Gran turismo 5 setup
So i bought the Logitech Driving Force GT steering wheel the other day. its wicked, i love it, but I hate having it in my living area as it takes up too much room when mounted to a table, and its a pain in the a$& to move everytime im not using it. It really should have been made wireless but anyways. I had the day off, a huge pile of scrap wood, and the seat from a mid 90's Toyota Previa minivan. So i set to work and this is what i came up with...

The seat retains the stock rails, and still adjusts. Also the entire unit is on casters so i can slide it out of the way. The table i used to support the wheel is also adjustable for height and angle. Now all i need is a new tv...
