There is something a little ironic about this ^^^^

ok ok, here it is. heres my race sim inspired by this thread.

I got the wheel a while back and i already had an idea of what i wanted, plus the fact i had the option of a spare race seat or a gaming chair thing i won in a raffle. its slightly adjustable, by simply using a phone book to prop it up if you have long legs! i really wanted this to be portable and lightweight.

so pretty much it was:

Logitech Driving Force GT $110
Pyramat Sound Rocker Chair $free
lots of PVC $140
and 2x weekends

i know theres plenty of G25 fanboi's out there but the H pattern is tacky and not solid like a daytona sim , you cant go past this wheel, it has loads of buttons on the wheel and was 'Made for GT5' and you can adjust the brake bias/traction control ingame! the DFGT is cheap, reliable and functional, enough to get sore arms from the force feedback!

here's me finding a use for the ironing board:

here's me finding a use for the ottoman:

adjustment pics:
Short Legs

Long Legs:

to give the form a bit more re-enforcement we screwed the main parts together.

Click to view full size!



I took it to the last big lan (500ppl) i got alot of strange looks until they tried it! I will get round to painting the pvc but we are working on a wood framed one next out of an old bed i have, with a bigger subwoofer, 5.1, adjustable frame.. but for now this will do

Nice work, looks like you've riveted the fittings together?
What colour are you gonna paint it?

yeah just screwed it together for the time being, in case i needed to change the length of anything, going to run the blu glu through the rest of it soon. just going to paint him just matt black.

- Komodo yeah the centre does look like it will be the first area to crack, lucky ive got plenty of pipe! i am going to strengthen that area up and run some glu in there. fortunately i dont weigh much

was looking on the forums for a guide for using a car amp/sub together with a pc psu has anyone else done this? pretty keen to mod the race chair we have on my next build; the sub just adds to the experience, 1 step short of going pneumatic actuators!
