Just bought a 911 for the seat now I'm good to go

“Simplest sim rig. Step 1: buy 911 and remove seat” Wheres the shifter?!

This is it, I've found it. This is how I'm gonna build it. Can't get simpler than that. Thank you.

This is genius. Simply genius. And there I was, thinking up all kinds of incredible complicated metal bar rigs, not knowing anything about welding whatsoever. Corpses of trees is the solution. Thanks dude!

"World's Simplest DIY Sim Racing Rig" As soon as he pull the saw out, Thats already way past my skill level

so that's what Roger Federer does when he's not collecting grand slams

I don't have access to a seat, timber, steering wheel, pedals or a computer. Can you make a video showing how to make this setup without those items? Thank you

I almost felt myself diving towards the monitor to catch the saw when it fell lol. Great work with the rig , nice and simple and works perfectly. Nice one mate!

Really appreciate having this exist! I found a sweet manual GTI (the plaid one, of course) seat in good condition so I actually mounted the seat rails to the chassis of the rig so I can move the seat back and forth so others can use my sim too, but I didn't have the slightest clue as to where to start in terms of actually building it until I saw this.

Nice job, Jeff! You've taken something that would've otherwise been left to collect dust in the corner of the garage and turned it into something everybody watching this video would be excited to try out. Very cool!

I sit on my couch for 3-4 people, with my wheel clamped to an old and brittle portable table, beat that.

I think the Porsche seat really gives it that extra something you don't get in a store made one. Have a good new year!

Thanks for the video! This gave me some nice ideas. I don't want to build such a huge thing with a dedicated seat. Instead, I plan to make only the "table" part. Then when not playing, I can easily store it in the living room as a regular table. I will also want to "extend" it from the sides, to have a cup holder on the left, and a place for a mouse/USB keypad on the right.

I really like this particular design, it's just simple and easy, other people put in complex angles and measurements, sure it looks nice but when it comes to functionality and ease of building this one takes the cake

Original PORSCHE 911 seat. Doesn't get simpler than that ;)

Simply the best, and I have seen so many commercial alternatives. Bien joué Jeff !

i have a wheel stand pro with full motion sim, and tbh, this video just made me want to try building one for my fiance or friend to learn how to drift! awesome to have wood become a endless possibility for a racing sim

Glad I found this video again, after watching this last year I went to the wreckers and bought bucket seat from a Kia Cerato, bought the passenger seat because it was in excellent condition and only cost me $50, it is super comfortable and came with the rails which were all of similar height so no packing etc to make it fit on my frame. Been using it for a year now and the only change i have made it to remove the G29 pedals and invert them so they sit like a real car. Thank you for the inspiration. Total cost for a really good sim seat (Not included the logitec G29) was $50 seat plus $15 in timber.

Finally a project I can do myself without my parents going mad! Love it!

looks great to me! beats my set up (clamp on my desk and try not to bump my elbows into my desk chair's arm rests). Actually looks super nice painted.

so my 1st car was an 06 Pontiac and the engine gave out a while ago, got a new 2015 nismo juke (love it, miss my pontiac because of some memories). The pontiac has just been sitting in the yard until getting paid off and then going to a junkyard, so now ill have a use for the front seats and im stoked!

Hi again!😀 Made one from an old mazda 6 seat, doesn't actually even look that bad and works like a charm. It's also very comfy and didn't take that long to build. Cheers😁

Thanks for sharing this build. I built 1 had so much fun built a 2nd one and now can have head 2 head race tournaments in person when the guys are over. I used Acura rsx seats driver and passenger i got of kijiji.

Looks good, Jeff. Good to see Mrs Jeff using it as well!

I must say, the simpliest is always gonna be the best. there are obnoxious rigs out there, homemade and branded that I once tried to DIY myself. I was halfway through when I realized how hard it is to clean once dust settles on them... The less you have, the less you clean. I'm currently on a triple screen with very basic, straight forward rig. Like 6 metal bars, a seat and wheels and table.

Thanks for this video I've built a similar version and it's great wish I could put a picture up

Awesome. Just built one. Slight modified the table top to improve stability by using MDF sides. Jag Jkr seat. Job done. Thank you.

Watched this video about 20 times to build my set up. Helped massively

excellent job, so simple yet much better than anything expensive you buy from a retailer. Nice job.

im building the rig, but I enjoy racing with a h-shifter so ive created my own mod for the shifter and I don't have access to paint. but you really have delivered on the promise of the cheapest diy sim cockpit so im gonna subscribe

Thanks for the idea. Completed mine in 4 hours. Hahaha. Had to figure out where to put the shifter. Made an L shape extension from the base wood.

