I've never been a big fan of the PVC rigs, but this is looking very nice. I know I will be in the market for a new rig in the future, as my playseat is not holding up very well. I was looking at other setups and I was shocked at the prices. When you finish and get a parts list together please post it up.

You're really gonna put a baby seat in that thing? Sweet.

And good write-up in a PDF file would be the way to go.

Did I miss how you created the curves? Do you use heat?

Found something interesting on Amazon.

Go there and seach for Chicago Gaming Company's Redline GT Full Immersion Racing Simulator...

Sweet!!!

Three frickin' grand. Thank but I will take my cockpit and spend the other 2840 on the electronics. I see that it comes with a wheel and pedals but for that kind of cash I would want something a bit higher line than a G27. Not meant as a knock I still have mine its a good wheel. But 3k is big money I think.

Yes they actually make industial grade heating "blankets" to assist with the bending.
But before I did that I tested the idea with a heat gun. Have seen guys installing plumbing for pools use a torch.

Much cheaper that most consoles with built+in butt shakers.  They are usually in the $5-10K range.

I was thinking if I sold my other two consoles it might be somewhat  affordable. 


Oh well, saw it and thought I'd share it with the Tuna Croon...

"Telescoping steering wheel"

I didn't know the G27 did this.

I kind of don't need a truck for storage and 4 brake lights.

These guys get a lot of good press over on the iRacing forum.  You can go as low as just buying their software to drive a buttkicker, or as high as this motion cockpit:

That's awesome baked! Great job. Have you ever raced on a big screen from further away? I wonder how different the game feels being that close to a screen.

Imagine same rig no tv or mounting system. And I would pull it up in front of main tv in living room it was a 42 inch current tv is 26 incher. I run the in car cam and this set up gives a more proper perspective. Hope tht was understandable and close to what you were asking for.
