Starting the NFS Shift cabinet. Anyone build this one and have advice??
BadMouth:
Ya gotta post the build pics. We've been teased too many times by people who say they are going to build it, then are never heard from again.

I have plans for this build as well (hopefully sometime in 2011 after I finish my mame cab). I'm planning on using a PS3 with the G27.
Don't go with the xbox, the G27 is the best wheel out there and is a must for a cabinet like this. I own a G27, and it's amazing, you won't regret it.
Definitely keep us posted, I love the design of this...the only thing I don't like is the size.

You peeps r getting me more fired up on this lol. I'm gonna build it, ya only live once ;)
Alright I guess Ill take pics and do it up for everyone. It may take a couple months but I'll post 'em up. Going to buy the rest of the hardware 2nite. Will grab materials after the new year and start ripping wood!
@Dirty - Thx for the advice; I heard the Fanatec is incredible as well though ;)
DirtyDachshunds:
One other thing that I am going to do when I build this is add bass shakers to the seat. That way you get some vibration to a throttling engine or a wreck.

Def post the build, I would love to see how you do it, and it will def help me out when I build mine (as soon as I get the extra room). There are some great video's out there of other peoples race simulators, with motion, seat rockers, deal car dashes, real racing seats, etc.. and 9 out of 10 times they are using a g25 or g27 wheel. There is actually someone out there (I forget where, maybe ebay?) that sells a steering wheel adapter so you can remove the logitech wheel and install a real steering wheel (momo, grant, sparco, etc..) and a spring that makes the stick shift feel more authentic and you can use whatever screw on shift knob. I also noticed a lot of people take the pedals apart and mount them upside down so they are top mounted like in a real car. I have seen some great setups, and I have a million idea's floating around for when I am ready and I would love to see what someone else does. Good luck on the build and keep us posted of your progress!
