Whats up I don't own GT4 or a PS2 yet(plan on getting it) but I do have xbox and Forza with a steering wheel.

I was just wondering about how much it would cost to build my own racing cockpit. Maybe I can also draw up plans for everyone else. I plan on making it out of wood and getting a used car seat with the sliders so it can be adjusted for short/tall people.:sly: So what has everyone payed for a used car seat in the junk yard? And whats your total cost so far in building your rig.

I plan on having actual sides on my setup and somehow directly mounting the wheel so you can't see the rest of it just the wheel and shifter(DFP). I don't want to have some thrown together look I want a pretty descent looking setup. It would be awesome to hook up 4 PS2's and 4 wheels and 4 cockpits and do some racing with friends. I live in Arizona City (by Casa Grande) if anyone would want to hook up and play some GT4 or Forza PM me, or help me build the cockpit.
 
I got a fvckin mint bucket(ish) seat from a Turbo Sprint I think it was from a local wrecker. Just phone up a few asking what is the price for a single seat out of anything, be it import, domestic, tweed, fabric, whatever just make sure they know you dont need a specific seat (theyll prolly charge more if they know your lookin 4 specific).. I paid 20 CAD for mine, inc rails, sliders and all that, she slides and reclines like a 'bute ;)
 
I paid $22 for a seat from a pick a part place, then about $30 for the wood. I had an extra surround receiver/6 speaker surround system and 19" tv sitting in my garage so I was set!
