He's made it upgradeable.  The wheel is clamped on to the tray, and the pedals are loose in the drawer- you can tell because they would stick out too far to fit behind the union jack license plate, they are slid back in the drawer before it's closed.  So he can use different controls as desired. 

Its a cool and well done project.  I would not invest so much time/effort/$ into a driving rig and end up without a dedicated shifter, but I understand why he kept the controls stock/simple.  Much better compatibility with a wide range of driving games.

It's a very cool build, but I think if I'm going to go all in on a driving game cab, I'd want to be sitting being a dashboard, in an actual bucket seat, with a shifter and pedals in the right place.

Hmmm, A +whole+ mini wouldn't take of that much space in the man cave would it?  :)

Didn't someone start such a build by dragging home a wreck.... A Taxi I think? The suck part is he passed away before the project got very far. That thread is around here but I can't find it. I think his girlfriend (fiance?) announced his passing and sent Saint his copy of the Book.
