In true Malaysian spirit, I decided to DIY one. This DIY took me 2 months to complete. Actual time working on it was 2 full days plus some time on and off working on the misc and aesthetic parts. Started end of August and just managed to finish it. For those who want to DIY it, you can PM me for details. I'll be happy to provide sketches of some design components like the adjustable arm for your reference. And if you think you have a better design, let me know and I will put it in my next build. http://imageshack.us/a/img20/336/nae1.jpgThe sketch that started it all. Designed to give the user a more inclined seating position. I also try to make everything adjustable to fit users of all heights (and width). Turns out the pedals do not need to be adjustable as the seat can already move to and fro.http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/3087/ls5l.jpgFrame is made of 50mmx25mm mild steel rectangular sections 1.2mm thick. The main frame is welded together but the other parts like the steering mount and seat are removable. http://imageshack.us/a/img401/4204/kv11.jpgTest fitting seat angle. More support plates were welded to the frame after this picture was taken. http://imageshack.us/a/img33/4272/xptk.jpgSeat test fitting, from another anglehttp://imageshack.us/a/img132/6515/2wyy.jpgKnobs for adjusting steering rake and reach.http://imageshack.us/a/img594/855/ngjn.jpgAdjustable steering wheel angle. CNC plasma cutter was still under repair so had to cut the groove by jigsaw. http://imageshack.us/a/img15/1702/97be.jpgWelding everything together. This is a good example of a messy workplace.http://imageshack.us/a/img32/1212/q7dr.jpgTest fitting with seat, wheel and pedals.http://imageshack.us/a/img833/6093/kpl3.jpgAfter welding and test fitting. Ready to be painted.http://imageshack.us/a/img109/8733/ojwy.jpgSpray painting the frame black. This is the only item in my build that I regretted. Should have powder-coated it for a more lasting finish. Spray paint tend to chip off easily, especially around the parts that are adjustable and in contact with each other. http://imageshack.us/a/img163/25/2zhz.jpgHalfcut condition. Seat is from a Subaru Impreza WRX STi Version5.http://imageshack.us/a/img23/644/gw4k.jpgAfter an hour of scrubbing with a soft bristle brush and Dynamo washing liquid. The whole seat was wet and took 4 days to properly dry out.http://imageshack.us/a/img577/6615/crmj.jpgTest run!http://imageshack.us/a/img856/7971/q0ry.jpg"Butt-kicker" diyed from a 12 inch subwoofer. Bolts straight to the frame of the sim. Provides strong vibrations and feedback for rumble strips, road roughness and contact with other cars. Adds another level of realism for racing sims. Once you have tried a "butt kicker" sim, you never want to go back to static sims. Google or Youtube "DIY Tactile Transducer" on how to complete this DIY. This part is purely for aesthetic purposes only. Was going to order plastic caps to cover the holes at the end of the rectangular sections. But, why buy when you can DIY?http://imageshack.us/a/img703/5160/a1cq.jpgSketch of GT logo in Google Sketchup.http://imageshack.us/a/img443/9756/k8f9.jpgPrinting the GT logo out on the 3D printer. This model is a Solidoodle 3D printer. Cheapest 3D printer on the market now. Prints decently for the price you are paying. UP! 3D printer is also another economical printer.http://imageshack.us/a/img20/5958/ak17.jpgMass producing GT logoshttp://imageshack.us/a/img845/544/32ic.jpgReady to be spray painted whitehttp://img21.imageshack.us/img21/8190/jtkj.jpgSprayed white with black backing.http://imageshack.us/a/img713/671/pzuo.jpgBlack backing glued behind like this.http://imageshack.us/a/img822/433/rsq1.jpgAll done with black backinghttp://imageshack.us/a/img854/7917/ascw.jpgGT logos to cover up all the gaping holes.http://imageshack.us/a/img405/2623/xn11.jpgRed switch to deactivate vibrations.http://imageshack.us/a/img51/5066/y1ul.jpgMore GT logoshttp://imageshack.us/a/img39/2430/ebnf.jpgAnd some more. Now, this is unmistakably a GT-themed race sim.http://imageshack.us/a/img547/1426/qt3l.jpgCable management. http://imageshack.us/a/img15/5499/nss7.jpgOne of the objectives of this build is to eliminate messy cabling. http://imageshack.us/a/img11/6046/4c52.jpgCable routing to steering wheelhttp://imageshack.us/a/img407/1200/vgf9.jpgAdded some aesthetic features like the front and back GT logo plate (still going with the GT theme)http://imageshack.us/a/img201/8035/fkcn.jpgAnd we're done!http://imageshack.us/a/img29/4648/8wkl.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img29/7035/2css.jpg</blockquote>
