Ok, is the thing the wheel is clamped too a table?
Is the char a body board?
Is the back bit some kinda table with a phone sellotaped to it?

Technical info is : made from 12mm MDF (a compressed type of craftwood) Went through plenty of design changes along the way and The seat is fibreglass, came from my local university, donated by the guys who did the formula ford for their thesis. Upholstered with red vinyl, cushions are velcroed in to place. The rear panel has the front panel from a puter speaker set and also the rear panel for the speaker output plugs. Two speakers have been fitted to the side panels next to the seat so they blast right in your ears . The sub-woofer at the rear has now been replaced with an "aura interactive shaker". The chassis now rumbles quite nicely at idle and wants to move across the floor when you hit the ripple strips etc. Wheel is removable and is fitted to a hinged panel so you can get in and out easily. Front pod folds back on itself for storage. The pedal support panel in the front pod has two slots, one for adults and one for kids. I still have to get some sort of art work for stickers that can be printed at my local computer cut signwriters. I use TVTool to get the display on telly, all I need now is a wide screen digital telly lol. Please send money. All donations gratefully accepted. Cost to build not inc wheel, around $500-00 Thanks to Vader for hosting the pics, Cheers m8.

"Aura interactive shaker"? Could you please elaborate on this one a bit more?

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

ummm, well that's what it was called. aura is the brand name, it somehow works on a sega, nintendo or playstation, the user straps it on and it connects to the game unit so when you play fighting games or whatever the feedback from a rumble pack is fed to the shaker unit. It is worn on the chest and looks like body armor of sorts. I just found aurasound.com and there might be a pic My local electronics store had these on a post xmas sale for $10-00, yep only $10-00 each, I smashed it open, removed the shaker unit and hooked it up to the bass output from the puter speaker amp and woohoo sheik yerbouti

I see, so it is not connected to the midi/sound or USB port to get FF effects? It is the pure power of the bass that makes this thingy dance? Amazing!

Yeah thanks, it works a treat. I've still got a little bit more painting to do but I'm having too much fun using it to be bothered right now

I always wish like that in my room! Wow!

Why don't you try to make one? A simple one can be made using a seat from a small sedan, you could probably get one from a wreckers pretty cheap or nick one from your Mum's car Mount it to a couple of bearers with a simple frame to support the steering wheel and pedals, If you know someone that has a welder you could maybe use lightweight 20mm box steel instead of timber. I'd guess that most serious sim racers would have some sort of cockpit setup. Tried doing a full race sitting at a desk? It's not easy Get building Have fun.
