Driving Station with new Logitech Wheel?

[Yazza]

I hope the release a decent driving station with the new wheel & game. The podium 1 looked good but wasnt exactly "home freindly". It was way too big to put to the side. They need to make one that is foldable away or something. Also they need to include clips or grips of some sort to ensure the steering wheel wont fall off if u yank it too hard, the new 900 degrees motion mite be too much for me, i cant imagine how angry id be after completing 59laps @ laguna seca and then be passed because my wheel flew away! I would also appreciate on any info on other driving stations apart from the podium 1, I'm considering buyin 1.

Included a pic of the podium 1.

I will probably make my own if I buy it. I'll use a seat from my nice 87 corolla.

in the us you can get a bob earl version or something. but im sure this should be available too. bobs one is quite good, based on f1 position.

any information on the price of that driving station setup?
Or a website that is selling it?

I've been debating on Bob Earls Virtual Racing Chassis or building my own. His product is compact and that would be good for not taking up much space.

There is an XBox version & a PS2 version. You can also get it from
http://www.ajg-direct.com/games/ps2-podium1_monaco.html

This one is also available for less room, it can sit in front of your armchair or whatever.

Having one in the household, then having friends coming over, saids "geek/nerd" better than anything... then they focus on the racing seat and can't resist the beauty of it.

But alas, I don't think I'd fit in one of those puppies, I'm 6'2.

Plus, for the long legged folk, can you adjust the chair to slide back and forth?

(P.S. That xbox one that is snot green is damn ugly.)

How much is it in US dollars? How much to ship it to Ohio?

Are there any testimonies on the Game Chopper

This RaceBase seems pretty cool although it seems way too expensive. http://www.racebasecockpit.com/

too bad they dont sell instructions on how to make one, it'd be easy if you're handy tools, all it looks like is particle board or ply wood or something, you could make one cheaper than $600 this way

 

[silverpuyo]

more like $100

all u need is some wood and a used car seat which can be found for under $50 @ junk yards

ill definatly make one when gt4 comes out and when i buy that new wheel

my logitech wheel mount is just a small stand up table with a kitchen chair behind it

i like the fact that the wheel has a rally shifter but it looks so small...
