Surprising our SUBSCRIBER with his DREAM CAR BUILD! (Full Transformation): 2014 Subaru BRZ

  Alex was recently announced as the winner for throtl Dream Build #2! As the winner of #throtldreambuild2, Alex got his car shipped out to San Diego California to be fully modified by the throtl team. When Alex's car arrived, it was a mostly-stock 2014 Subaru BRZ. As soon as the car arrived at the throtl headquarters, the team immediately got to work on some modifications. Alex's car got the works with some new interior, exterior, and performance-based modifications. Interior Modifications For the interior of the BRZ, we installed a custom black suede headliner, throtl shift knob, and a new audio system from OEM Audio+. The OEM Audio+ system sounds significantly better than the factory audio system. This made it way more enjoyable to listen to music in the BRZ. The Opelite Optics headliner had a space theme with led shooting stars that lit up the roof of the BRZ, adding a nice bit of style to the interior.

Building a Wrecked Car into the Ultimate RACING SIMULATOR! - Fanatec

 

We built the ultimate racing simulator!

Have you ever wondered what it takes to build the ultimate driving simulator? In today's episode of throtl, we build a custom gaming PC and install it into a real car chassis to make the ultimate gaming setup.

The first step to building our custom gaming setup involved getting the chassis cleaned up and mobile. The boys begin the modifications by fabricating custom mounts and wheels on the chassis. This will allow us to roll the gaming setup to wherever we want it. After getting the wheels installed, Rickie cleans up the chassis and gets it prepped for installs. Rickie then proceeds to install the Fanatec steering wheel, shifter, pedal assembly, and E-brake.

After getting everything mocked up in the car, Rickie and Anthony begin building our custom gaming PC. For our PC build, we went with an NVIDIA RTX 3070 graphics card, Ryzen 7 3700x processor, Corsair water cooler, 16GB of Corsair Ram, and Corsair fans all packed into an NZXT H510 case. It's not the craziest PC build out there, however, it is perfect for what we need!

After getting the PC built, we installed it into the car and got everything plugged in. After getting everything set up, we began to play some games! Everyone loved playing on the simulator. They all have the greatest reactions to how fun it is to play.

Check out the video below to see our simulator in action and to see how we built it!
