I've seen your Instagram posts a lot of times and now I watched this video. Great job! Now I'm wondering if the written off P2 V70 in our backyard has a partial second life ahead of it.
Oh I hope it does! What year is it? Bear in mind the gauges in the tutorial need to be 05+, but it is fairly cheap to buy only the gauges, everything else will work!
@@Flybrick_S60R thank you for the comment. It's a 2001 if I remember correctly. And a TDI, so the gauges should go anyway. But for the beginning just the cockpit would be great, without working gauges.
Came from Facebook! I joined the group just for something like this and a few days later I found your post with a link to here! Wanting to build one out in the shed/ man cave so all my mates will be drink driving in no time 😂 tho I might not allow that because I don't want them getting the idea that they could drive intoxicated because they drove my sim 😂 anyways I'll be out in the shed the next few weekends trying to make mine look as good as yours!
I don’t subscribe or comment on very many videos , but this is what I have been wanting to build for awhile , I have the knowledge for the building it part , the electronics part is where I’ll struggle to make everything work, oh and the money for a good enough computer to run one of these on 😂😂 these kids cost too much
Awesome project! I own several Volvos and I just love them, seeing a simrig with Volvo parts is just.. amazing! ❤ Can't wait for next video as you described and I'm also wondering, do you have video on the dying of the seats? Can't wait for next video! 😃❤
Hoping this helps me with my build a long the way , going from a rig kit from NLR to a homemade two seater like you have set up, much love and ty for the breakdown truly helpful 🍻
interesting spin on the whole car idea, thinking of using more of the car, but good work very nice, clean look , its just letting the side down when the car body on screen detaches from ya dash, all round one the best ive seen good on you for showing people a way to get cheaper real car feel, stimulator
I wish that i one day will be able to make something like this.. Building a simrig from a real life car, has been a dream for close to 20 years, back when i was playing GT4 and NFS UG2 in a rig my dad build out of wood. Back then nothing like this was possible with integrating the cluster etc. Thank god for arduinos and microcontrollers :D
100% Arduinos and microcontrollers are king! It's amazing how many possibilities there are! Hope you can start your build soon! I love the concept of saving cars from the crusher and putting them to good use!
Currently working on my setup too, with my personal twist, hopefully I can share it when it’s done, not running fancy R stuff, but it’s good looking so far.
I sincerely hope he can get sponsored and or make enough money to turn this into a business to churn these out lmao. I would love to have one of these at home
I have a full Audi A4 B5 as a donor car at home and I love what you did! I don't know at all if I want to tackle such a project but let me ask you one question: Would you rather have a full cockpit with doors etc. and a full "car" feeling or do you think it's way better to only have the "lower" part and the possibility to disassemble etc.?
If I had the space, I would have the whole car on hydraulics and use a triple projector. You can remove the car interior in some games so it would br seamless z but at this point it will be significantly more complicated. I like the “simplicity” of having the simrig in my home office, I can literally go for a lap in Nordschleife during my lunch break. But if I could I would have one of each 🤣
@@Flybrick_S60R I think if you would have the lower half of the doors it would already add a lot to the immersion. Going full out with hydraulics etc is imho another story 😀 I'm just imagining it and if I every go for it I really want the "in a car feeling" not "in a sim rig" feeling but I'm pretty sure your's is 80% there (rest is roof, doors, enclosed backwall maybe).
Gotta respect the craftsmanship! Pardon if someone already asked but what server for the mods on asseto do you use? Maps upgrades etc? If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated 🤙
Hey thank you! I use mainly Pure and CSP Preview, for maps I drive a lot in Nordschleife and Shutoko, I get Shuto, cars and server in No Hesi, they have a great server.
hello, great video. I am preparing a similar config on a VW Golf 7 base. For powering the electronics (radio, various light buttons, etc.) What power did you use? Do you think 12v 50a is enough. THANKS
50A should be more than enough. In my case I am using 4 12V 10A bricks. One for the radio, one for the power seat, one for all lights and one for the gauges. The arduinos take 5V so I am using a couple of powered USB hubs for those.
😃 working on it, it takes some time because I have to juggle family, full time job and hobbies. But I have all components and I am planning to start recording soon!
I am going to start recording, it should take a while. I will maybe post a few videos in between if there are questions about part 1. I need to juggle my full time job with family and building, but like part 1, slowly but surely I will make it :)
Hey mate, how would you recommend getting the canbus codes for the gauge cluster? I’m looking to do something similar to this with a cluster from a generation 4 Subaru liberty (Australian legacy) but don’t have access to one of them, so I can’t use a can sniffer
As far as I know the only way is to begin sniffing the canbus using a real car, I know some people have some different methods but I don’t know them. Have you searched if someone already sniffed it?
Well well well I've been waiting for this my whole life And please if there is any way you can make a video on how to change a logitech steering wheel to a real one like your using
I wouldn’t recommend with a logitech wheel, unless it is a direct drive, the size and weight of real steering wheels would definitely shorten the wheelbase lifespan.
Only the buttons, since my simrig is inside my house (and I live in Florida) I didn’t need it blowing air. In the future I might connect fans just for fun.

@@Flybrick_S60R Tá de brincando que você é BR! 🤣🤣Parabéns pelo trabalho, ficou lindo demais! 👏👏👏 Tô montando um simulador aqui também. Fiz o cockpit de PVC, uma base com hoverboard e o banco eu reformei de um corolla do ferro velho, agora só falta conseguir mais dois monitores de 27" pra finalizar. Tô só esperando uma oportunidade boa nessa Black fraude e parcelar em 12x.🤣🤣🤣
In two minds about building this. On one hand it would be cool to have a dashboard etc but on the other hand I already drive a piece of shit in real life so why should I put one in my kids room? I bet Lambo parts at the scrap yard are expensive.

