    Default Racing Cockpit/Simulator Thoughts

    So in anticipation of Gran Turismo 5 coming out, which who knows when that will be, I'm starting to plan my cockpit build.

    I've be lurking at GT Planet lately for ideas and thoughts but have not been able to find any build plans.

    If you have or are thinking of building one please share whatever info you have.

    This is what I need and know so far:

    PS3
    Logitech G25, G27, or Fanatec wheel/pedal combo
    Seat with rails
    1" square tubing
    Hardware
    Paint

    I really like this build and would like to replicate it buy that person won't give up his plans.



    See build thread here.

    I think LittleBlueNeon on here has something like that. Maybe he will chime in. I have been hearing GT5 may never come out, and almost for sure not in 2010 so don't hold your breath.

    Chilicoke has a real nice build. I say get a g27 wheel and mount it on a play seat. Chilicoke welded his own cockpit if your handy enough to build and wire go for it. But if you want similar results at a fraction of a time then get a play seat!

    I plan to fab my own, which is not a problem. I want similar results at a fraction of the price. In terms of the cockpit itself I can get the steel for almost free. My biggest expense beside the PS3 and wheel will be the seat. I've found some decent looking knockoffs on ebay but they only come in pairs. I'm trying to find someone to split the pair with me.

    you could always buy back your old bride. I don't think Andy even uses it, don't quote me on that though.

    You think is overboard? This isn't even that crazy compared to some I've seen.
