Finally got around to building it. Sense the pictures were taken, the cords were attached to the frame, surround sound speakers were added, a cup holder was added, and its great!!! The seat was off a Nissan 200SX and I got it for $25! One of my buddies suggested covering it in black low pile carpet like a cars interior, so I think that will be next weeks project. All in all it cost me about $75 to build and took 2 hours :) The seat is fully adjustable, front back and recline.
 
Simply amazing. Alot of people like me would pay alot of money for that. I think you have something going there. Make a patent, become a lisenced dealer to get the GT wheels from the manufacturer really cheap, and you can sell those for probally $150 each. $300 w/ speakers and cup holder:D
 
i've got enough left over material to build a second one, just need $3 worth of 2x4's and 2 hours and I could make another one, just without the seat and wheel obviously
 
Great. I want one too, but don't think my wife would accept it in our living room. :lol:
 
With mine im going to put a Corbeau seat and mount a 5 point harness to the side 2x4's and the rear 2x4. And put on my racing helmet. And than I will be all set :cool:
 
nice...I want that to :)
ps.that you build was a great idea ;)
 
thats really a nice set up i wish i could have one but my parents probably wouldn't let me put it in my room (it's messy enough already)
 
Very nice work! I'm getting very tempted to build one of those during the summer (if my parents wouldn't mind having that in the basement).

And what type of store would you get a cheap car seat like that?

If you wanted something functional and cheap with thousands and thousands of options, go to your local junk yard. You will have more selections of seats than you could imagine.

Got my seat from an internet junk yard... I let them know which seat I wanted and they told me what they had and what the prices were. I just told the dude I wanted a sporty looking seat for cheap, and he told me he had a passanger seat from a nissan with a small cig burn for $25 shipped greyhound... So I took it.
 
looks real easy to make... my wife too would not ejoy it being in the lounge room tho :p
 
Wow, nice driver's seat. I would like to get one of those but my room is too small..... :irked:
 
You have still had it marvellous!! I have also an armchair of car of scrapping and I like do to me something of it. But first I have to buy me the steering wheel jeje
