Anybody got some good ideas on how to make a racing simulator, something like the Playseats arrangement?

Can't be that hard to reproduce from plywood and some 2 x4's. Post your setups!

I got a better Idea, why not build a Locost chassis and build it around that with the gaming Wheel and pedal box? Obviously you wouldn't need to most of the stuff as it's not going to be an actual car, and If you got adventurous you could wire up some of those ram things to make it move about.
One me and a mate built,just needs powder coating now,makes such a difference to game play.
Now you need the wraparound monitor screens
Don't think much of the side intrusion/rollover protection.

Potential Haynes manual?
Could use scrap JCB hydraulics

Actually runs on electric motors/worm gears. Apparently it gives faster and more accurate reactions.
Tut Tut....liquids in the lab...
