firstly!!!!

are you fitting a PS2 a PC a xbox/360 a atari!!!!!


thats the first thing then!!!

if your using it for ONLY driving and your using a PC you need a PC steering wheel for a joystick/USB port.

where as if it was for other consels i would try and get a multi wheel

then the games


well look around


but i might be able to help more when you specify more!

First thing I would do is browse through KLOV and come up with a general cab design you like. I lean towards the enclosed style driving cabs myself, but the newer open style cabs would be easier and less expensive to build.

Take a look at the BYOAC WIKI, there's a section specifically on driving cockpits. The Eliminator cockpit shown there is an open type, but it's a fairly complete demo showing what goes into building such a cab. Build one like it using sides and a top and you've got an inclosed cockpit.
