well, i got a gameracer for 400$ (sale) and will never stick a wheel on a table again. the seat is way comfortable, and being so low to the ground, you really feel like your in a car.
as far as I'm concerned, it is worth every penny, and if you are planning on getting one, don't wast you $ on the full seat, the "club" blue karting seat rocks, and u save 50$

Got the car seat from a car wrecker for AU$70. It's from a 92-96 Mazda 323 Astina, and feels and looks kinda sporty, but still comfortable.
Took me a while due to inexperience and changing of plans part-way through (MDF kept splitting when I drilled into the side of the crosspieces, so they were changed to pine). This is a major advantage of the Firetooth plans (or making any cockpit yourself) - they're fully customisable.
Basically if you've got your act together, you're looking at, say, an hour to cut the frame and wheel-plate out of a sheet of MDF (or plywood, or whatever); another hour to cut the crosspieces (mine are 65cm across, nice and comfortable!), then assembly.
Tips I could give are: Cut the bottom edges of the frame very carefully, as if they are not straight, the frame may not sit straight; measure twice with a set-square and ruler, cut once. I lined up some of my angles with the wheel-plate, which I then realised didn't have a right-angle around it
See a couple more pics at http://orbit.myphotoalbum.com/view_album.php?set_albumName=cockpit and just ask if you have more Qs.
