I don't know exactly what you mean: is it two seats one one base? I might be interested but I think the shipping costs would exceed building one from scratch since I live in the Netherlands. Shipping stuff this size and weight across the ocean would be rather expensive methinks. Thanks for the offer, I really appreciate it. Demonstrates the kind spirit in this community :-) |

I found the game I refferred to in my first post: it's WGP from Taito. http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=&game_id=10384 K.L.O.V. doesn't mention the specific feature though I'm sure it was this game that had a fan for the 'real race feeling'. |

you should go to junk yards, and auto shops... a lot of times... they have car seats available for cheap... (my place told me I can have them for free...) then all you need is wait for a 8 way adjustable seat... and waaaa-laaa.... its all good.... ps: my place is not junk yard.... but what they do sometimes is... they will auction a car back if they need parts... (like engine or transmission or something big...) and then they use that auction car for parts... and if there are 2 seats right there.... (they said they'll throw it away if nobody wants it...) heee hee..... btw.... I still haven't got a nice condition 8 way power seat yet..... |

--- Quote from: Felsir on June 06, 2004, 10:04:28 am --- Another goofy idea: a fan that blows wind in the driver's face. I remember a motorcycle game in the arcade (can't remember the name) that had this feature... Too bad no game actually outputs the speed the player is driving so I probably will not include this ... Any idea's, hints and sound advice is welcome! --- End quote --- I have plans (or dreams...) to build a driving cabinet. My original plan was to take measurements from a trans am, but my friend sold his, so I can't do that. He did take pics, so I might try to use that. Otherwise, it will be loosely based on my bonneville. As far as the fan... I was thinking of some way to mimic the air conditioning, so I don't really think your idea is goofy. I also intend on connecting buttons on to the steering wheel for the radio to use with winamp. |

>>8 way power seat<< you think one could hook that up to 12v from computer power supply? ;D now that would be cool. |
