What I did with an RX-8 seat, some wood and some PVC pipes.
Still working in progress, will upload more pics if you guys wanna see more and when I'm done.

Special thanks to Vyndictive for selling me his seat.

Seat Completed.
Ta-DAaaa!!! (=_= yea i guess the "art" part could be better, o well, it still looks good IMO =D)
For those who were wondering where I mounted the shifter.
Steering Wheel Mount.
Pedals Mounts
Seeing how weird the seat rail mounts, I have gone the lazy route and made it a tripod. Still very sturdy as what it is.
Yea, the base is pretty darn ugly, but i don't really care, no one'd really look at the base, well not me at least.
The making of...

thanks guys haha, I'll post more pics when i'll done, which hopefully it'll be done by tomorrow night :P
Yess! haha and so much more on PC, Live for Speed, iRacing, F1 2010, GTR2, Ferrari Virtual Academy and all :P
pics!! i'd love to see what other people do with this idea. I first saw these on the gt planet forum.
um... i have an extra tube on the side, i'll show you tomorrow when it's done.
haha yes i do, but the g25 like other people said comes with a shifter, which i seldomly use cuz... it feels too fake anyway, paddle shifters are so much faster and more fun haha, then again, nothing compares to the feeling of driving a manual car in real life.
build one! it took me 6 hours tops, cutting the pipes was the worst part. It only cost me $80 + the seat vs. $450 for a playseat.
you can haz thiz http://www.fanatec.de/html/index.php?id=2302&
yep it is haha "3D weave" from eBay.

I need to take some better pictures of mine, now that I have this nice new camera 
How do you like the PC racing sims by the way? I've never really tried any. I have three matching monitors from work that all quit powering up about the same time, been thinking about taking them in somewhere to see if it's a cheap fix and build a 3-monitor setup

And finally F1 2010 is a relatively new game, awesome graphics and sounds but the AI and bugs are getting on my nerves, not THAT realistic either, but it's still fun :D

GT5 and Forza can be buried in the ground compared to games on PC, I particularly love Live for speed, despite their not so great graphics, it's still by far number 1 on my list. Then again, Ferrari Virtual Academy's the most fun though, but it lacks variety, it only has 3 tracks and well 1 car, but it's sooooo fun challenging yourself with faster lap times one after another.
