 Finding answers instead of another one to blame Negative thoughts are raised back to where they came You can do it, you can do it, you got everything that came Traces of my grandmother etched in my brain That kind of loss will make you go insane But I go through it, nothing's impossible Just do what you got to do the first steps The hardest after that thing not stopping you The motivation had a lighter How was the flame you added to the fire? Reaching for the things that I desire If you aspire to take it higher than your passion But I'm still staying focused The way to hate a swarm, somebody like a pack of lotus I tell them no, that's when life can be demanded But then I look down and I see I'm still standing up I used to be in situations where I'd freeze Man, I mean I was stiffer than a manic And my best friends were telling me to breathe And if it's not for you then you should think about your family Lisa's looking after me five but like a tambourine When I'm like a sampleine Construction that is of my wheelbase The rabbit plate We are building a new base We are building a new wheelbase here We are just basically using some exterior four inch screws Some lag bolts for seat sliders We have two five foot sections Two by four A bunch of 18 inch sections of two by fours And some two by sixes for upwards angles So we're going to be building a new base So I'm going to go through kind of the steps on how I'm building it And give you guys an idea of the new base The new setup with seat sliders and everything That we're going to be doing So I'm going to get the plans Show you guys quick rough drawing of it And then now we'll get to building it So this is kind of the rough idea of what we're doing It's a very simple style design Very rough sketch Of course we're going to have another bar going down from here to here For support and stuff like that So basically we're going to build the base And then I'll kind of explain it after I put it together And then I'll go step by step Explaining all the ins and outs about it And everything that you would need Other than screws, screwdriver and drill And wood Because we're building this out of wood We're probably either going to stain it, wood burn it, paint it Not sure we're just going to get it assembled first And then we're going to get everything all hooked back up So we can get back to slime Alright so we got the base pretty much put together We just added our 18 inch section in between Our two 5 foot and two 18 inch flats That are flipped sideways so that we can actually mount Our Corbeau seat sliders Which will go straight to our energy innovation seat So we're going to get these mounted in And get the seat set up And then work on the upper brace For the actual wheel and pedal placement And stuff like that Alright so we got the NRG seat Mounted onto our base With our seat sliders So now we have movement Back and forward for shorter drivers Now we're working on pedal placement And the simple pedal placement We're doing floor mount pedals So I'm going to be using Some more 18 inch pieces And putting them at an angle So that I can raise the pedals up at an angle And screwing them down Onto those And then probably putting a board underneath So it's not sitting on the ground That's what we're doing for the pedals So I'm going to get them mounted up And angled up And then I will come back to you guys Show you guys exactly how I did it And we'll go from there NRG seat Nice seat sliders So now we got Full movement In our seat forward and back So we're good to go Alright so we got pedals mounted At an angle based We basically took two more Two by fours And screwed them right in 18 inches long Just like that crossbar and everything Mounted the bottom one Lower to the ground Screwed it in on the sides And now the other one A little bit angled up To give the pedals a little bit of an arc For the floor mount pedals So the Fandatech pedals are all mounted Seats all mounted Sliders good to go Next is to get our Wheel base mounted up So we're going to have to Basically mount that to our crossbar first And then we're taking Two by sixes and doing an angle To give us that angle part To mount the base on there So you have leg room to sweep in Of course we'll put a brace on there too So we're going to go with the next step We're going to get that thing mounted up And we're going to continue this project So just like I said A quick overview Bases all together Two by fours Two by fours on the seat sliders And on the pedal mounts For floor mount pedals And we're going to go to the next step Which is getting this Wheel mounted This time consuming part Is getting the angle right And the feel of where I want it to sit But we're going to go through that And we will continue this build On our new sim base With our energy seats And we're going to go with that Alright so we've got Angle pieces mounted At a degree that I felt was Comfortable for my wheel base They're not going to be this long These are going to get cut down Once I actually set the base In between where I want it to be With my knees And then that will What will hold it up This will be like I said A lot shorter To get in And you don't have to worry about that I may have to angle it up A little bit higher So that it's Not as small of a V here But this is the trial and error Where I got to Kind of change the angle of things And figure out where it fits So we're going to keep going Figure out where I want to put it at And then go over there Alright so we made A good amount of progress on it Just to show you what I did I did two by sixes Screwed down on the bottom Angled upwards And then a two by six across Just screwed in two sides For the wheel to mount on to And it is angled backwards So I don't have to use the riser So the wheel is sitting How I want it to sit The hardest part of I believe this build is to get The angling of this two by six Where you want it in proportion to You know your seating placement So this is how we have it set Now we have two braces here Keep it from Making it a little more sturdy But it actually works really well So this was the basic design We're going to do a little bit more work to it But this is the hardest part Is getting the angle for these Up braces for the wheel base Basically you just want to put one screw in there And kind of move it up and down Sitting in there trying to get it Where you want it just moving up and down You might need a second hand to do it But so far this is What the base looks like as of the moment We're going to keep working on it And I'll show you guys more Once I get more built into it All right so we got all the Fanatec stuff finally mounted up On to it kind of in position where I want it We get the handbrake right up top by the wheel Shifted down the bottom on basically A little console nothing major Just out a one by six and some Two by six is up against it Screwed to the whole base So just a quick overview We had our base which is 18 inches wide By five inches long Or five inches five feet long And then this The angle parts are going to be different height Based on your position Where you want it to have Seating position and angle and all that So these will be Whatever length you feel fit comfortable For you and we just have a Fanatec mount You can mount any type of wheel there G920 clamp it on there Whatever G29 whatever you have And we did some angle bracing To keep it from sagging up and down And of course we have our pedals mounted Which you can mount other pedals This way as well So basically this is the new sim base I do have to Now take all the Hardware and Fanatec stuff off it To finalize it with Staining it and maybe doing Some custom work on it Well not myself my buddy And then do wire You know wire tucking And making all the wire nice and clean And hiding it on there Which I had ordered Which I'll show you guys in another video Of course once I finalize this whole thing But I just wanted to bring this video to you guys To show you guys on the new base How I built it So you guys can build your own base like this If you want very solid, very sturdy Super excited about it Can't wait to get sideways on it But that's going to be another video So I hope you guys enjoyed it Make sure you tap that like button Subscribe I do appreciate all the support The Graham links and everything down there below So as always We will rabbit, I'll see you guys On the next one
