

[4DZILR]

yeah pretty much a perfect space... Below is a quick diagram of what the room looks like..

The plasma is mounted around 2 mtres from floor and this setup is less than 1 meter high..

 

[robulus]

Awesome. Look forward to watching the build!

 

[JeffF]

so far looks great man... I built mine with alot of inspiration from chilicoke as well... you can check it out in my sig. I can't wait to see how yours turns out, looks great so far

 

[4DZILR]

So its nearly done.

Painted and awaiting carpet. I have also got some red suede and considering on wrapping the gearbox platform with it..

Also - What do people think of sticker bombing?? Just like the cars do, but on parts of the simulator... hmmmm

 

[Spagetti69]

Nice so far.

Do you have trouble reaching the paddles?
Is the wheel rim heavy?

 

[4DZILR]

no trouble, im 6'4.. the top can be adjusted aswell ..
the wheel isnt too heavy, however, i havnt played the game with it as yet, could be a little too much for simulator use.. well have to wait and see

 

[Spagetti69]

I only mentioned the wheel weight because of maybe over loading the G27 motor.

I know the original wheel rim is quite light.

Good work anyway.

 

[4DZILR]

ouch, never thought of that... if it breaks, ill know about it lol

 

[4DZILR]

Some further updates.. Got a little bored so i completed the gearbox..

 

[4DZILR]

It is red suede.. Not a die colour swede. It is used in cars for interior parts..

 

[JeffF]

looking great... can't wait to see the finished product

 

[despawn]

Looks great so far, subscribed so I'll get to see the final product.

Did you get a new seat, or is that a red seat cover?

 

[4DZILR]

new seat mate.. ) im considering on buying a recaro stitch patch to sow into it hehe

 

[despawn]

Doh! I was hoping it was a cover, as the faux leather of one of my seats is getting a bit old... And I'd like a red and black seat, not (off)white and black as I have today.

 

[4DZILR]

Some further updates... Made the table, then covered it in red suede.. Looks like ill be waiting a while for the carpet. I ordered it from Japan Left to do:

- Carpet
- Sticker Bombing
- Surround Sound and HDMI Splitter
- Handbrake Mod
- 32 or 37" LCD TV

 

[4DZILR]

Ill be taking some better photos when its all done with the SLR

Also got a small prob with the gearbox, it wont locate reverse??? is there something i need to do?

Are you having problems locating reverse while using the clutch pedal?
If so you need to depress the clutch fully, then change gears, engage clutch again.
If you are a bit sloppy on the clutch you might have trouble getting it into gear.
While using the paddles the triangle button is the reverse.

Hopefully PD will include the posibility of mapping buttons for the G27 on the next patch.

Would be awsome to have the reverse, horn, rear view, high beam, handbrake, wipers on the 6 buttons on the G27 wheel.

PS: Awsome rig you built by the way!!

 

[4DZILR]

I think my problem is when i pulled it apart to solder the e brake mod, i didnt seat the gear stick in properly.. I will have to pull it apart and have a look..

Ive tried everything, dead stop, clutch in then down and right on the stick, just doesnt do nothing, goes into 6th lol

Heres a vid of my mate playing the rig yesterday..

[4DZILR]

Parents are gone this Friday - Im taxing the 37" to see if i like it!

Carpet has been recieved - Just deciding on the handbrake mod and the surround sound

 

[rssjib]

Very nice setup sir!

 

[4DZILR]

Thanks mate!

I have installed the surround sound, just debating on the tv at the moment, finding that the 22" monitor does a pretty good job atm.. But bigger is always better

 

[GORDATA2NICE]

Nice Tony Montana Poster!!

Well, you put the shifter on the wrong side. There's your problem.

Nice looking build.

 

[4DZILR]

Ha! Down here in DOWN UNDER!, shes on the right side!

Thanks mate!
