Will my G25 Cockpit be ready in time for GT5???

[delyard]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on here, I have been viewing for a while gathering ideas for my cockpit. I have just got my G25 wheel peddals and shifter, also an XRocker gaming chair and 2 sheets of 8 by 4 MDF - busy busy now!!!

I hope to be posting pics of my build as it comes along, work will continue whenever possible as my son is 1 year old and takes up so much time, once the cockpit is ready his driving lessons can begin.

So here are a few pics nothing to get exited about yet but after a long time planning and saving it is started.

Good luck with your project, man. It's coming along nicely. As for whether or not it will be ready by GT5's launch... I have a hunch that it will be.

Thanks, I bet GT5 will be out by about 2020!

here are a few more pics from today, just checking the position of things before I start marking up and cutting the side walls

Thanks alot

I got mine from argos

I got this one when it was on special offer just before Christmas it was £69
The sound is really good, alot better than I thought it would be plus all the speakers are built into the seat so it saves room in the cockpit. Its really nice to sit in for a long time too so great for endurance races. The fold away arms are removable leaving 3 threaded holes on each side of the chair - perfect for mounting into a cockpit and it stops it from rocking.

Started work on position and monting of the wheel and pedals, very hard on your own when your sat in the seat legs out for the pedals and then trying to hold everything and mark it up. I need about 5 pairs of hands - or another person.
