Hey guys. I was looking at some of the wheel stands and all that and realized most were for if you're sitting on a couch or something. So I decided to build one that feels like a real car when you sit in it (my '04 Rio for reference).
Got a gaming seat for free at a second hand shop, have a Thrustmaster FGT 3-in-1 wheel and pedals (going to upgrade to a G25 later on), and some PVC tubes and fittings for a little less then $20
4 1" diameter PVC pipes, 6ft length
4 "T" Connectors
4 90 Degree Connectors
1 45 Degree Connector
1 4-way Connector
4 End Caps
Also, 1 Can of Krylon Fusion Black and Blue paint (but I didn't buy them, my bro did, so that's not included in the total
)
The first pic is everything laid out (except the legs, forgot about them when I took it). Second is the stand put together, roughly minus legs, with the seat and pedals/wheel.
It's defiantly not done yet, hoping to finish tommorow. Going to put the legs on, mount some wood for the wheel and pedal mounting surface, and cement most of the joints together. And maybe paint it. Depends on if there is any light left when I'm all done. Let my know what you guys think so far:tup:
