These started out as an:
Marada Aluminum Profile Racing Simulator Cockpit with Seat, Unlimited Adjustment, Fit for Thrustmaster/Fanatec/Moza/Logitech G29 GPro,Sim Frame 8040.
They sellon Amazon for $499 plus tax. They come with a crappy generic seat.
I bought one for myself and was not satisfied with it as it was so I totally redesigned / modified / customized / upgraded / improved it.
I ended up building one for myself and one for a friend, then I built another 2 for resale.
Already sold one, 1 still available
Modifications:
Shortened footprint from. 54” long to 44.5”
Added wider front crossbar
Added 4” high feet up front
Extra corner braces for strength and stiffness.
Extended foot rest area
Made aluminum brackets that allow footrest area to pivot up out of way for storage.
Added rubber stops for front footrest for up and down positions
Added new rear adjustable height locking caster wheels from Trak Racer.
Added larger robust arm for gear shift.
I upgraded to a genuine Mini Copper S sports car seat. The seat looks almost new. It is real leather and has good support all around. Extremely comfortable. It is a manual seat that slides back and forth 4.5”. It has adjustable lumbar support and tilting backrest. It also has height adjustment up and down 1.5” via manual side “pump handle” Also has a quick release function that folds and slides seat forward.
Seat alone is worth $400+
This simulator feels more like a real car now. Very stiff and rugged. Infinitely adjustable for all driver sizes.
When not in use it folds up into a very compact footprint and moved easily with rear wheels
Come with bag of extras including a couple corner brackets, some bolts, caps etc.
Has brackets ready for adding the upright
Supports for a monitor mount you need to buy separately (see last pic)
Save yourself hours of build time by buying a prebuilt cockpit.
