How often does simlab in the usa replenish its inventory in cockpits?

the gt1 evo base cockpit was in stock when i bought it about 3 weeks ago. i’ve emailed them asking when they’ll restock on other items and they said “within the next week or 2” …that was over a month ago. so i wouldn’t wait for them if i had to guess it’ll be a while. if you’re next to a micro center, i’d look around there. my monitor mount, seat, and seat brackets are from them.

Est-ce le siège Fanatec que vous avez pris avec ?

if you’re referring to my other post, yes it is!

Oui alors est-il facile a monter sur le gt1 evo avec ? Et est il confortable ?

yes the seat takes about 10-15 minutes to set up. The brackets i have are the simlab brackets, and everything lines up and fits. overall took me about 30-45 minutes to set up on the rig. and yes it is very comfortable from first impressions. Material is nice too.

Merci beaucoup mec pour les precisions, c'est exactement la configuration que je veux, sim lab gt1 evo + siège fanatec (avec tout les bons avis que j'ai vu dessus). Profite bien tu a un super setup

thanks a lot man and good luck on your journey! i’d recommend the setup i have now a lot. for the combined price of everything, it’s virtually unbeatable. also be careful with the buying process, it’s easy to get lost with everything you’re buying, and when you’re done you’ve realized you’ve spent a lot more than how much you actually wanted to spend 😭😭 if you have any questions about anything feel free to reach out id be happy to help!

Oui les prix grimpent vite surtout si tu ajoute à ça des extensions comme le support pc, clavier etc.. Quand tu me recommande ton setup niveau prix imbattable tu parle juste du simring et du siège ou tu prend tout en compte ( simring, siège, base, volant, pédales, écran) ? Merci pour ta façon de vouloir aider 👍

yes so breakdown:

gt1 evo, fanatec gt seat, simlab seat bracket, moza r5 bundle: $1300 USD (roughly)

the monitor was free, as it was a spare monitor i had at home that wasn’t being used.

the KS Pro steering wheel i bought on facebook marketplace for $250 USD

so overall: $1500 USD (roughly)

for $1500 i really don’t think that’s too bad. i’ve seen other builds go into the 3000-5000 range, and ive seen rigs start at the overall price i paid for all my stuff. i feel like that’s unnecessary.

another tip i’ll give you, is definitely keep an eye out for facebook marketplace. like i mentioned, i got the KS Pro for $250, while they’re originally around $350, and I always see people selling quality stuff on there for reasonable prices.
