I have a race cockpit that I made from MDF (took me a fair few hours as well). I'd now like to sell it but I have absolutely no idea where to even try and sell something like this. I think the ebay would be useless because it's not a branded model


Since modified with proper padding on the seat (a double thickness camping mat)

I built it from plans (the guy used to sell them fully made) and it's superb, I just don't have the room.

Would it sell in the classifieds here or can anyone suggest another place? I'd also have the issue of somebody having to collect from Bristol rather than posting.

I'm stuck, I want rid but I've spent too long on it to just take it to the tip.

I don't think I have them any more and I had to agree to a 'you mustn't distribute these plans to anyone else' agreement before he sent the plans to me.

There used to be a website where you could sign up. If I find it again then I'll post it here.

If you need any of the various fasteners then let me know, I bought a load (as that's the minimum I could source).

Dunno! This wasn't a 'for sale' thread (honest!)

Email me an offer, if you're willing to collect then we can sort something out.

I would stand that 360 on something to raise it up.They can be fragile beasts as it is and that's without blocking off the largest air intake hehe

Chair looks good though.I sold mine last year due to lack of use, but they are a good laugh if you are in to your racing games.

That is cool biggrin however the OH would give me an extreme kicking and most of my mates are builders and stuff and they probably would too if I did something like that!

if the above user hasnt taken it

you could try AVforums on the xbox classifieds

people are always selling rigs like this on there and they do tend to fly out.

Firefox has shortened the title of this thread to "Best place to sell my DIY race cock..."


I have nothing further to add.
