Diving into the world of iRacing has been an exhilarating journey, but my old DIY racing rig just couldn't keep up with the demands of high-end sim racing. It was time for an upgrade. After thorough research and recommendations, I decided to overhaul my setup with Sim-Lab gear, Moza's R21 Wheelbase + GS V2P GT Wheel, as well as Heusinkveld Sprint Pedals. This blog will walk you through my experience transitioning from a budget DIY rig to a professional-grade racing setup.
So maybe this is a bit of an opportunity to show off, but when I built my garage I had a very specific set of ideas in mind. I'd like to share with you where the garage is two years after I closed on the house. I'm going to feature my BendPak GrandPrix lift, Saber Cabinet, Mr Cool DIY mini split, and my Milwaukee toolbox! I'm sure many of my followers have seen all these things on their own, but here is a chance to get a comprehensive tour of the whole thing.
Today we're going to use my L&R SweepZone 310 non-heated table top ultrasonic cleaner. You can see how incredibly powerful the ultrasonic cavitation cleaning action is. I was able to use the cleaner with some simple green HD to make an old RC car engine look brand new. It just took 60 minutes in the bath.
Today I review and show you how to use Ranger RCD-1500EX Extended Car Dollies. BendPak, the parent company of Ranger, was kind enough to hook me up with a set of these dollies. I've wanted dollies for a while and I'm very excited to finally have them.
Is a DSLR right for your new YouTube channel? What camera should you get? There is so much to choose from! Today I'm going to break down five common camera solutions and what I've learned about videography so far.
We test a USA made Precision Instruments 1/4" Drive Wrench against a Taiwanese made Capri Tools 1/4" Drive Wrench in a new segment called Five Minute Tool Reviews or FMTR for short. My goal is to finish a review and test run of the tools within a five minute window, not counting the intro or outro. This week I make a total hash of it and ramble on way too long!
Having finished installing the Fore Innovations Fuel System I found that I had a really strong gasoline smell from the Eaton Startlite hose that I was recommended. I ended up replacing those for a very similar hose, which no longer smelled. I also show you some new wheels, sticky tires and we paint some parking lines for my lift!
This is likely to be a wrap for Project: Dream Garage series of posts for a while. I will definitely make more minor and major upgrades to my garage such as flooring and various tools. Until then be on the lookout for more car and welding related projects!
I'm so excited to get my Saber Cabinets which I ordered from the Obsessed Garage store. I knew I wanted these cabinets ever since I saw them for the first time. They are just a great spot for price, quality and subjectively looks. I also purchased a GasTapper 12V MAX fuel transfer pump. This handy pump makes refueling my Mustang with race gas so easy!
The first phase of my garage build is over. The guys from Tool Time Home Improvement got done with the sheetrock, lighting, AC, etc… Everything came out pretty great with just some minor touch up left. Now I’m working on all the big ticket items and final touches including flooring, 2-post lift, tool chests, cabinets, etc…