@@Flybrick_S60Rgreat video though! super inspiring if you want that real immersion feel. I will certainly take tips from this to build into my rig. 👍
Part 0: get some cash first 😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I built my own Sim rig with wood but this has always been my goal in the future. My rig now is pretty basic but it still serves it's purpose.
Hey that’s exactly how I started out 5 years ago, now It’s a fully welded metal (fully Diy’d) quad monitor rig👌🏽
cant wait to see 2nd part, this is what i needed thank you buddy. you done very good job and i would love this to build this one day :)
Finally! I have been waiting🤩🤩
Excited to see part 2 and how you got all the buttons and gauges working!
I am working on it :)
Epic tutorial. Thank you so much for uploading this!
Awesome build man!!
Excellent work brother!!
Thanks man, it was a ton of work! 😂
Ive been waiting for this for so long!
This is awesome! Love this idea
Watching from philippines. Great Job!
Thanks!! 🙏🏻
That is absolutely awesome!

Found you on Facebook and I had to see how you built this thing awesome job man
Thanks man!
@ you’re welcome
can't wait for 2nd part!
I'm lowkey tempted to do this!

Thanks! I am slowly working on the electronics tutorial! Hope it helps
I'm looking forward to watch it later today. Saw your rig a couple of times, really nice job.

Can’t wait to hear how it turns out! I love the idea of saving some car parts and put them to a good use!
amazing bro

good on you for showing people a way to get cheaper real car feel, stimulator
Dude.. When is part 2 going to drop? This is amazing! Makes me want to buy a bigger house to make it and play it! Well done!
Thanks! I have all parts I need and started working on it, it will take some time but I will try to be as detailed as possible.
Waiting for the second part!
Like i said in instagram , this is the way marveleus things becomes true. Super duper tutorial. Thanks very much.
Appreciate you man! 🔥
Parabéns Zeno! Great job!

Dude, you chose the (2nd) best car to turn into a simulator! The only thing better is a V70R. 😛
Mad props 🤯
Great tutorial very genius that you build this thing
Currently working on my setup too, with my personal twist, hopefully I can share it when it’s done, not running fancy R stuff, but it’s good looking so far.
Can’t wait to see!
Love it ❤❤❤
Finally sir ❤
I sincerely hope he can get sponsored and or make enough money to turn this into a business to churn these out lmao. I would love to have one of these at home
Thanks man! That would be a dream!
Waiting for the second part
damn its awesome
Respect !!
I've always wanted to change my rig to something like this. This is awesome. What size monitors are you using? Looks nuts.
On my main simrig, the one used as reference, I have triple 65 inch TVs, 4K and 120hz. They are all TCL.
@@Flybrick_S60R Cheers. Thanks for the response!

Hmm now thinking of it... the A-Pillar is kind of impractical to have from the car since it will rarely match the A-pillar in a game

get a bezel blocker. Its makes it more immersion
I now have a speedometer unit, Arduino etc., steering wheel pedals and shifter.. I just need the “cockpit”

I would LOVE to turn my v70 from 2011 into a sim rig 😃
1:55 I'm surprised the airbag didn't go off.
This is so cool, I’m based in florida. Would you possibly do it for other people if they paid for it?
legendary 😑
How did you do the small monitor? What kind of monitor/pcb and Software is it? :O
I’ll show in the part 2, but it is a cheap LCD screen that comes with a controller. It has an HDMI input so it is connected directly to my 4090.
I would use a half cut, but that would mean taking down a wall on my house to get it in my room.
Well well well I've been waiting for this my whole life
And please if there is any way you can make a video on how to change a logitech steering wheel to a real one like your using

In american truck simulator, do you have a Hi / Lo gear setup or does it not allow for 9 - 18 speed?
I use Volvo with the 6 speed manual transmission in the game to help ahha
Gotta send this to Dr DisRespect
when part 2?
Part 2 ? 😭
How much Will it cost to get u build one for me? This video is a bit hard.
Hello friend you can make a video of how to connect everything electrical
Yes, part 2 will cover all electronics and electrical connections.
@Flybrick_S60R is here on youtube
wow
How much to build one for me?
What monitor & size is it?
65 inch, 4K 120hz
Does the air conditioning work??
Only the buttons, since my simrig is inside my house (and I live in Florida) I didn’t need it blowing air. In the future I might connect fans just for fun.
@@Flybrick_S60R 😃👍
Last questions
-At the start of the video, the screens are 55" 4k??
-The definition used was also 4k??
The realism is impressive... the shooting plays a big role too.
Good job!! 👌
Came from IG
Thank you for coming! 😃
where is the Pt2 ?
I am making it, unfortunately because of my full time job I have to work little by little like part 1, but it will come! :)
part 2?
I am recording, it will take a while, I do this in my spare time. But it will come!
Where’s part 2??
I am recording. Takes time :)
If only we could mod playstations like PCs... stuck on off the shelf gear i guess
The sad thing is that, with a month's salary in my country, you can't even afford the monitors 😢😢
😔 I feel your pain, I am Brazilian born and in Brazil it is pretty expensive too…

Ok so how about you just come to my house after I buy the parts and you build it for me.. 😂😂😂 I’ll just add about $$400-$800 for labor lol
