cheaper would be to build your own, but that looks pretty cool to me. nm

I wouldn't take advice from someone who can't start a statement with a capital letter after a period. Just saying. 6/22/2013 8:11:50 PM |

Building your own isn't bad. Friend and I made his out of plywood and various lumber. It wasn't expensive, maybe $60 plus labor. Hardest part was ergonomics. That took about an half hour of trial and error before we got it comfortable.
PVC is another option.
We sourced a REALLY nice early 80's RX-7 passenger seat (no rips or stains) from LKQ for like $40.
I'm curious about the dimensions they used... 6/22/2013 9:13:18 PM |

lol @ video
1. buy $700 racing seat setup 2. play in 3rd person view
----------
if you build it yourself, you should figure out a way to put the whole thing on pneumatics and roll according to steering input and pitch according to gas/brake.
then give me one for free when you start your racing seat empire 6/22/2013 11:13:06 PM |

For $700, you could buy your buddy a set of racing tires and he'd probably let you drive the damn car in a regional. 6/23/2013 3:55:38 PM |

WHY BOTHER PLAYING VIDEO GAMES WHEN YOU CAN JUST USE THE MONEY FOR THE REAL THING!
Quit your job and become a racecar driver!! Any of you who like flight sims should just join the Air Force and become a fighter pilot! 6/25/2013 10:49:04 AM |

Or get a private pilots license, which 700 bucks could get you about 17% of the way to.

I don't even know what track worthy set of 4 tires you can buy. I can barely get 2 for 450 6/27/2013 10:10:18 AM |
