C3 Driving Simulator
Took some PVC pipe and extra C3 seat cushions and made a "simulator" for Play Station, etc. with Logitech Wheel and Pedals. Sits right in front of big screen ... best part ... no speed limit signs!

I bought a logitech force feedback wheel a few years ago. I found i get motion sickness playing those NASCAR games.

Thanks for all the come-backs! 
Re: Sidepipes: I need to pick out my "wheels and tires" first!
My sons are the expert gamers and they bought me the NASCAR and the Wheel/Pedel set-up.
What I need now is an NHRA drag strip game if they make one.

Very nice!, you should post the "plans" for that in OT I am sure you could get alot of people interested and get some interesting mods out of it.
I can see some of our more "money" members taking it a step or two further by adding a passenger seat, a cheap projection unit and a huge screen. LMAO
You should drill some holes and feed the wires through the PVC and hide them. Add some plastic panels and you would be set.

I dig it; however, if I ever tried to put something like that in my living room my fiance would put my ***** in a juicer.

I did the very same thing with an old ’78 seat and the same wheel and pedals. For GT-4, Only I didn’t use PVC. I had an old table that I took apart to use and I added close quarters surround sound with sub behind the seat and 5 speakers to sides and in front of me. I wish I had some pics to post.
