Had a new TIG welder and tubing bender and nothing to bend or weld! Project consumed 3 sticks of 10' X 1"(I think) EMT electrical conduit. Cost almost nothing to make. The seat(out of my very first car, a Banzai Blue '91 Plymout Laser RS) sliders are functional along with the lumbar and tilt. Makes playing driving games MUCH better.

We've gotten around 50-60 inches of snow the last week and a half here, and all I can think of is how to turn this into a steerable bobsled device... :twisted:

That's pretty effin' sweet shaun!

That's funny as fruit and banana Tony.

I could make a sweet sled out of EMT conduit.

My wife would boot me out if I tried to keep that in my living room.

I had to make one that folds into a normal chair. The pedals slide underneath like a drawer, and you can pop the wheel off and fold the arm for the wheel underneath.

I made that ^ waterfall ^ device too. That one is conduit.

Other angle with the updated wheel:

Very nice! I had that same exact chair a few years ago.

Any woman that is ever with me knows there is no stopping me playing video games, no stopping me playing with cars and stopping me riding bikes. Had a woman try to domesticate me and I left her. HAHA

Me too. I need a new TV so I can put my 48" 1080i rear projection in the basement as a dedicated gaming TV.

I don't like to be that close to the TV. That is adjustable though!

for forza being as close to the TV as possible is a necessity.. have to be in the zone!

and that whole thing cost me $18 (or whatever the sheet of MDF cost me)

had old 2g seats laying around.

if i did it again i wouldn't use MDF.. stuff kinda sucks to work with.
