Okay so i'm after a racing rig like a Playseat but i'm only looking to spend around £100 do you guys have any ideas?

EDIT: I use a DFGT by the way :)
 
I would suggest building one yourself. I built one from wood and a seat from a junk yard for $45 usd (27.5 gbp)
 
do you want to build it yourself or buy a standard one? if so, I would look for a 2nd hands playseat. 100 pounds isn't really much to buy a standard playseat, so I would go and try to make one myself. Í only am 16 years old and have a low budget too. Because of that I made my own seat. it became a nice and really study racing seat.👍

sorry for bad English, I'm from Holland:crazy:

Thanks for your help guys 👍 and bigbembem, it's cool, luckily I speak some dutch myself ;) 👍
 
I, like the ones above me, strongly suggest you build one yourself. I first saw the renSport one and was impressed how it looked like BUT relized it was a very simple design to replicate.

I personally build one out of and old IKEA futon frame (free, this was found at the back of my building) and $8 worth of self tapping screws at HomeDepot. I was very fortunate because an old work buddy of mine had a 2006 Civic Coupe seat sitting in his garage because the wrecker gave it to him when he needed to purchase the side seat airbag. Therefore so far, my rig (minus the steering wheel, the TV, the extra ps3) cost me $8, I'll post pic(s) in a few. Just so people know, its still missing the shifter mounts, simply a small square piece of wood attached on both sides, and other small things like pedal mounts and such, but you get the idea. VERY VERY sturdy, it holds up 190lbs standing on it.

oh and I realized it cost a little more because I bought bolts to mount down the seat, which btw it isn't in the picture, just the fronts of the rails...anyways, all the bolts where like $5...so you're sitting at $13.
