Aluminium profiles are great. Easy to work with and the lot.
I got 3 screens for ~400 euros.

Go get them Luchian!
Got my handbrake yesterday, Will need to modify that to suit my tolerances and needs aswell. Also in the discussion for some real badass hardware parts which would fit my rig brilliantly. We'll see how that turns out.

Not worth a update but I thought I'll show you guys. The spacers for the handbrake leveler before was shit, so I manufactured my own. See before/after video. Sorry for the ugly print but my usual video editor fucked up.

It certainly is! I was a inspector on saturday for a local rally so I got to check out all the cars, most for saftey things, but there was a Ford Fiesta R5 rallycar, lovely piece of kit, which I got to take some pics of aswell, will come in good use for the rig! Also did some more testing on the Sim Steering system. Now with a proper steeringwheel aswell. Made by Carsten Filmer (www.fi-tech.net)
I shall share some pictures of the last few days. I'll put them in spoilers.
I hope I can upload an iRacing picture without getting a life time ban....

No update this weekend, sorry guys! Yesterday I was at a stupid course the whole day in Stockholm and thanks to that, I felt that I need a break today, so I watched v8 supercars and F1 instead
Will try to solider on next week. Only salvage would be that the how-should-I-manufacture-this brain department is going flat out as usual and the deal on badass hardware is done. Should hopefully be shipped next week sometime.
Upwards and onwards fellas.

Ha ha, I was wondering what's going on, being Sunday .
In any case, you won't see any pressure from us, since you're kind of way ahead with this type of project. Hopefully, your race worth it (apparently not), 'cause hazard makes it I've been at a race yesterday as well. But so little and so remote, that I won't mention more here .
Cheers Alex, patiently waiting for news.

Not much of an update but did machine some small stuff yesterday and new hardware should hopefully arrive later this week/early next! Things are going slow at the moment..

Hi bud.
I'm not sure anymore....
Already have all electronics except a circiut board. It works like theres a pressure sensor from the Willwood cylinder that goes to a loadcell amplifier, which then goes to a Leo Bodnar BU0836X board where all electronics go in then it goes into the PC via a HDMI cable for better bandwith. The throttle and clutch have Contelec Kl100 linear position sensors.
I will make a better explonation once it's all assembled and working.

No sunday update so a monday update instead.
Holy light ! ..and holy moly !
This is something one needs to see, touch, feel. Comes a point, when pictures don't cut it anymore. I really don't remember seeing a DIY rig of this proportion elsewhere. It will be very interesting to see this in motion.
Oh, and how about the cockpit frame ? is it as strong as you've anticipated ?

Have a look at Remco Hitmans brutal Tyrell P34 replica cockpit, that makes mine looking simple
Since it's not all welded in I can't really judge on that, but I'm not worried about stability, it will be solid.

Right fellas... I have been quite quiet lately. Small work last weekend and this weekend has been flat out on pedals, which obviously have to be re-done from scratch on throttle and clutch pedal. Pictures will be coming later.
