Its not really that hard.

All you have to do is go down to the steel yard and pick up some square tube aluminum (or steel if you want weight to it).

Measure out your lengths in 2x2 square tubing.

Then make cross braces out of 1x1 square tubing and have it tig welded together making your base frame.

From there you place 2 cross braces for your seat mount out of some flat strap metal. Drill your holes for your seat and mount it.

Then measure your foot placement with the controler pedal height compensated on it as well as height etc. Cut a piece of 2x2 and weld it to one of the cross braces and mount your pedals on a platform and secure it.

Then measure out for your steering wheel and angle cut a piece of tube for that including a platform to mount the wheel to.

Weld it all up and poof you have a gaming seat for probably less than $100 (if you have a spare seat around, and you know someone with a welder).

Now I know not everyone directly knows someone with a welder but I am sure everyone knows someone who knows someone who has one and can work out a deal to get it done either real cheap or for the parts to make another or whatever.

 

I saw a wooden one too, with recaro seat, it was cool.

 

I was thinking of something similar. but instead of welding, using bolts and nuts to connect the sections as well as cutting box notches for further security but never got around to it.

 

:rockon:
cant take credit though, buddy actually built it, i just play in it
also version 3.0 coming soon with paint, harnesses and hp adding stickers :eek3:

 

remind me the release date i nthe us...

 

have him make me version 3.0 :eek3: I'd compensate him

but umm have him make it so you can disassemble it so it will fit into a medium sized trunk :happysad:

 

if you look at it closely you can sorta see how it breaks apart
the seat and mounts come off from the frame.
the frame then can be folded in half and if need be the part holding the actual wheel portion can be taken off as well

ill ask him if he wants to make some more, but i know he wants to make another design that will maintain the strength but be a little more smaller

 

:werd: i had one of those steering wheels.. never liked it

controller > wheels

 

i want the new design

 

I bet the people who like controllers over steering wheels also like controllers over a mouse/keyboard combo on a FPS.
