Are any of you guys using one? If so some pics would be nice to get some ideas from

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello JJ
Here is a pic of mine. The only real change is that I have BRD Peddles now and not the ActLabs. I hope you get some good ideas if you have any questions give it a go. I will say that you will enjoy your race much more and you will really get imersed in it.

I'd prefer one of these:

THAT would be awesome! (if it could just be a bit cheaper...

There's also a competitor's poor-man version:

Fellow simracers!
Carbonara™ production proudly presents...
HFF™ Human Force Feeback

After year and years of testing, we finaly have a full working version!

lmao wow hff is a really cool one ... remind me of a guy who told me his girlfriend gave a massage to him while racing ... wonder how he could finish race on 2nd position

Well I started to do my room in f1-style now, specially in bmw colours (hope they won't get mad because of my ferrari wheel lol)

I coloured the wall white again, needed 5 times to do that because that stupid women who lived here before me coloured it in pink (hihi my ex allways hated it huahaha).

Today my daddy is going to do the blue carpet in.

Going to build a glass cabinett out of old formula tyres and a table and a sideboard for my tv in this style.

1st I thought about this simulator ... hmmm ... well I think the people above me would have to leave the room there for ... rofl

I am going to ask a guy in my village to help me to build this one in the next two month

I want to do a backseat of a car behind to get a little couch as well.

Thought about a beamer/projector (

) instead of a flatscreen to get a BIG SCREEN hehehehe. But some guys told me now they are not so good for it ... have to think about what to do in this point ... maybe someone has a good idea

I bought a bmw-clock and a cool bmw poster on ebay and a bmw flag for the window.

The metal sheet from RSbmw I bought on ebay allready arrived and a german racer (maybe someone reminds ... its Damon / former NAR) told me he has some old metalsheets from races (advertisement in the early days of racing hihi) and he is going to give them to me for free.

The shop I bought the wheel at is also printing big poster and I want this picture in big for my wall.

Thanks guys,

LOL at the human force

Dutch what's your BRD wheel like?
do the gears change ok, like the red momo?

I've got some idea now (well sort off, i think I'll skip on the jaguar one though lol)

Thx

JJ

Never had the red momo before so i cant compare. I can only say that i have this equipment for about 5 months now and its great, i cant complain at all.

The steer doesnt have FF, it just has a spring so when you turn it gives a resistance. Gears dont give any problems its working verry smooth. Its just some decent stuff they made and i dont have to worry for the next few years for a failing steer or pedal.

Holy smokers.
No wonder you guys get such good lap times.Hitman is so comfortable he must be sleeping from 50% to 80% of race..LOL..
I had to leave my simulator behind when I moved into this apartment(sigh).To heavy to haul up 3 flights of stairs.Time to build a lightweight metal one like hitmans.I'll just get my son to move it around for an hour while I race..hehehe...the perfect simulator.Well...that is until I crash.He'll probably then throw me into the wall at high speed and laugh his head off...hahahaha plop(sound of his head falling off).If his head doesn't fall off I will rip it off after i peel myself off the wall....rofl..

I really need a setup like these myself. I kinda like this one but it's a bit pricey given the fact that you have to put it together and it doesn't come with a seat. Maybe I'll build one like it eventually. I need more room in here dammit.

Ruben Miranda · Post by **Ruben Miranda** » 06 Apr 2005, 05:42

Hello Guys.
Price wise it is best to build your own of course if you are not handy with tools and such then you would be wating time and Money.
As an example I built mine includeing
Seat
5.1 Speakers
Materials for a little over $200.00 Not bad concidering the prices of some of these ready made frames IMO and of course there is a little pride in that you built your own.

And all the ones I have seen are very nice there are some home built cockpits that put mine and factory ones to shame. But if iwas to buy one
and it is a little pricey it would be this one.
