Outrun Cab Salvage (Dash complete. Speakers in the seats upgrade)
gbeef:
Another update, I need to bolt everything down. but here's where i'm at so far.
I basically built this thing in 3 pieces so i can move it down the stairs when complete.
extendedplayarcade:
175 total for the chair is a good deal. Does it have a slide adjustment to go back and forth for shorter and tall people to play the cab?
Yeah I never thought about how many racing games are on mame. I never tried the M2 but looks fun. Good thinking of the PC games too to be involved.
I have an xbox 360 stearing wheel. It seems pretty sturdy for family game play but I am sure it wouldn't last long. I wish it had a shifter but it only has the paddle shifters. I just drive with it on my lap. It was fun for an hour. Got bored fast. I was playing Forza. It was good but too long to open up all the cool cars. I like burnout 3 seeing you can blow stuff up but I never tried it with the stearing wheel.
Always fun to talk shop thanks for all the info and I love the new photos you posted too.
With your artwork. I always wonder what material that it is printed on? Vinyl sticker material? We have this stuff called control tack at work but looks really heavy duty. Like weather proof stuff.
Ok now I am just babbling. Thanks again for talking shop.

If you went with arcade quality parts would you go happ? I like your plans for the cab and I do like the new driving seat you go too. Looks nice. Where did you buy it and how much? (if you don't mind me asking)
Only reason I ask is My parents saw yesterday how good my cocktail table i am building is coming out (they where amazing, I guess they have no confidence in me before hahahha) and want to know if there was a way to make a driving race car cabinet like the one you are building.
I haven't seen many on this forum. If anyone has any links could they send um my way. I searched and find only bits and pieces.
Thanks I am subscribing to your post so I can see you progress. I can't wait looks great so far.

Yes ill be using all compnets and try to figure out a to use the speakers also. If the speakers dont work i have a set of Z2300. Ill be mounting the BUTTKICKER ( SHAKER AMP) to the bottom of the seat.
I went back and forth about using an arcade wheel. I even bought the parts and was going to use a HAPP's wheel merge with a logitech wheel. In the end i didn't go that route because i want to play games on PC NFS shift, Dirt2, Gran turismo. These games use a 6 Speed Shifter and cluch. Also by going with the a G27 Wheel i can play anything on PS2 and PS3. The Cabinet will support mame, and M2 eumlation. (hopefully future M3) But Mame Doesn't have a ton of quality racing games and M2 is limited (Daytona usa, Sega Rally).
The racing seat was from a place called ultraset up in canada i paid 125.00 +50.00 shipping wasnt too bad. If your in the US you could probably get a better deal off ebay.

If you need something to cover the pedal area with, I found a rubber runner at Lowe's that's a really close match to the stuff under the chair section.
It was easier to replace it than try to get the original clean.
I think this was it, but the ribs don't show up in the pic

(they have a smaller one that's only 3 bucks, but it doesn't give the dimensions and wasn't stocked at my local lowes http://www.lowes.com/pd_115764-84875-BM1101_0__?productId=3377894&Ntt=runner&Ns=p_product_price|0&pl=1¤tURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNs%3Dp_product_price%7C0%26Ntt%3Drunner&facetInfo= )
Your local home improvement store should have something similar.
Of course with the nice seat, you could choose to go with carpet.....

The artwork is being printed on Vinyl, with laminate on top. It basically the same material they use on Race car decals. I used this on my pinball cabinet.
I am looking for mat for the floor but something more of the lines of a Steel box texture. I've looked everywhere i cant find, but i have seen it out there.
extendedplayarcade:
vinyl with a laminate top. Sounds really nice. Where do you get that printed at? I printed artwork at work on our printer but it scratched off easy for my cocktail table. It might have to do for now because I need a custom size and I might just trim it myself. If i find the right material to print on.
