Default Gran Turismo Driving Simulator

Hey, i found some pictures of the driving simulator with the Sparco racing seat in Japan. My friend and I are gonna build a couple in Metals workshop after i finish my computer case. Can any1 find any plans of those things or any better pictures? I was wondering if it should be out of steel tubing or aluminum> we already have steel but it weighs heaps. I'm making one for PS2 and my friend is gonna make one for PC or just make up a plan for a universal one. This is gonna be tight, ill keep you guys updated. w00t.

why dont you just buy a Tenzo R race seat and put it on top of some 2x4s...it will save you alot of money.

uh guys, i know its a repost but im trying to find different pictures of it so it can help plan out my designs and isometric drawings.
i dont want a racing seat on a bunch of 2x4's, i might want to sell this one day, it has to looks flashy and i want something to do in metals, if i can get all the parts in metals it will cost me $0 (except for the seat)

why do you have to copy the design inch by inch? all you need is a sturdy mount for the racing seat (make it adjustible), controls, a place to stick a monitor/TV and a place to stick a playstation or computer case. design it yourself. i doubt you'll hit it right on the first time you try to build it, so make a prototype and worry about flashiness later
