VR racing rig
Sharing my VR racing rig build comes with Butt kicker BK and some DIY Arduino 'Shake-It' system through SIMHUB program for maximum immersion. Have to use table fan to cool down the overheating Amplifier and Arduino UNO hardware. Have to constantly tighten the rig screws every week due to immense vibration too.
I'm using the rig to run PC sim: Assetto Corsa and Euro Truck simulator.

Yes, just for car racing and trucking sim.

Hahaha, slow slow upgrade la..my wallet super dry nowadays.
Saving up for handbrake and Sparco seatbelts.

That lots of metal hardware work especially with real fluid, my G923 brake pedal already hard enough on leg exercise for a day. If i had time i might use my mountain bike foxshox hydraulic absorber and mods the pedal.

Found this on ebay:

Yes indeed! totally addictive and immersive because it really simulate my actual experience driving home 'balik kampung' style. All those driving ambient and places to visit makes driving more enjoyable. Sometimes on weekend i spent 12 hours just driving just visiting places. Here's snapshots and tweet videos of my truck driving.

Vibration dissipation via seatbelt
Finally i've installed SPARCO seatbelt and to my surprise it was really worth it for some immersion reason:

1. The chassis vibration from ButtKicker system and SIM HUB "Shake-It" reverberate into my seat belt making it more immersive feeling through my body especially the vibration from various engine and brake rumble feedback.

2. Since i'm on VR it makes it feel more secure and life like behind the wheel.

3. Helps to force me into proper seating posture, no more back bone pain.

Soon probably will put strong digital high torque servo to pull the seatbelt for extra G-Force effect since i have 2x extra unused connection port on SIM HUB/ADAFRUIT motor shield hardware.

After i try the Akina track i realized i suk drifting on narrow roads. Need to sharpen my drift skills first. hahaha.

I didn't rev matching, hard to 'blip' accelerator pedal timing right to rev the engine a bit and bite the clutch when i busy chasing the opponent infront of me and cornering. Will try to learn rev matching soon. Thanks.
