Umm...

Dunno exactly how you are driving with this setup but...

Sorry, can't see any pics.

Thanks mate!
Sorry, was checking again after Jetman's post and they did show up without any problem. Strange...

Wow, an amazing setup you built there!

Indeed a nice set-up --- where did u get the seat??? and whats the black frame made from???

Looks real sweet

Hey Jason,I got the seat from Summit Racing products for $149.00 on sale
and $20.00 for the universal seat mounts and the frame I made from 2" Black ABS plastic pipe,plywood,and black carpet all from Lowes Hardware for about another $150.00.
No real plans other than just some rough sketches just to figure out how much pipe and how many fittings I would need.LOL ,lots of fittings.
The cool thing about the ABS plastic pipe is its real easy to cut and the adhesive sticks instantly.
I did the whole thing in my apartment in a couple of evenings.
Thanks fof the compliments guy's
Bob

Bob - does it wobble with the frame made of plastic???

No not at all

What a great set up..the ECC wheel and pedals look fantastic so does the great frame you have built. .

Does the wheel have a gear stick or do you use paddles.?

Cool setup Bob!

Now, you just need one of those 180 degree monitors!

Thanks for the cool compliments guys.
I'm currently using the paddels to shift.
ECCI says they are working on a stick shift now and I probably will get it as soon as it becomes available.
Currently I have the clutch,pmb braking,fluid dampener w/ cooling jacket and the high definition usb options.
Also they are comming out w/ more buttons as a addon.
and yeah the 180 degree monitor would rock.
Scotty do you know who makes them and how much they are?
and I wonder how high the resolution is.
My Samsung 21.3" lcd I love but it only goes to 1600x1200.

Okay, I'm somewhat embarassed to post after seeing Bob's UltraWhizzo HiTech creation, but what the hell...

I've gone with a somewhat more rustic sensibility - can't be bothered to paint it, as I keep cutting bits off of it and/or bolting new bits onto it. (It's on it's third different wheel (Logitech DFP) and second seat - so it's been redesigned a few times.)

Basically, it's just a rectagular wooden frame (5' x 2') with a tiltable pedal 'shelf', and a tiltable table that slides over the frame rails. The table screws into the frame for stability, but can (theoretically) be removed to be put away. This has never happened. The seat I got for free when my girlfriend's last car died -- though since I had to buy her another car, it wasn't exactly 'free', I suppose.

Oh, and it has a cupholder. (Which doubles as a remote control holder.)

But it's the 61' Sony that makes it...

Hi All

Holy christ at a barbaque.look at the size of that screen.

I thought my 19inch monitor was big.!

Bob you have a fantastic racing setup but the picture of that cat is abit to much for me to handle.!!!

John your setup is awsome! that Sony rocks!
Tell me more about the Sony and what resolution can you get out of it?

what cat ?

<-----Ok Revracing, you made fun of my cat but you better not say nothin about my cousin from West Virginia!
<-----

Hehe-what a great picture Bob.

Your cousin is certanly unique and must be the talk of Sunny West Virginia.

Here is my set up for now. I want to get a BIG LCD monitor ( 24"?) or go with a projector system.
