    I really like your Sim @Raymann. I like that you are using materials that are easier to get in a local store. How it's going after a half year?

    Cheers

    Thanks
    The seat is from a "Playseat Evolution". You find it on ebay. That were my start to the world of sim racing.It looks good, but is not very comfortable. I will later replace it with a Sparco Sprint.

    It seems very uncomfortable to me that the chair moves but the wheel and the pedal's don't.
    How does it feel?

    Nice chair btw

    I can't see the full specs, just a summary, but from what is there the motors should be fine.