I had a leather chair and built a rig using this video. It worked out great! Thanks for the video!!

Love it! Just what i was looking for. Simple, cheap and usefull.

Great video mate. Popped down to the old pick and pull and nabbed me a BMW all power leather seat with the power harness for 45 bucks. Thanks for the idea!

You’ll need some cross bracing for when Mrs Jeff is power skidding into those corners hard on opposite lock...

I don't have a lot of room in my place for something like this to be stuffed in the corner of a room with its own dedicated monitor/PC and such full time, however, I'm going to be looking at building a SLIGHTLY different model of this setup. The table will be easily detachable, the seat easily removable and reusable as a normal chair while working at a work bench. The entire unit would have to come apart and stack in a corner somewhere like a utility closet, but it can easily come out and "play". AWESOME stuff here.

Jup great build, thats what im gona do! Super easy to build, super easy to perfectly adapt on the go while building and looks really sturdy! Thanks for the build, love it!

Thats amazingly simple and prefect... I've always wanted to move up to a wheel instead of my curent hand controller... money was always holding me back but this might be just the ticket... thanks for the video...

This is acutally pretty easy to do. I am going to bhuild this once i moved into my own place. Dad wouldnt be such a fan of this :D Thanks for the video :)

That's really neat! I'm gunna follow this guide when I get my Wheel and Pedals

Just as soon as I get a racing wheel I'm gunna try something like this. Nice job mate

That’s awesome! Perfect little setup, I would be beyond happy if that was my setup! Well done!!!

This is great, so simple and effective. I’m looking for ideas to put something together for my 4 year old, i think I’ll probably go with PVC but this gives me an idea on how to go about it.

Jeff, you're a legend! My partner bought me a Logitech G29 Racing Wheel with the H-Pattern shifter, and I'm looking for ideas on a simple DIY rig to build, and I'd like to say thanks for throwing these ideas out there for people to see and use! Keep up the awesome work mate! :)

what I like about this vid is it helps the creative juices going to build something to my needs... thanks...

I was looking to build a PVC rig and scored an old 911 seat yesterday (Gumtree, $50) as the first step. Now I’ve seen this, I’m doing it your way mate. Cheers :-)

This is awesome, Im thinking I might actually do this. I was dreading spending $400 plus to buy one and im not exactly a good welder. On the plus side I already have an SVT Focus seat that I can use. Thanks for the idea

thank you so much!!! I built my own sim rig too just no seat just wheel and pedals I really learned a ton here 👍 cost me 15$ wood and screws I had the drill and saw

Just built a diy rig with me and my friend and its really nice, only took about 2 days!

Quick and easy setup! A nice little project almost everyone can do! Cheers Jeff!

I basicly just did the same thing 2 days ago 😁 i had my thrustmaster t500rs wheel mounted to a wheel stand pro so that was the perfect way to start so i bought 3 garden poles.2poles are 9cm x 9cm x 240cm and 1 pole in size 7cm x 7cm x 240cm,i cut the big poles at a lenght of 150cm for the side of the rig,then i cut the left over pieces at 40cm this serves as the width of the rig(40cm is also the width of my wheel stand pro)as for seat i used my original audi s-line seat since i put recaro pole positions in my car.😉Then i cut the small pole in to 4x45cm to serve as table feet for my monitor,and just bought a dark oak wooden layer to put on top of it,and man it is stable,doesn't move a inch while racing while when i had my wheelstand pro when sitting in my couch it would contantly move around,i spend around 80euro worth of materials,and it's the best thing you can do if your handy and have the tools,i just didn't have a circle saw to cut everything so i sawed it manually other then that it took me about 5 hours to get it perfect how i wanted.

Wow that was just amazingly simple. Now I definitely have the right ideal design. Thanks bruh this really helped me.

Great video well done. At 6:10 when things slide from that top reminds me of myself when I make things. Maybe it will last longer than most tubular setups too.

Dang I always wanted to have just a wheel and pedals but I’m not financially stable enough for just the simplest ones, but I hopefully will get one soon and this has helped me save money for my set-up thanks man🙏

Nicely done! Thank you, gonna use for my VR setup.

Watching this for the first time 5 years later, just what I'm looking for!

Awesome. Son and I now have a new holiday project!! I'll send you pics once done!

Oh super cool way to build something simillar.Thks for the nice video.

Great project and the missus is adorable, also. KUDOS

I had to use the google translator to write since I speak Spanish, I really liked the design I am going to do it thank you very much for the idea

I did this back in 95 with a ps2, before it was popular, built the wheel and pedal mounts on a wood platform, worked well, would love to buy one of these newfangled wheels theyre sellin now.

