Just curious on what others have done for racing cockpits for games... At the moment I've got back into Gran Turmsio again, so decided to knock up a cockpit for my G27 with a mate... Came up rather well too! Rather cheap to make. Made it out of wood.. Most expensive part was the side beams/"rails" which was $6. the rest of the wood came from the seconds/off cut bin from my local bunnings... The seat I have is from a AU Falcon, and inverted my pedals. Anyone who has a G25/G27 I would highly recommend inverting/reversing your pedals!
What I started with ![]() Thought I would of had too much wood, turns out not much left... ![]() How it ended up ![]() Then decided to get the twist out of the top and put a cheap as autobarn spec "drift" wheel on it... Massive upgrade in game play, makes it so so much nicer! and easier to control too! ($40 online for a metal adaptor to use a aftermarket wheel.. Nah mate, knock one up meself out of wood! does the job. ![]() All I gotta do now is get some new padels because they are too far out of reach to use now, and lower the gearbox as its too high. started building at 6pm, had it inside setup at 1.30am ![]() ![]() All in all works rather well, so what racing cockpits do you guys have/use? If there is anyone on here that plays GT5 online and is keen for a race add us to PSN...
