School Cockpit

[Bopop4]

Hi all! This is my racing rig that I biult this year in my school's manufacturing class. It was the first thing that I actually built so I am quite pleased with it.
I based the design off of the VRC and it is adjustable for pedal distance, wheel height and distance, and the shifter moves in all 3 dimensions.

The seat is from an airport taxi and I got it for $20 in a junkyard. I also spent $50 on the paint. All of the metal was free.

I designed it for my G25 and everything is bolted in.

The things that I would change if I did it again would be make it a double steering post design and lower the pedal angle by about 10 degrees.

Very nice, airport taxi seat haha sweet! I always wanted to mount the seat rails for further more adjustment.

Thanks! The seat actually has a lot of support and is fairly comfy. I may have mounted at too big of an angle though.

(Year late response lol.) ^Thanks.


I finished the pedal inversion this semester at school, and also made a handbrake out of an old Logitech joystick.

The base can move front, back, and can move vertically to a height of 2 feet.
The pedal angle can be changed, and each pedal can be individually shifted left, right, up, and down.



I still need to make that double post wheel mount though, then it'll be perfect.
