looks good, just need to figure out a way to mount the gear shifter off the office seat so its actually where it would be in a car

 

^ I thought about that, but my chair has armrests so it's hard to do comfortably. With the playseat, or any regular car seat, it would work out. I may build a full cockpit sometime in the future, but for now this is the 70% solution.

I thought it would feel awkward, but it's been working out so far.

 

Man you guys are serious about your car games, this game must be sick!! looking forward to the invite soon, looks like fun.Looks like there is enough room up there in that bonus room for a roomate..ill pay rent haha.

 

i did mine the cheap way i had an old 2x4 and mounted it then put it under the seat cushion with the shifter sticking out the side, works great and is about where it should be

again just like you its a band-aid until i can make something bc i am not spending money for a seat, but i saw this mod where you take an e-brake from any car wire it to a button on the shifter to have a "working e-brake"

 

Yeah I'm not spending $360 for a playseat when you can fabricate the same for less than half the $. You can get a racing seat from Jegs for $40, or even an old seat from a junkyard. The rest is just wood and metal. I already had the chair, so the rest was an easy build. I've seen working speedo clusters on some forums. Crazy stuff, but I'm not sure I'll go that far, yet...

GT5 is all kinds of awesome. Whenever you guys wanna have another meet up, we can cook on the grill and have some fun. Hopefully we have some warm days coming up.

If I were single, I wouldn't even have a mortgage payment because I would have pimped this place out with roommates a long time ago.

 

have you messed with photo mode any?

 

Here ya go

 

tight! and LOL at driving with the fire suit and helmet on!

sup, Pete I saw that Erik has the G back again when i drove past his house, everything go smoothly? did you give him a lecture about proper engine care LMAO

 

Yeah, went well. No lecture involved. Machines break, we fix em, they break again. Just fixed the trans in my car and I know the rear is gonna come apart after a few hits.

 

where do you go? id love to see that thing run!

 

that first one is Ryan sitting at home playing his GT5 with his race gear/helmet on ....lmao!!

 

RIchmond or Dinwiddie. Probably go to Dinwiddie better track prep and it's a little faster. It's pretty fast for a street car but nothing worth making a trip for. I'm trying to get a few guys to go on a street night pretty early in the season.

 

Hey! I need a powdercoater. My guy in michigan did the job for $40 a wheel. Lowest I can find is 100$ per. I need help

 

^did have a number of a place in Colonial Heights that does powdercoating but cant seem to find the number for the place now. If i happen to find the number, will post for you on here. Dont really know how much they charge, wish i could be of more help.

 

Thanks! Just let me know if you find it. I can't spend 500$ to powdercoat. And the purple wheels gotta go lol
