I picked up an Initial D cab cheap (if you don't count gas).
Almost a shame to not use more of it, but I've decided that I'm going to build twin LCD cabs using the bases of it and my current cab.
They will be similar in style to GeeBeef's cab. The front floor section on the Initial D cab is a bit different, but can easily be converted to match the Virtual-On.
Both cabs will be identical.
The initial D cab included two sets of Sega pedals, but the brake felt too stiff to me so I ordered another set of Happ Pedals w/clutch like I have in the current cab.
I'm going to buy matching racing seats.
Hopefully I'll find another Virtual-On seat base so they will both be the same height.
I'd prefer to stick with that base because the taller height works good with the Happ SF Rush 2049 Pedals and there is plenty of surface area on the side of it to mount a hand brake.
The front-part will be made from scratch. What size LCD is used will depend on what I find a deal on.
I need some larger TVs in my bar for watching football, so I'm also considering just mounting the TV to the wall and wheeling the cab away when I want to use them for football.
Another crazy idea I had was picking up a third, then having the screens of #1 and #3 hinged on one edge so they can be swung out to form a triple screen sim setup on #2. Not sure if it will get that crazy. I already have two mismatched 32" LCD TVs that could be used.
Not sure what I'm doing for dashboards yet. I have two pcbs from Logitech Momo's as interfaces and two Ketz shifters.
Also found someone on ebay selling vlt buttons that are the same size as the original view buttons, so I bought three sets of those.
(they are sold out of one of the colors now). I didn't like trying to shoehorn everything into the original Sega dash, so I'll probably do something more custom.
This project is low priority compared to the other three I have going (if you only count arcade related ones).
I'll continue to buy parts, but probably won't get into building stuff for another month.
