Its also very hard with the new wheel. I'll have to learn it all over again it seems.

After all this wedding shit is done and I finish paying off a little credit card debt from it I plan on making a simple setup like this. Not sure what route I wanna go or what platform. I hate to buy a whole console for what will basically end up being a single game.

eh, sunk costs. buy used. everything in that pics save for the xbox itself is used.Acid666 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2017 9:33 amAfter all this wedding shit is done and I finish paying off a little credit card debt from it I plan on making a simple setup like this.

used xbone's are about 200: spend the 50 bucks to buy new off amazon.
logitech g920 street price is ~280 plus 60 for the manual shifter, i got for 200 off the list
Legit Playseat street price between 300 to 400 on a good day: list? 140 cash monay.
So basically I got a setup that would have cost near 1k new with tax for 340 bucks. I do need to get the gearshift adaptor for the playseat if I want to use my shifter that's about 110...or i can try to make it. I think my time is prob more valuable

Sounds like how I'd build it. I'm and would piece that bitch together the same way. I half ass did some research on wheels and chairs a while back but held out since I didn't have any bites when I started to sell my bike. I ended up buying Konis and a sway bar instead, but I wan't to get some feaux seat time in between autocrosses.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2017 10:22 ameh, sunk costs. buy used. everything in that pics save for the xbox itself is used.Acid666 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2017 9:33 am

I want to dig into trail braking and it's really hard to do it on the course while I'm learning.
This is another reason I wanna get a small welder, so I can do little things around the garage, and modify shit like that to house a shifter and dumb shit like a drink holder. Gotta have a place to race and sip on my Circle K Polar Pop while hitting those sweet apexes and spilling Mike & Ikes all over the seat
wins hands down on awesome setup for fraction of new cost.
I can’t easily find the chair setup local. Could home brew a slider for existing car seat.

I’d say so. There isn’t one in the entire Texas gulf region. Looks like cutting and welding an excercise bike is in my future.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 7:58 amthey pop up from time to time; i got lucky with the timing on this one.

Got any pix? I got tons of woodworking tools. I'd love to get a small welder and do my own framing and seat mount/rails and stuff to learn with but realistically I can make it out of wood faster/cheaper/easier. It would be bulkier though.troyguitar wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 12:00 pmI still like my 2x4 setup. $10 in materials and a few hours.

These things are like $200 on B&H and newegg. Adjustable, and folds up so you can just throw it in a closet when you need space.

Looks like something I'd build to get the job done. Actually looks pretty compact with it in the corner.
My friend mentioned the foldable chair thing for $200, I just wasn't sure if it would be sturdy enough. Thing is I've got the room to put it somewhere permanently so I wanted something pretty stoute.