Great video Jeff. You just gave some ideas to start creating some stuff. Thanks! :)

Clean and simple design. Looks Awesome 😀

LOL the best part was seeing Mrs Jeff take it over! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This. This is great. Wish I could do something similar at one point or another.

Floor hinged pedals ...good practice for driving the Porsche...great work!

I really like it. G29 (Im only a casual racer) arrives tomorrow. Im gonna build this for GT7V. Im gonna taper the front down, put a grill and some old vintage car lights on it. Maybe an old Hand honker too. 📯

THank you for this ... gave me the idea to build my own based on your design ... Since i drive a Skoda Octavia in RL, i used a Seat from one :)

This is awesome! My wife just got me a Xbox one with forza 3 for Christmas. Now I have an excuse to get a steering wheel and pedals so I can use my spare 240z seat👍🏼😁

Nice and simple, I like it. Thanks for sharing!

Moin, you made a fine RIG there I'm more of a hobby at ACC at the Series X and just looked at what material had accumulated over the years. I built my RIG completely out of wood and this is what it looks like now. It only has to be filled and then painted black with orange accents. However, it has become quite massive (1.72 mx 1.20 m). I built in the Gamechair as only I am allowed to sit in it. So he didn't have to go on any rails. Unfortunately, the options on the XBox are very limited. I took the 3 vibrators + control from an old massage mat, screwed 2 of them into the seat and the third to the pedals. Connected via the subwoofer of the Gamechair. Not as optimal as on a PC, but the result is astonishingly good. Engine vibrations, curbs or gear changes are simulated well. I can proudly say that I have made something fantastic for me out of "junk in the basement". Except for a few corners, I had everything lying around. I think it's great when someone thinks about it and builds something for themselves. Anyone can buy ... 😄 Definitely a nice video of you with a great result. Here is a very short video of my RIG in its current state. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNtxh6aWnNqYiKc.html

Loving it, one thing i would have done different is mount the "table" part for the wheel on the outside of the base so you have more width.

2:41 perfect timing with the music and your legs! 😂😂

Nice practical setup, well done.

Love this. Also love the double bass drumming in tandem with the feet on the pedals at about 2:35 - 2:40 :-)

This is perfect. Thank you for posting!

Nice work Jeff! Need to do this for my force feedback wheel and pedals for my ps2.

Nice job. I recently made a sim for my son using PVC and a Chevy Sonic seat I pulled from the junkyard. Really helps when have to do endurance races on Forza 7.

Another great project. Thanks Jeff.

The seat is everything, and it’s a Porsche seat. It really does not matter how simple a rig is, as long as you have the best fit possible, and can stand up to the rigors of sim racing, I’m handy enough to build a rig, but wanted a store bought rig, and a damn nice one I got. RSeat S2.

Nice! I made one the same way practically for free with pallet wood from my job. Lol. It cost me a total of 10 dollars, and that was just for the casters so I can roll it out of my way when I'm not using it.

thats an epic and simple set up!!!!!

Does the job and looks great. Ace video, mate.

Great Job...!! (and a beautiful car you have there... !!)

This is great!!! All you need is to hang canvas on the sides and airbrush flames on it, and maybe paint side pipes along the bottom...

Better and simpler than mine! Love it

I’ve been thinking about getting one for my brother ima buy my self one too I’ve been hooked on these racing games realistic

Brilliant!! I want one!! Happy New Year mate!

This is great , thanks for sharing. saving big bucks here.

I want to do this with the rear seat and rear seat brackets from a Honda Element so it not only does it recline (and has a cup holder) but folds out of the way... 🤔 Thanks for the idea!

Looks Jeff... also looking at getting a wheel and pedals for my PS4.. and think will be the same ones as you're using.. what games do you recommend?

Wow! This is so good mate! Very smart!

hi, nice video ! I'm using a playseat, but would love to have a second rig to play multiplayer with my friend. what kind of material did u use? 48X98?

Oh wow that 911 is gorgeous

Very nice! You might wanna consider offsetting the legs of the table on the seat side a fee inches inward so you can get in and out easier, and shouldn't compromise the structure. Love your builds!

Wow...You are talented...I could not do this in a decade...well done and happy racing!!

A project that I could do !!!!! (I've just watched an average guy (NOT) "making your dream car in 4 mins" ....)

Well this is way to go. i actually got to recycle an old Table and some poles from an old fence, and i made my own playseat so nice no more Anti slip mats for my pedals :D only thing left is the paint job and adding some side panels for other stuff ^^ thanks for this video u made almost 3 years ago XD if i could i'd show the end result

Very cool. Love your work

Nice one, well done.
