Pako's Cockpit (prototype)

[Pako]

Just got it back from getting powder coated.....

This is just a prototype..., there are somethings that need tweaked, like bolt on accessories vs. welded, rubber adjustable padded feet, cut design, with flared tubing for easy assembly and shipping.... The Keyboard tray needs a little work also...

Keyboard Tray for PC Racing.... rFactor anyone?

I have some wire management that needs done, need to make a serial port extender for the shifter wires so I can run them along the tubing, ect....

Pretty slick man. Liking the red.

I like how you used a regular car seat for your prototype rig. I have a race bucket in my real car & it would be nice to sit in a regulat car seat to grind GT5 in.

Car seat is the way to go man, cheap if you know how to get them, can look awesome (I have a pair of 93 Prelude seats, would warm your Honda loving heart) and damn comfortable, we actually juts sit in them as gaming seats when I don't have the wheelstand drug out!

I love Prelude seats, one of my fav OEM Honda seats.

Yeah, hit the junkyard for some seats. This one's ok, comfortable enough.... Still keeping my eyes out for some leather. Problem there is most leather seats are also electric, for ease of use, manual adjustments is what I need.

You didn't get it powder coated to match your Skjold?!?

Disappointed, I am.

Looks awesome, Pako!

Looking great Pako. Top job. 👍 How are you holding the pedals in place? Is the mesh creating enough grip or did you put bolts through it into the pedals?

It's bolted from the bottom, 4 thumb bolts and washers. The mesh allows for some semi-permanent adjustments. We are working on a plate/pin system for the next one to allow for quicker adjustments. Would be nice to add some angle adjustments as well. 👍

I know, I asked for maple burl and got Candy Apple red with metallic flake. *shrugs*

I really like your rig, I wish I had the tools and space to make something like that, growing tired of my Forza 3 Playseat.
